Conflicting responses from the Dell on Radeon HD rep 7870 GPU switch to my xps 8500!

OK, I'm a little confused as to this what are my options. First of all, here are my PC specs:

Dell XPS 8500

Intel i7 3770

GPU GeForce GT 620

1080 p @ 60 GHz Dell moniter 24 "

460 Watt power

Windows 8

1 TB HD

As you can see a GPU upgrade is in the defined order. After some exhaustive research, through these forums and elsewhere, I came to the conclusion that an AMD Radeon HD 7870 is a level accepted for the 8500 XPS is based on the fact that it is an upgrade option during the build process when ordering as well as recommendations specific to Dell in these forums. I understand that the card requires a minimum of 500 watts and my computer only has a 460 Watt power supply. I can only speculate that Dell has tested and approved this set upwards. So, I ordered a Powercolor Radeon Hd 7870 high grade of my system.

Here's the problem: I am concerned that the 8500 XPS accepts only HD 7870 from a manufacturer so I was chatting online with a Dell representative this morning that not only told me that the Powercolor will not work, but also, the AMD Radeon HD 7870 will not work. I'm really confused. Who is right and who is wrong. The representative of Dell, I chatted with that also informed me that food is not up-dimmable (which, I have to disagree). He also gave me a link to a generic list of the dell offers GPU on its Web site that was unnecessary.

I need some clarification on this. At any improved successfully / unsuccessfully to either of these two GPU with a similar setup as mine?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks HanoverB,

Here is the link to the map of power supply, I ordered. www.NCIX.ca/products

I agree with Chris M response too. All frustrated by the lack of knowledge of the other REP should have just asked in the forums instead.

I appreciate your efforts!

AX7870 2GBD5-2DH is a reference map of running at stock speeds and should work on the supply POWER Dell as he pulls ~ 175W of what I was able to research.

Here is a close-up of the back of the card and Powercolor uses the PCB of the AMD, so as long as it is not a video bios problem (and there won't be that Dell supports this map of Pitcairn XT in list of Chris') it will probably work

I would say, install it and give it a go!

    Hi abk55,

    What program you receive this error message?
    Have you tried another browser, for example Firefox or Opera?

    I guess it has something to do with your wireless network card or WLAN parameters if the LAN cable is working properly. So you should try to update the WLAN driver on the Toshiba site.
    Also, try to disable the filtering of MAC addresses and use another encryption.

  • No response from the keyboard on Equium M40X

    Hi all

    Posted before on this problem, just mounted a new keyboard, but getting no response from it, the luminous numbers lock is on, but nothing works, it is a new keyboard, my old one was doing the same thing, reinstalled the system using a usb keyboard but still the same, no response from the keyboard, any ideas?

    Hello

    Connect the flat keyboard cable properly to the motherboard?
    Make sure that the keyboard cable is firmly connected to the system board.
    If the internal keyboard has been correctly connected, so I think there must be something wrong on the motherboard.

    I think detailed diagnosis can be done by a technician with experience much more as a common user like you and me.

He used to connect to our servers using the VPN client. This is why he could not send mails to id field not (in this case itself).
