    What is a simple but effective update to the XPS 8500 video card? (Computer complete Newb)


    Hello Dell Community. I read through the sticky XPS compatibility and some discussions on upgrading video cards. However, I couldn't find something that fits my needs. If you all can help me with this, would be great!

    Characteristics of the computer:

    • Dell Xps 8500
    • Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHZ
    • 16 GB of Ram
    • 64-bit operating system
    • AMD Radeon HD 7570

    Needs:

    • Run newer games of 2014/2015 without lag on medium to high heat (GTA V)
    • Relatively easy to install (remove some screws and paste the video card in and voila!)
    • No need to upgrade the power supply

    Budget is $ 200-250:

    • Obviously the lower the better and if need be, the budget is flexible. Depends on if the gain is important for the payment of the sum.

    Look forward to your answers!

    Thank you

    Richard

    A card that I know works is $200 would be

    EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0 + 2GB GDDR5 128 bit 02 G-P4-2966-KR that it comes with a 2 X 6 pin cable 8 pin Y so the stock power should be good.

    more than 2 GB will not improve the map and it will increase the price.

    Don't get me wrong although it won't make a video full screen 4K.

  • HP ProBook 4445 s processor and graphics card upgrade

    Hello

    I need to have my CPU and graphics card upgraded to the requirements below please add link/s that will help me

    Processor
    I need to improve my processor 1.90 GHz to 4 GHz (at least 2.66 GHz). Then please add a link/s to this processor/s that I can use to upgrade my laptop to 2.66 GHz at least, or reach 4 Ghz.

    Video card
    I also need to improve my video card from the AMD Radeon HD 7640 G to a DirectX 11 with 2 GB of video ram (at least 1 GB of video ram). Please add link/s on what card video/s who reach the requirements I need.

    Thank you

    Here's the problem with that:

    AMD A6 - 4400M, Max 3,2 GHz / 2.7 - GHz Base, 1 MB of L2 cache, Dual-Core,.
    Graphic 35W: 7520G HD

    AMD - A8 4500 M, Max 2.8 GHz/1, 9-basis of GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, quadcore,.

    AMD - A4 - 4300M, 3.0 GHz maximum / 2.5 - GHz Base, 1 MB of L2 cache, double
    Core, graphic 35W: HD 7420 G

    Above are your graphics options for laptop. If yours is 1.9 ghz it cannot the A8, which is the best CPU and GPU option available. The video is part of the processor. There is just no way for you to improve the graphics capabilities of this laptop. It may seem like the A-6 is better because it works to 2.7 ghz, but there only 2 hearts: you have 4. And the 7520 graphics are lower than what you have. That's what you try to do? There is not too many computers that reach 4 ghz, not to mention a laptop.

  • Video card upgrade (p6518f)

    Hello

    You're going to need a bigger PSU and video card as quickly.

    You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet. Here is a list of the things to consider:

    1. technical characteristics
    2. the total power - important
    3. amperage 12 + v - important
    4 modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
    5. guarantee
    6 i7 and SLI ready
    7. energy efficiency
    8 cost
    9. size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths
    10. a single + 12 volt rail is a better choice.

    www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies. Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake... This Corsair CX500 should work.

    Open your PC and a few measurement in parallel with the PCI-E x 16 slot to see how long of a video card will fit. The adjacent slot on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.

    This ATI Radeon 6850 should have a lot of video card for modern games.

    ' HP ' how-to ' articles should be useful.  Install the power supply and that your PC stable first before installing the video card.

  • XPS 720, video card and sound card upgrades?

    Greetings-

    A friend gave me his old Dell XPS 720, which I updated to Win7-32.  The upgrade went fine--too easy in fact - and now I'm sorting on all other smaller issues.

    I need a recommendation for a new graphics card and a new sound card.  The only thing I use this box is to maintain a website via Adobe CS4 Dreamworks, with the other tools in the suite and surf the net.  No game, no rendering heavy, etc.

    What I want-

    -Decent color - graphics but no fan if possible.  The map in this area is now an INVIDIA GTS of the G-Force-250 - and the fan noise is terrible.  My needs are quite easy - is there a map smaller, quieter that I can put on this case in order to eliminate the a fan (which seems to be the highest fan in the Pack)?

    Sound card - open what it is as long as it fits and works with this box and Win7-32.

    Thanks for your help/advice-

    -Sean

    The integrated SigmaTel 9227 audio system should be good for your use. But any PCI sound card purchased locally would work or you could get an its PCIe x 1 card. Here's what we delivered =
    CT602 PCI Sound Blaster
    F7710 PCI Sound Blaster X - Fi
    WW202 PCI Sound Blaster X - Fi XtremeMusic

    You should check newegg for price and photos for the PCIe x 16 video cards. This link is sorted by lowest price to highest. None of them work so you have at least a 750w power supply. When you have found a video on the site map, I would look for it locally.

    And not the video card is soldered to the card. The higher has only 1 GB of video and which requires an exchange of Board of Directors and that could be a costly upgrade. If you plan to play GTA V then you need to get a gaming laptop that meets these requirements.

  • HP TouchSmart 300-1120: the video card upgrade

    I came into possession of a HP Touchsmart 300-1120. I do not use not for the games just the navigation and use to watch movies when traveling through Plex home theater.

    I've updated the CPU to an Athlon X 4 605th & maxed out the RAM 8 GB. I noticed that I can upgrade the video card using the Mobile PCI Express Module slot.  Even though I know that the GPU Radeon HD 3200 onboard can handle HD videos, he hangs out considerably. even though I have the film on the hard drive.

    So the question is, where can find one of these cards. And is there a way to upgrade the PSU?

    Thank you

    You need to search online to find a seller or a person who has one for sale. I see them on eBay for @ $35-50, 00

  • HP Pavilion H8-1017 cb: video card upgrade or get a new computer

    I plan to install a new video card and power supply to support a monitor 43 "UHD or buy a gaming computer brand new with GTX 970.   What is the best video card compatible with my computer and the motherboard to work with UHD?

    Also, would I waste my time to upgrade my current computer or saving a ton of money with great results?

    You can upgrade to a powerful video card, but there are a few things you need to know and do.

    Motherboard of your desktop came a generation before UEFI and only allows the installation of video cards that support legacy BIOS sound.  This means that you can install a video card that has inherited the BIOS support or a physical switch that allows the choice of the BIOS UEFI\Legacy.  Otherwise only video card BIOS UEFI will not be recognized under the current name of your card motherboard BIOS and the PC does not past the MESSAGE at startup, even in the BIOS.

    You will need to install a power supply (Corsair or another brand of enthiusiast) who will provide at least 400-450 watts of high quality. The PSU mus also delivered with power connectors 6\8 PCIe pins for the video card. Check the configuration required for video cards of candidate you are watching.

    Sapphire and MSI both make video cards that have a switch and they also make video cards that support the old BIOS only. It's a little more difficult to discern what MSI video card support the BIOS strives.

  • XPS 420, video card update without changing the power supply

    So I recently did some changes on my Dell XPS 420.  The processor is the same that had been originally purchased, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz, but I upgraded the RAM 6 GB and spin as a Windows 10 Insider Preview OS 64-bit on a partition with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on another partition.  I've also added a new 2 to HARD drive, a USB 3.0 PCI Express card and thinking about getting a 500 GB Samsung SSD EVO. Here's my question though, and it is a video card...

    I want to upgrade the video card, but don't know much about them.  I don't want to touch the food, and I want to just install a new video card.  I do not play video games a large part at all, but I stream videos from my PC if it matters that I've seen people suggest GTX Nvidia as well as the Sapphire HD 7770 550Ti, but I've also seen some people said these cards require greater power than my machine so I am confused.  What is a good affordable video card that would be worth upgrading for me?

    I appreciate any info that can be provided, thanks!

    The TI 750 will not harm your diet or your portfolio. The R7 250 is $99 and the 750 TI is $ 139. It is in the middle between the really cheap and good performance.

  • Alienware m17x video card upgrade

    Good day to all.

    I have computer laptop m17x and don't upgrade the video card geforce 260M on something better.

    What bee cards compatible with my hardware platform.

    P. S.

    Sorry for my bad English.

    I'd put everything you could go to this card - which could easily be $ 500 or more - at your next system rather than an update of one you have.

    The Core 2 Duo CPU you have is on the verge of being obsolete gaming-wise - it's just not worth putting that kind of money in an upgrade on a system of old.

  • The HP ENVY h8-1500z with a new video card upgrade

    Hello

    My current video card is a 1 GB of Nvidia that came with the installer and requires more power.  I want to upgrade the video card for this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131562) this map requires power and this kind of care.

    I opened my PC and it looks like the current power is 300W, but I do not see a card for a video about this card. My question is: Y at - it sort of an adapter I can use with existing PS? If I need to exchange the PS, can I use any power supply in this PC? It will be (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139050) to adapt and work? If not, what suggestions do you have?

    Thanks for the help.

    Wanted to add that I am running:

    6-core AMD FX 6120 to 3.50 Ghz

    14 GB of RAM

    64-bit OS Win Pro 8.1

    NVidia GeForce GT 620

    The graphics card, you want to install on your computer requires a minimum of 500 watts power. The Corsair CX500M that you access will work for your computer and work with your desired graphics card.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • HP 500 - a 201: the video card upgrade

    Hi, I would like to upgrade the video card in this PC HP but I think that there is a limited space.  I think like a 750ti which is the closer the physical map of the factory installed measures.  I would upgrade to a proper diet.

    Thank you

    Brad

    @Cebos, welcome to the forum.

    I believe that this EVGA GTX 750Ti should register in the area without any problem.  If you don't want this card, you can measure from the port of e/s back on the front of the case where the card will be installed to see if another card adapt.  The essence is to ensure there is enough space to provide for good air circulation.
