Dell XPS 8500 with 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 7570 - how to connect two monitors or?

Hi, I got my Dell XPS 8500 today with the 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 7570.

Before buying the office, I read online that the AMD Radeon HD 7570 supports Eyefinity.   Eyefinity is supposed to be capable of supporting 4 monitors using the HD 7570 map by the description here: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/7000/7570/Pages/radeon-7570.aspx#2

When you look at the photos of the Dell XPS 8500 online I thought that Eyefinity support was to use a display in addition to the DVI port Port.   Specifically, I thought that a monitor has been supported by DVI monitors while 4 thru two supported using an active connection to the view port using a product like the DisplayPort Accell UltraAV K087B-005 / 3 x multi-monitor DVI - D single-link adapter.

To my surprise the graphics card came with an HDMI port, not a display port and I believe that HDMI port is a connection from one to the other, and not one of many display connection.   Maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong on this point.   But if I'm not wrong then, this would imply that, at most, the Dell XPS 8500 with the AMD Radeon HD card 7570 can support up to only 2 monitors (one DVI port) and the other HDMI port instead of 4 monitors as described on the above link.

Others would agree with this statement?

Note that the Dell XPS 8500 also has a VGA connector on it but I tested it using a monitor on VGA and a monitor on the DVI connection and the computer that reported as an invalid monitor config.   Probably because the VGA and DVI connections are originally the same video display as connect two monitors to display even has no logical sense.

I have not tested the HDMI port for the second monitor again mainly because I don't have a spare HDMI cable on site at the present time.   I'll probably buy one tomorrow unless I see the comments of my post, specifying that a second monitor can be moved through the HDMI port on the AMD Radeon HD 7570 map...   I'd be surprised if that were the case (1 monitor system would be quite restrictive), but it is difficult to say with certainty, because the VGA and DVI connections at the same time have been marked by the computer as an invalid configuration...

Any thoughts on the different ways to configure multiple monitors with the XPS 8500 and the 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 7500 is appreciated.

Thank you.

Doug

If the card is not a display port is not an eyefinity card and cannot stand 3 monitors... it will be 2 monitors, no problem... I couldn't find anywhere on the site of Dell, where he says that the card was eyefinity... If you want 3 assumption of monitors you can buy a video card that supports.

  • How can I install my printer model Dell 720 on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7

    I have the software for my Dell 720 printer, but it will not install on my new Dell XPS 8500 with windows 7.  It works fine on my Dell Dimension 3000 with windows XP.  I would use this printer with my new system

    Dell is not a Windows 7 driver for this printer.  The closest thing they have is a driver for Vista 32 bit.  So your options are to (1) Download 32-bit Vista driver and try to install in compatibility mode, (2) use XP Mode if you have the professional or Enterprise version of Windows 7 Ultimate, (3) buy another printer.

    You can download the Vista 32-bit driver

  • How to connect the cables to an AMD Radeon HD 7450 video card for two monitors individual work?

    I have a HP Pavilion p6-2360eo with the video card Radeon 7450 connected to a monitor of 23xi Pavilion.

    Now, I want to add a monitor of 23xi more, but I do not understand how to connect the cables to the video card to get two logical screen (different views on each monitor)

    Supposedly this monitor can connect to the video card, you have the HDMI connection.  Assuming that the first monitor is connected via DVI, then try a HDMI cable to the second.  I got this from the description of the video card on THIS page.

    Support up to two displays at the same time in these configurations: DVI, HDMI and VGA + HDMI (using the included adapter cable)

  • Dell xps 8500 replacing GPU

    I have a dell xps 8500 and I think to upgrade my GPU of my radeon hd 7570 to a MSI GTX 670. However I've heard things about the bios does not not with some graphic cards. My bios version is Dell Inc. A09 if anyone could tell me if this GPU will work it will be very appreciated.

    You can go to this thread HERE.  Some raise the GTX 670, but nothing was ever confirmed.  For other cards like the MSI GTX 660, apparently a video bios updated was published by MSI to make it work.  He's going in all directions.

    Most likely, you need to upgrade your diet also with the GTX 670.  I not comfortable also buy a $370 video card and then another $100 for a power supply and have the things to not work.  If your upgrade for the games, a HD 7570 is obviously no card game.  Therefore, we can be happy with something else that works with your diet like the 660 GTX and have only half of the cost.  Just a thought, and there are many others who also works as the HD-7870.  My choice would be the HD 7850 for $180, especially if you don't have a monitor very high-end to match with it.  It just seems to be too many issues raised on the XPS 8500.

  • Dell XPS 8500 needs new motherboard; All recoverable parts?

    Okay, it looks like my Dell XPS 8500 which is only 2.3 years needs a new motherboard.  I was quoted $350 to fix it (90 day warranty) by Dell.  I asked Dell how much it would cost to return the warranty once I fixed it and it is $ 200 per year.  Not sure I'll go along with this.  A local technician gave me his estimate and it's $250 parts and service which includes 90 day warranty.

    Rather than take the option repair, I think to recover the coins for my next computer purchase.  My XPS 8500 has 12 GB ddr3 sdram [1, 600 mhz (2 gb x 2) + (4 x 2 GB)] and a 2 TB hard drive and the hard disk of 1 TB (from 8000 of my XPS Studio who died after 2.5 years).  All other recoverable parts here?

    All models Dell that are compatible with the latter?  8000/8500 are no longer sold.  Dell sells XPS 8900 8900 SE using DDR4 Rams.  I don't know the compatibility of the hard drive.  Dell Outlet still sells XPS 8700 expandable up to 10 windows, which uses ddr3 chips and is is compatible with the hard disk probably.

    Should not be XPS.  Actually, I prefer not to buy another XPS because I had this terrible luck with them.  I think maybe like OptiPlex business models which can have options of compatible extension of hard drive and RAM.  Anyone direct me to the configurations of these models?  Thank you.

    Some confusion here. There is none of these models as Studio XPS 8500. Amazon is the inscription incorrectly. There's a XPS 8500.
    The 8500 XPS and Vostro 470 use same motherboards =.
    XT4TM = card mother NW73C, DPK for Windows 7
    TXKR9 = card mother NW73C, DPK for Windows 8 home
    CTJCD = card mother NW73C, DPK for Windows 8 Pro

  • Dell XPS 8500 - start not at all - motherboard problems?

    I have a Dell XPS 8500 I bought in January of 2013 and of course, is now out of warranty. I have not had too many problems with the pc, but last week, I was copying some video files on the SD card in the card on the hard disk drive. My wife told me that supper was ready, so I left the system to finish copying the video files on the HARD drive and ate with my family.

    After we finished eating, I went back in the Office to discover that my computer was turned off. I tried to turn it back on and got no answer to it at all. I held the power button down and still nothing. After unplugging all devices still do not get response. I unplugged the power cord that goes into the food and green on the back of that flickered as I unplugged and plugged in so I thought I had my problem properly diagnosed as a failure of the power supply. I ordered a replacement PSU and installed today but I'm still no response from the computer when you try to start it. I have all the cords of the PSU properly plugged into the HDD and the dvd player and the connector 24 pin to the motherboard as well as the connection of 4 pins so.

    The ONLY answer I get when trying to turn on the computer is that the fan in the power supply and fan to the rear of the case against surges momentarily and return to the stop. They are not even a half of a revolution, and that's all I get.

    Any suggestions would be wonderful! I wonder if it's a motherboard problem and if so, where to find a replacement motherboard. And if not the mobo, what else it could be.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

  • Factory setting Dell XPS 8500 32 GB MSATA

    I just bought a DELL XPS 8500 desktop computer refurbished with a 2 TB HDD and a 32 GB MSATA SSD, but I am not sure that hard drives have been configured correctly at the factory.  In the BIOS, the computer is configured as AHCI.  The machine came with Windows 8, which is installed on the 2 TB drive (drive C, entitled OS) and nothing is on the 32 GB disk (K drive, named DATAPART1). the SSD is empty showing 29.7 GB of available space.  The machine is in its State from the factory with nothing else installed.

    Caching is 32 GB SSD configured correctly?

    I tried to looked into technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology, but the interface is not installed on the computer.  If I try to install the latest version of the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver either Dell XPS8500 and site the site of Intel, in both cases, I get a warning that the AHCI driver that will be installed is older than what I currently have installed with the option to install the driver or not install the driver.  If I do not install the driver, the installation stops without having to install anything.  If I do not install the driver, Intel Smart Response Technology is installed, but upon restarting, Windows will not start and I have to restore the computer to its original state.  I tried to change BIOS to use RAID functions and then tried to install it again, but I get a similar warning this time, indicating that the RAID driver that will be installed is older than what I have installed. I didn't want to continue the installation after that I got this RAID warning from my experience when I had put AHCI in place.  I'm for revenue by to AHCI as was the factory default.

    Also, I have two supplementary questions:

    I longingly the SSD to the cache, or booting the operating system, so I looked in install Windows 8 on the SSD, I disconnected the 2 TB drive and started the machine, but I couldn't get the Windows 8 recovery disk provided by Dell to run when the 2 TB drive was not present.  Is it because I'm using a recovery disc and not a true disk of Windows 8, or is this a limitation of the system?

    I noticed that I was not provided with a sticker with my key of Windows 8. I know how to determine the key and have already done.  I was curious if this is correct, or if Dell just a mistake and does not give me the key?

    Hi ekeown,

    I appreciate your efforts to set up the mSATA SSD. You will need to format the SSD drive by following the steps I provided in the following post:
    http://Dell.to/YHvNS8

    You will need to download and install the application of TSRI from our site to download drivers, change the SATA operation setting in the BIOS RAID and activate the acceleration.

    2 TB hard drive contains the recovery partition that accesses the recovery disk to restore the system to factory settings and therefore the option could be used without the drive.

    Product key of Windows 8 is stored in the BIOS of the motherboard and it should be read automatically by Windows Setup.

    Please let me know if you need more assistance.

  • Dell XPS 8500 PSU

    -Very well, so I have a Dell XPS 8500 and I wannt update my GPU. I just need to upgrade from my diet. So, I have a few questions.

    A. What are the dimensions of the PSU that comes with it.

    According to this site: http://www.911forpcs.com/xps-8500.html

    they are 6.00 "X 3.25" X 5.5 "(WxHxD). I want to verify that this is true.

    B. I was looking for a 750w PSU, I know I won't need that much, but I would like to have a few extra. So my other question can someone suggest me a PSU that adapts to the dimension XPS 8500 PSU.

    I have 2 that caught my attention, but I'm not sure if the dimensions space correctly 100%.

    EVGA SuperNOVA 750

    I guess that the EVGA does not because of the length is too long.

    Thermaltake SMART series

    Well I don't check the dimensions of the PSU original because I seem to have lost my tape measure instrument nor do I have a rule for the moment autour, but I was able to get this food to fit well.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817153174

    Enough length to fit well, not too close at the height of the motherboard wise and wise length fits well too. Have the ziptied cords additional and nestled under my CD player better than I can.

    I'll post in here and I'll change my OP with the dimensions of the PSU original when I find my tape measure instrument or get a ruler.

  • Dell XPS 8500 - memory upgrade problems

    I bought a Dell XPS 8500 nine a couple of years.  It came with 8 GB of memory (2-4 GB DDR 3 1600).  Recently, I picked up two sticks of 8 GB, DDR-3 new, 1600.  In total, this should give me 24 GB of memory.

    Currently, housing 1 and 3 are using 4 GB sticks and slot 4 has a key of 8 GB.  If I try to stick the other stick in slot 2, the system does not start.  I assumed it was because a bad stick, so I went back to the store and I replaced it, but the problem persists.  I can get a total of 16 GB, which is recognized in the system.  According to Dell, and Crucial, this system should support up to 32 GB.

    This system only supports the memory to some total amounts, as the 16/08/32?  I checked my BIOS is updated as well.

    I'd appreciate any comments on it.  Thank you!

    If you consult the technical data sheet, the only supported RAM configs are: 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 32 GB.

    Read this.

    EDIT: And modules are best installed in pairs, so 2 x 4 GB + 1x8GB is not an optimal config.

  • Has no updated BIOS - Dell XPS 8500

    I went to the product page Dell for my computer - Dell XPS 8500 and ran the scan to check the updates.  3 updates, one of them for the BIOS.  I ran the update and launched the update of the BIOS.  To halfway through she seemed to have hung up and my machine froze.  I left for an hour, came back and no still no luck.

    So I rebooted the machine, and of course now it does not start upward.  I have power and can hear the fan but no lights on the box and no input screen.

    Looking in the manual and on this forum, I tried to reset the BIOS jumpers and remove the CMOS battery.  When I rebooted I saw lights on the box this time, but it stops after 30 seconds and now back to the same problem.

    From what I've read on this forum I'm SOL unless I have buy a new motherboard.

    Just thought I would check to see if anyone has any other suggestions.  If not, where can I get a new motherboard for this?  The product page for my model it does not list as an option...

    Thanks for your help!

    Jason

    When your warranty has expired? If it has expired less than 6 months ago, you pourriez able to get Dell to solve this problem, assuming they can get the Board of Directors. They had a policy to replace a Board - only once - if she does not have a Dell BIOS update within 6 months after the end of the warranty. I don't know if this policy still exists.

    Those are all different revisions of the same motherboard. I don't know what the differences are. They could be as simple as a different provider for one of the components on the card all the way to a change in the circuit layout.

    Maybe Dell spare parts can talk you about the differences among the 3 or at least tell you which is the most recent revision, even if they do not have boards the...?

    All three supports H77 chipset which is a key issue.

    Look at your motherboard for the thumbnail see what version you have now. If you don't know the specific differences, you can get one that is the same version, assuming that it is one of the possible choices.

    You should look elsewhere if the Impact is not the revision you want and/or for price comparisons. And always ask if the Board is new, used, refurbished and warranty.
