Dell XPS 9100 compatible with Nvidia GTX 980/970?

All the world either of these new cards video 980/970 series installed in a dell xps 9100? Or whether they will work with the 9100, in particular motherboard/bios original card?

I plan to upgrade my studio xps Dell 9100 (2010 I7 930 12 GB of ram, motherboard Dell 05DN3X Intel X 58 Intel ICH10R) with a new video card in replacement of the Radeon HD 5870. My choice of card is the new Nvidia GTX 970.

The GTX 970 and 980 GTX are based on the new Maxwell Nvidia cards with high specifications on page and good price. While they are not suitable for the power of the XPS 9100 (two GTX cards consume less energy than the 5870), I don't know if my original xps 9100 motherboard (with a bios updated from July 2014 on the site of dell driver) is compatible with the gtx 970. BIOS office 8700 recent Dell was not compatible/created a problem of black screen, and Dell has released a updated Bios updated for the 8700 in December 2014 that apparently works fine now with the 980/970 series. I wouldn't drop the $350 on a video card that didn't work with my 9100

I use the Dell 9100 for video editing (Sony Vegas Pro 13, Hitfilm 3, NewBlue and other programs based GL/CL) works more 3d animation with iclone (who prefer Nvidia). I could probably get another year or two out of it with a newer video card... otherwise I'll put all useful to a construction of the self.

I'd appreciate any comments on it. Maybe Chris from Dell of this forum would know that he shares the fix for dell bios enabled the 980 work with 8700.  Thanks to Chris if he answers or if he can answer my question gtx 970 for me and other 9100 owners.

Just this moment installed a MSI gtx 970 in my 3 1/2 years, xps 9100. Original motherboard. The only thing I've really updated over the years is the memory.

Processor Intel Core i7-960 @3. 2 GHz (8 MB L2 Cache)
16 GB OF RAM, DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-12800
NVIDIA GeForce (r) GTX 970 4 GB
Dell XPS 9100 desktop
Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) SP1

525 Watt POWER supply was more than enough. You must use both the point 6 and point 8 plugs not one or the other. Biggest problem was to find a second source of power. The 6 + 2 plug, but don't think that the other was there. He was and is buried in the middle of a wire harness. A sheet of plain to 6 points. Just enough.

It works like a charm. Not at all of the start-up problems

    The 690 NVIDIA is only a 'chimera' at the moment.  We'll see what happens after the rumor launched as of April 28.

    Open the Z1 HP if you have a look at available power connectors and also note the size of the power supply.  The Z800 with 875 watt POWER supply can operate according to the available power connectors.

    just a question:

    I want to buy a DELL XPS 8900. I already have a DELL U2515H screen (I never want to Miss ;-).

    My real office includes a graphics card with display port: it works very well.

    The GEFORCE NVIDIA GTX 745, which is included in the XPS8900 is not a DP.

    How to connect the screen to the XPS 8900 to run the display in Native Mode at 2560 x 1600 pix and 60 Hz (WQXGA)?

    Thanx for each tip!

    I guess it's a problem with Support Assist; I can provide more details on request.

    Happy with the purchase!

  • Fan Dell XPS PC upstairs with no start-up of the thread

    Hello

    There is a strange problem in my PC. Recently, I haven't used the PC for a few days, but when I turned it on today, could hear a fan noise noisy coming to the PC with the diagnostic lights 1, 3 and 4 illuminated and a white screen in power save. I tried to understand what happened and when I pressed on the DVI plug into the slot of the PC, the PC fan slows down (at normal speed) and the PC began to start. It happened every time you start (in this case, twice). Remedies?

    Dell XPS 420 (desktop computer with the last BIOS update)
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz

  • Pavilion p6257c-b: HP pavilion p6257 c - b is compatible with 750 GTX ti?

    Is my HP pavilion p6257 c - b compatible graphics card Zotac GTX 750 ti? If so, what would I need to do to install it. I am looking to update my graphics card worthy games, so please recommend me for my computer parts.

    Also, should I upgrade or simply create a new one?

    LegitGamer1017, welcome to the forum.

    No, the GTX 750Ti be compatible with the motherboard.  750Ti GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  The last video cards that does not need UEFI were 640 gt.

    I've built computers for games in the past, but HP has built them unless I can and they work great.  I have a HP Phoenix 860-170VR and I play all the latest series of COD on the highest settings.  I suggest you have a look at it and others built by HP.

  • External monitors Dell Inspiron 15 (7537) with Nvidia GT750M.

    I am literally pulling my hair!  I can't find specs tell me what types of resolutions and refresh of the monitor are supported.

    The laptop has only a HDMI port (no DisplayPort - I did not notice it before placing my order mid-2014) and now I'm stuck with HDMI.

    This weekend I tried hang my laptop to a 4 K TV - it made the TV - but only if the internal display was given - and, even in this case, the refresh rate was really bad... I'm only a casual viewer video - but I found the jerks of unacceptable frame rates.  This suggests strongly that the laptop is not HDMI 2.0. I know now that I must look at lower resolutions 3840 x 2160

    I want to know... If I buy a WQHD monitor and connect it to HDMI, it displays in 2560 x 1440 while also driving the internal 1080 p monitor... or what I have to go down up to 1920 x 1200?

    All this is * very * frustrating.  I hope someone can tell me what my laptop will support (to the native resolution and native refresh rate.)

    I am pleased to announce that... Fortunately for me... the post above to 1920 x 1200 being the maximum external resolution is flat.

    I read the response a few minutes after I had placed an order (after carefully checking the return policy) for a monitor Samsung WQHD (a S27D850T).  I have it plugged into my Dell Inspiron 15 7537 (with graphics GeForce GT750M and weird HDMI Intel connection as the only option for an external monitor) it ensures * BRILLIANTLY *-no configuration issues; 60 Hz refresh rate; 2560 x 1440 resolution.  It extends from my internal display.  Perfect performance, as far as I can tell!  No quality no questions at all.

    I can also confirm that my Dell Inspiron 7537 * may * lead a 4 K TV over HDMI... I tested this weekend... It is not clear if it's the fault of the TV 4 K, the Dell or a combination of both... but only, I could get 30 Hz refresh and the rendering of images in movement at UHD resolution was not acceptable - it felt 10-15 fps.  I tried 3 different sets of 4K (because I could not find all the monitors 4K!) Two does not have an image to 4 K - the third, only when I turned off the clean laptop screen.  Perhaps I might have gotten a 4K screen work... but I am very happy with my purchase WQHD.

    I can recommend the WQHD Samsung S27D850T for the Dell 15 7537 port HDMI Intel with chipset Nvidia GeForce GT750M.  I can not, however, recommend Dell on its documentation, or support.

  • Support PR CC Pro (2015) for NVIDIA GTX 980

    I'm about to upgrade equipment, which comes with GTX 980. Is - this GPU is taken in charge by the Pr CC Pro (2015)?

    While the gtx 980 is not on the official list of adobe, a lot of people here point out that works well.

  • XPS 8910, bi-ecrans, Nvidia GTX 970?

    I just got a new 8910 XPS, well. But the video card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 970) only on the card, DVI - D video output. I want to connect a second monitor, DVI - D or VGA input. There are a lot of other jacks on the rear panel, several HDMI, DP (DisplayPort). Are all the HDMI outputs and the DP for a second monitor?

    There is only a single HDMI output port on the back of the chassis, #4. #3 is the DP (DisplayPort) aboard.

    Because there is not a "Multi screen" option in the Bios. This means that if a video card is added (GeForce GTX 970), cannot use the embedded outside DP or HDMI ports for monitors.

    You must attach two monitors to the GeForce GTX 970 addition.

    The Dell OEM GeForce GTX 970 has the following video ports =
    DVI - I
    DP
    DP
    DP
    HDMI 2.0

    So if #2 monitor has only DVI and VGA ports, you will need to connect to the HDMI port on the GeForce GTX 970.

    GeForce GTX 970 DVI - I-->--> #1 monitor DVI DVI to DVI cable to
    GeForce GTX 970 out HDMI--> HDMI to DVI cable--> #2 monitor DVI in

    You can buy the HDMI cable to DVI at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc.

  • HP Z420 with Nvidia Gtx Titan

    Hello

    I considered buying a Z420, and I intend to use maps of Titan since I rendered by GPU, as well as the CAD uses and in real time. (Autocad, Revit and 3d Max). I've used a Quadro 4000 card, but it is certainly not useful for real time rendering.

    So in my case, a map of Titan is more advantageous. But today, I realized this of Nvidia Geforce series only is not supported for HP workstations. So, what should I do? Is there a way to use Titan with Z420? Should I look for another computer?

    Thanks in advance...

    GTX Titan uses the 250W peak power and NVidia said a 600W PSU enough Z420 has a 600W PSU. So unless you have something else really your Z420 (such as five 15 K disks without spin shifted upwards) - the lust for power, you should be fine.

    Personally, I have not used a Titan in a Z420 (GTX - 680 was the largest map that I installed) - once again - it looks good on paper.

    HP will not support it in terms of pilots or guarantee-, but it will take care the rest of the system.

    All that being said, a Z820 is a bit better suited to the Titan GTX...
