GeForce GTX 970/980 on XPS 8700

Hello, I have XPS 8700, which came with OEM GTX 745. I think it passes to the Geforce GTX 970 or 980. These word on 8700 XPS video cards?

I am particularly concerned, because system recommended for 970 power is 500 W to nVidia's specifications, total power of XPS8700 is 460 w. Has anyone installed GTX 970 or 980 on 8700 XPS?

Hey Ryocchin,

The GTX970 or the GTX980 will work in terms of being able to connect through PCI-express port.  Where you might encounter a problem is with the physical size of the map.  I know that some 970 models can be 12 inches, I guess the 980 years can grow according to the solutions of cooling for these exotic cards.

The other piece of the puzzle is to replace the power supply.  A 460W pourrait be authorized as a basis of suppliers GPU their system requirements on the assumptions made about the power draw of the entire system & always shoot a bit on the high side.  But if your computer is a few years old is probably not turn off 460 watts.  So I recommend a new power supply.  EVGA, Corsair, XFXm and Antec have all been good for me over the years.  If you want to simulate a modular PSU that you'll save tangles of cables.

So those are the two big things to look for: physical space for the graphics card (although I'm sure that a XPS8700 will hold a 970 without problem a lot) and a new power supply.

The Dell service manual is here if you want to get an idea of what it looks like to replace components:

I hope this helps!  Let us know what other questions you might have.

    Help me please!

    HP motherboards support even msi graphics cards?

    If this is not the case, what companies do support?

    Hello

    Your PC was shipped only with a version 7 of HP BIOS so the NVIDIA 970 isn't going to work. There is no provision in a BIOS version 7 to deactivate or activate the secure boot or activate the UEFI.  You would see these selections on the Security tab in the BIOS if there is this selection.

    Try one of these models NVIDIA GTX 660.  You only need a power supply of 450 watts.

    GPU-GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 for Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2015)? Yes or no?!

    Hello. I would buy GIGABYTE GPU GeForce GTX 970 4 GB but I can't find the map on the website of Adobe system requirements. What GPU will work for Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2015)? Is activated GPU acceleration? Thanks a lot for your reply and advice in advance. Martin

    They tend to cards list itself more, as they did... so they list the requirements for cards that work with the programs. Who are a minimum of 1 GB of vRAM and a few other things. As the production of internal software of the card, which is like a '3.0' or whatever and all 900-series cards are way beyond that... so with a 4 GB of vRAM card, the other issue is the number of cores CUDA has?

    Current recommendations are to stay above 1 000 CUDA cores... .and most 970, I've seen are listed with hearts CUDA along 1600... so it should be good. I myself use a 970 GTX w4GB vRAM. Now... a good GPU does not in itself and make an editing machine who shouts, as only certain things go by the GPU in PrPro in any case. A bad can certainly slow things, however.

  • XPS 8500, GeForce GTX 970, power supply upgrades

    Alright Hey guys, so I did a little research, talked to a few friends and others and came to the conclusion that the upgrade of my gpu will be a good call! in any case after talking to a few people and a few computer experts I have been proposed to upgrade my gpu for a gtx 970 which I think will be great! The other question that I fell or not was the power supply will be able to handle this kind of upgrade. So after through suggestions from some other people and see what others who have improved their xps 8500 I suggested me to go with the power of 750W EVGA supernova 750 B 1 did supply (PSU) (110-B1-0750-VR) the reason behind this was expressly that he was quite a bit smaller in length to the tern I would be able to ride in the tour and that's what other people have used when starting to level of their xps 8500. Anyway sorry this is long but I assure you it is a good idea, if everything fits correctly and any other thank you GENERALS!

    EVGA is a brand, and they have power supplies are built by different manufacturers.

    the key is the letters B1 and G1, G2 or GS

    B1/G1 are built by the FSP (OK, but not great)

    Seasonic GS. (but not the best that Seasonic can build)

    Superflower G2 (and it's getting good reviews.

    the best is the G2.

    The G2 will be good, but be very tight.

    Keep in mind that you need not 750W to add a GTX 970. 550 W of the kind of clean energy is ample. 650w is also good, but I would highly recommend a high quality PSU, and I do not include the B1 or G1 in this category.

    The 8500 and the 8700 are PSU even better I can tell and there are several described in this thread.

  • P6769 UK: card Geforce GTX 970 of GTX 550ti graphics upgrade

    My husband bought a HP PC, because I work for HP.  The Geforce GTX550ti card worked perfectly on the P6769 UK PC running Windows 7; He bought the new card GTX 970 but couldn't make it work with Windows 7, so decided to put the old card back in and install Windows 10 to see if that would solve the problem, which was not. The old card works well running Windows 10 but not the GTX970. Despite extensive research and talk to the 'experts' that he has not yet found a solution - he has a terminal illness, so I would really appreciate help from someone in the forum to help him to enjoy what should be the great graphics for the short time he has left. Please respond to this message and personal email address [personal information deleted] If you can help.

    @Susan_HP

    The NVIDIA GTX 970 will not work on your PC. Video in graphics card BIOS and the BIOS is your PC are not compatible.

    I suggest that you are looking for an old graphics like the NVIDIA GTX 660. I've used both the TI 550 and 660 and the 660 is a far superior graphics card.

    Thanks for posting on the forum.

  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4 GB

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 4 970 go is compatible with Premiere Pro?

    Well Yes, even if it is not on the list, it adapts to the minimum requirements. 1 GB of vram.

  • Conclusion on the compatibility of GTX 970/980?

    I read so many different opinions that I'm now completely confused. I would like to know if it was definitively concluded weather 970 GTX has problems of compatibility with the Adobe Suite. It seems that it is at least NOT supported for After Effects ray tracing rendering engine, but it becomes obsolete anyway. I would like to know if there are PROBLEMS with rendering, playback or export into After Effects or Premiere Pro when you use the 970? Or, if the video card is fully used by the Adobe software? (Excluding Ray tracing)

    UPDATE: I've read that people are successful with the GTX 970 and first pro, but many people are struggling to allow it. Could someone possibly provide instructions?

    Then, you shouldn't have to do something to make it work with first for the acceleration of the EMT.  It will be just plug and play.

  • A GTX 750 works with XPS 8700?

    I want to buy one, but I don't know much about it... Can someone help me? My actual video card is a GT 635.

    The list that Jennifer-K / Dell wrote is what Dell comes with and tested.

    Update BIOS A06 and all work with BIOS A10 and cards GTX 7xx and more the 9xx GTX cards work.

    Power supply Upgrade is becoming a factor with higher end cards. A lot of debate on when it's necessary but a GTX 750 or 750ti or 950 will work for sure with the stock power supply, and a GTX 960 should also.

  • Laptop ASUS ROG with Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 m

    Hello!

    This laptop would agree with After Effects, Photoshop, and first again?

    It has a processor i7-4710mq

    8 GB RAM

    I intend to move the RAM to 32 GB and add an SDD 510-512.

    Thanx.

    It's a great unit.  The first thing I would do is put in a Samsung 850 Pro drive and clone the OS and Applications for the SSD and exchange it with the hard drive and then because it has two slits through all of the 32 GB memory...  If you want to help with these two options to update let me know, it is very simple

    The EVGA FTW because of the clock and higher memory speeds. This suggests higher quality components.

  • 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.

    No, the length of the card is 15.9 ".  Should be a full case large so he can adapt.

  • HO w do activate the acceleration GPUS for GTX 970 with CS6?

    Hello

    Today, I did a fresh install of prem pro CS6, but it doesn't appear to detect the card GTX 970 I installed last month because it is showing 'software only' in the area of reading in the project settings.  I was running CS5.03 before and after the addition of the type of card in the txt cuda_supported_cards file, it ran very well. (still does)

    Ive changed the same text file in CS6, but it will be only in software mode playback only. I restarted prem and the system but still the same.

    Any ideas? Ive installed the latest Nvidia driver also last week. With CS5.03 still on the system cause problems? (I still have the card Matrox RTx.2 installed also for CS5.03) which is a problem?

    System: win 7 64 bit. 28 GB of RAM; Xeon 2 x 2.66; First pro CS6. Card MSI Geforce GTX 970 (running in standard mode)

    Thank you very much

    Hi Ann

    I tried your suggestion, but option was always grayed out.

    However, I saw in another post, a suggestion to delete the cards taken in charge of cuda in any txt file so I tried it and it now works perfectly!
