Looking for UPGRADE M18x GPU

Bought my m18x in May 2010 with two SLI GTX 460 M in the m18x. Tried to ask dell for the options at level, but never had a solid answer, perhaps the community forums will help.

Try to get a new nvidia GPU that will fit in this machine and be good for the next 5 years, as the double 460Ms have treated me so far. You are looking for something that can run on ultra BF4 if possible

But the main priority is just the m18x without any problems and compatible with the motherboard.

Any suggestions?

The video cards that we validated for this system and that I could recommend whether the following

NVidia GTX560M

NVidia GTX580M

AMD 6970M

AMD 6990M

You can add any other video card but I can't guarantee it will work properly.

  • Looking for upgrade my 8500 GT 640 XPS

    I guess that it's that time again when it is necessary to upgrade my GPU.  Since I'm a video card recommendation excellent last time when I upgraded my XPS 410, I thought that I ask again this large community of my 8500 video card recommendation.

    I'm looking to upgrade the video card in my XPS 8500 Vidia GT 640 stock with something more modern (e.g., 2 GB of memory).  I'm doing a moderate amount of games, so I need something that will give me a good framerate when executing a shooter like battlefield game 4 or CoD: Advanced Warfare on the spot (or Elite: dangerous on ultra if possible).  I don't have to spend a lot of money, maybe around $100?  I want something that will be easy to install and doesn't give me headaches down the road too (I don't like to mess with my bowels of PC too .)  In other words, a simple but good card for a modern game that will work very well on my XPS 8500.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Yet one time, last time for my 410 I got a great recommendation of the community, so thanks for that!   Hope for another good move once again!

    I don't have to spend a lot of money, maybe around $100?

    you didn't say what you are playing to the resolution. 1920 x 1080?

    The price level of $100, it is difficult to get a really solid card for games, and I'm not sure that you will have the games you listed to 1080 p to work really well.

    two options are an nVidia GTX 750ti or an R7 AMD 260 X, but both are a little more than $100, say around $ 110 to $ 120

    Price $150 of best options, point you could get a 660 GTX or a R7 270 X

    I think that the best price/performance ratio would be if you can find a GTX 960 on sale for about $180-185 $

    I think that these work without problem in the XPS 8500, but I searched this forum for sure.

  • Looking for upgrade

    Hello.

    I own a Lenovo u450p, and was hoping to upgrade the RAM and the graphics card.

    I was wondering if it was possible and, if so, what would be good to upgrade to? I'm looking for sufficient capacity of RAM/graphics card to the success of games like Team Fortress 2, Portal, Mass Effect, etc. on the graphics settings at LEAST medium.

    Thank you.

    I have no experience with external graphics cards, but it can be an altnerate for the upgrade solution if it is compatible and carry the necessary specifications for the games.

    If you just want to make more playable games, upgrading your RAM will not help in this case. It will add a bit of your longevity and open responsiveness for applications if you are fond of letting a lot of things, but the bottleneck is certainly the integrated video card.

    Good news is that source games do not have high demands and therefore a lower end dedicated graphics cards are generally able to read on support (even the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics card can play L4D upstairs, according to notebookcheck). It is much easier (but of course more expensive) to purchase another laptop with a better card built in. Not sure, the value on the external card, but I hope it works for you.

  • Looking for upgrade m7260n information

    Hello.  I have an old m7260n.  Looking to update everything that I can to handle some of the latest video games:

    I understand that I have my system will take care of 4 GB, but do not know how fast RAM I should get.

    I want to upgrade the processor and would like to know how to determine what CPU improvements will work with my motherboard (which I think is an Asus P5LP-, but not sure).   Also, how the decision factors in choosing a CPU.

    I definitely want to update the graphics card (currently: ATI Radion x300se, 128 MB of DDR memory).  I consider the upgrade to a dedicated graphics card, but don't know if it's possible, or how that will affect my computer when I use it for other basic things.

    I also wonder if I should get a faster hard drive (not sure how to check how fast mine is), or if any solid stare disc would work in my old computer.

    Thank you for helping me to upgrade my computer.

    -Tyler

    You need to open the side panel... If the power supply is 300 w, you don't need to replace it... Basic graphics card works perfectly...

    and yes it will be able to play games... computer lower end of absolutelly will work for general operations...

  • Looking for upgrade CC2015 with software running on Mac 2.

    I'm looking to update the CS6 Master Collection to some form of Creative Cloud 2015. I'm a small business single with two computers: a desktop computer and a laptop, so I'll need a license to use the suite on both computers. Which plan is best for me?

    You subscribe to subscription individual creative cloud. using which you can activate CC apps on 2 computers.

    If you use 2 computers only, then Normal individual plan is more than enough.

  • Recommendation for a cheapo GPU to throw in the old editing area

    Full disclosure: I did only a very little bit of research, because I like not on hardware like most of you guys here do

    Knowing full well that I take my fate in my hands, I'm looking for the best GPU that I can throw in my old HP (dual Xeon 5140 s) xw6400 and hack for some MEPS hardware Lovin '. My office (heh), would that be the GTS450 probably the best bet, since it does not require a power supply additional connection, blah blah blah. This system will be requisitioned for some just large enough SD projects that are not too heavy effect, but I want material MPE in any case for the CC, etc.

    So, will a GTS450 jive with my system, and if so, is there a particular card or an integrator that I should look for that? I'll take something with 1 GB of RAM, without worrying.

    Thanks in advance, you tech heads

    Colin.

    The GTS 450 is fully capable of MPE and your argument that the PSU can pull it off he made a mistake on this old system. Go ahead.

    The brand is irrelevant, only price/warranty.

  • Beginner looking for the best upgrade memory for Tecra 8000

    Hello - I am currently looking to upgrade the memory on my Tecra 8000 the current 96 of at least 256.

    Is it possible that I can't find info on 256 MB extensions that are compatible

    I also want to upgrade my hard drive of at least 20 Gb, but I think it will be easier

    Any advice would be much appreciated

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should contact the Service partner and ask them what a memory module is compatible with your laptop. I found that PC100 128 MB (PA3005U) is certainly usable for Tecra 8000.

    Please be careful because all modules may not be recognized by BIOS correctly.

    It is possible that 256 MB RAM PA3069U - 1 M 25 is compatible but I'm not sure about this. Pick up information by the Service partner before buy you one.

    Original title: the motherbard and cpu upgrade

    I want to install (I hope) soon new motherboard and CPU and I was looking for how to guide to reinstall vista after upgrade of the motherboard. Is it possible to get to the office without big hazzle and start reinstalling from there.

    In fact, I want to reinstall vista because I think it's much easier to try to record all programs and other settings.

    I tried to use already search funtion and it did not the asnwer I was looking for.

    I have oem (at least it says in the box) version of vista 32 bit.

    If the motherboard is exactly the same or almost exactly the same there should be no problem.  Otherwise you will want to completely reinstall Vista or even your system will contain drivers for the hardware is no longer present or missing drivers for the new hardware on the motherboard.

    "illuknisaa" wrote in the new message: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy... *

    I know how to reinstall Vista (I did this couple times) but I don't know how Vista reacts when a new motherboard is installed. I just need to reactivate vista or even will I get to the office?
