My Dell XPS 630i cannot manage a 960 GTX GPU?

Hi, I've been a fan for a long time in this forum, it has helped me MANY times! -I hope that it can help with this problem. I have a Dell XPS 630i, and I would like to upgrade the graphics card for a GTX 960. -Can the system handle it? Is it compatible?

My system:
Dell 630i XPX
Win 7 Pro
4 GB OF RAM
Stock power supply 750W
SATA 500 GB hd
two 8800 GT SLI vid cards
1.0.12 BIOS that is installed on the PC.

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

P.S. I know that there is a new version of BIOS on the Dell Web site for this (1.0.13), system but before the upgrade, I would like to know if this installation is possible even first (never updated the BIOS before and no sense to do if not compatible). Thank you.

I just did this, Dell xps 630i 2.4 ghz x 4 8 GB ram. installed the evga gtx 960 only problem is this card takes a pcie 8 pins. the seller has provided adapper taking two 6-pin pCI to a 8 pins. works very well...

  • CrossfireX, ATI Radeon HD 3870 + XPS 630i Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a Dell XPS 630i with (2) ATI Radeon 3870 HDs in CrossfireX configuration (by default when bought). It originally shipped with Vista 32 bit and worked very well under all future versions of updated drivers and catalyst and catalyst.

    I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on a separate partition, and that's where the trouble starts. Windows 7 recognizes both of my cards under Device Manager, however during the installation of the latest catalyst suite and drivers (9.1); It does not recognize that there is a CrossfireX configuration and therefore won't give me CrossfireX option in the menu drop-down graphics (in advanced view). Under information, it shows that one of my cards is the main Board (which is my monitor is attached to) and the other (secondary) is set to disabled.

    I read a little about these cards, as well as the ATI that Dell uses a tweak of specific motherboard (and thus a specific driver) cards to make these cards work in crossfire on a so-called nVidia motherboard, as I understand it. However, I have no idea about the validity of this claim.

    My question is: what exactly should I do to activate my card secondary catalyst so that the CrossfireX option will appear in the drop-down list in the view advanced in Windows 7 64 bit?

    I am ready to provide any other information if it will help find a solution to this problem.

    Thanks in advance for any information submitted.

    I solved this problem yesterday. You need to download the original video drivers on the site of Dell XPS 630i section and install them. This measure of Crossfire on the cards, you can then uninstall the old drivers and use a program like Driver Sweeper to remove all the remains of drivers. Then install the latest version of the suite Catalyst and after restarting it should recognize your Crossfire configuration.

    Kind regards.

  • Dell XPS 8700 - Recommended 500W PSU +? (for GTX 970)

    Hi I have a dell xps 8700 currently equipped with a GTX 745, I want to upgrade to a GTX 970.

    I know that this has been a big problem in the past, but I just want to check a few things: is - it works even in the first place? Replace the power supply and update the BIOS to a10? I'm hoping to get a definitive right or close enough answer to the question of whether it works or not, especially since he was a few months after the last major discussion forums.

    And the main question, which is a recommended PSU is going well replace my current 460W one?

    CORSAIR CS750M works in every Dell I have ever installed in it.

    No power problem.  You may need to remove the optical drive so that you can get the old and the new, because it's a very tight fit.

    Once in the optical drive can back up.

    550W is too small.  Generic 550W power supply is ACE is NOT GOOD as the Dell 305 w PSU.

    The EPS12V 2.92 specification guarantees 170w combined on the 5V / 3.3V rails and 20W on the 5VSB and 45 amps on a single 12V rail.

    Note on the label for the Dell they provide 20W on the 5VSB.

    That's why I recommend an EPS12v Corsair CS750M

    You need a certified Power Supply EPS12V 2.92

    Supply Dell 20-25W + 5VSB and most of the cheapo units have 10W or less.   Dell Supply guaranteed 130 to 180W on 3.3v / 5v rail and other are not.

    Minimum recommended unit is CORSAIR CS750M.

  • 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.

    http://PUU.sh/cmhy7/dfc97550e0.PNG

    http://PUU.sh/cmhKg/9758c4f972.PNG

    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.

  • Looking to update the graphics card in my Dell XPS 8900 EVGA GeForce GTX 960.

    I have a Dell XPS 8900 Special Edition that I bought a few months ago. I want to upgrade the OEM GeForce 745 of GTX that it came with an EVGA GTX 960.

    I have the Dell XPS 8900 (processor i7 - 6700 k), 32 GB of memory, 2 TB HDD + SSD of 32 GB m2, monitor cache Dell UP2516D and Windows 10 Pro. I'll add a second monitor Dell UP2516D soon and later add an SSD and move the OS and applications on.

    My needs are not at stake. I mainly business applications (MS-Office, including access and project), finance and investment, and a lot of photo and video editing.  Photo editing software uses the GPU if I update.

    EVGA has suggested either of the following, based on what would be good:

    http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-1961-KR

    http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-3963-KR

    These cards are almost identical except;

    #1 is long of 6.8 ", has 1 BIOS, 1 fan and use 128 watts for $160

    #2 is 10.1 "long, has 2 BIOS, 2 fans and consume 160 watts for $170

    I thought I would replace the graphics card myself, but once I opened the folder, I was wondering if the two cards will even fit.  I saw that other people have swapped their graphics card, so it must be possible.

    When I look in my case, the existing graphics card is a single location.  These two cards are double slot.  In addition, it seems that there are a few transistors just next to the existing card.  When you install a card double slot, the new map is just overlap the transistors under?

    Finally, in view of these two cards and the XPS 8900 case, is it possible to put the card in?  Is it worth the extra $ 10 earn an extra BIOS and fan, to the detriment of one more card of time and 12 watts?

    Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Dual cards fit without any problem. Many have improved their 8900 XPS and 8700 with cards that need two slots of width.

    I prefer the models dual fan as they run cooler. They have a bigger heat sink and with relatively low heat from GTX 960, some are silent at idle because the fans do not work.

    For example, MSI GTX 970 son fan only above a certain temp that only happens every game. Maybe the EVGA card did the same thing. It is nice to have a quiet system at idle.

    Regarding the adjustment, the MSI GTX 970 games 4 G card Dimensions are (mm) 140 x 277 x 35. Length and height are tight but it fits without cutting.

    In addition, as noted speedstep you run SATA cables under the card. I replaced the SATA cables with longer cables, so they route toward the front of the box, then under the graphics card and upward.

    This thread has many cards different people have added. (the link is on page 26) and about the halfway point is my son with the MSI GTX 970 system, which (I think) is slightly larger that the EVGA 960 you listed.  It also shows the case mod to add a front fan.

  • What GTX 960 should I use to upgrade my Dell XPS 8900

    I recently purchased the following Dell 8900

    X 8900-3756BLK Dell XPS desktop (6th generation Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 2 TB HARD + SSD of 32 GB drive) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 with 4 GB DDR3

    I would like to replace the graphics card (I flight sim a lot) with a GTX 960 4 GB of DDR5 memory card, either myself or have a computer repair place do it.

    What are specific cards would be easier to install in my machine - if I get 960 GTX, I see all sorts of cards of different lengths, 1 and 2 fans, etc.

    I want to buy the next card, if it must be installed easily...

    Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4 GB GDDR5 PCiE graphics cards GV-N960OC-4GD

    A new graphics card would be difficult to install myself?   What is involved?

    Thank you

    Steve

    The 8900 XPS and 8700 share the same case so if you look in this thread, you will see the cards that match and cut cards requiring a certain case.

    en.Community.Dell.com/.../19611037

    I can personally attest to the MSI GTX 970 games 4 GB fits so check the size (length and height) and less it should fit without a problem.

    If you can wait a few weeks or perhaps a month, the GTX 1080 seems to be a surprising card to the prize draw and power. It's going to be a little more expensive, but much more capable.

    The installation is easy. search for youtube videos and you should find one.

    Edit: and you can sell your GTX 745 on ebay and recoup some of the cost.

  • Del XPS 13 no audio device

    Hello, I have a Dell XPS 13 and today it detects no audio.

    The "speaker" icon appears with a red x.

    And in the audio devices and devices Records, it shows that it is not any kind of device.

    Also in the control panel > devices shows that it cannot load the driver "Intel high Definition Audio.

    I've already updated the update dell drivers drivers page www.dell.com/.../drivers

    My mother has the same exact specifications and had the same problem since the last update of Windows. We've tried everything, download the drivers with Dell system detects, manually get the drivers from Realtek, nothing helps.

    We also had the "Intel High Definition Audio" in the device under 'Other devices' Manager as OP.

    What I tried, and surprisingly, what worked for me is as follows:

    1. right click on the Intel High Definition Audio device.

    2. Select "update driver software... »

    3. browse my computer...

    4. just choose from a list...

    5. something like 'Show all manufacturers' (top option in the list, can't exactly remember what she said and I can't do this again now).

    6. then, in the list on the left, select Realtek

    7. Select Manager Realtek HD Audio on the right (the version of January 2016) and install it.

    8. in the installation, you should already see the volume with the red cross icon, changing to normal volume icon :-)

  • Activate the touch screen capabilities fresh Windows 8.1 Install - Dell XPS 15 9530

    So, I had one that I puzzled. I just got a new Dell computer yesterday and as I did the last 10 + years, I install a copy fresh retail because, like most people, hate dealing with their additional software and prefer a clean install, so I don't just not deal with uninstallation, etc.. It turns out that that may have been a bad idea. After that the installation has been made, touch no longer works on the screen. I installed the drivers from the Dell site without success. The Device Manager has no missing material and all windows updates are up-to-date. Intel recognition system stylus and touchscreen capability there. I also checked the settings Pen and Touch on the contact tab and everything seems to be OK (everything I compare these parameters on is a Dell coming Pro 8, but they are the same). My suspicion and I might be away on this, is that I use a copy rather than the OEM of Windows 8.1 copy retail. I got tired of a Pro and a regular retail (Yes, two legal copies) and none worked. I don't know that new computers have the key embedded in the uefi (bios). I tried to install with or without the embedded key substitution. But it's the only thing I can think of and I hope you guys had a few ideas or someone else has had this problem and can help me to solve the problems. Model: Dell XPS 15 9530 with QHD touchscreen monitor +. Update: I discarded retail vs oem fresh installs. I tried an installation using backup/restore of Dell disks. Same deal. It is to be some sort of setting or driver who is not on their site.

    I cannot yet understand what has gone wrong, but Dell pulled out and swapped the screen out and it works perfectly. I swear it worked out of the box, so I have no idea how the material do not so fast, but the good news is that it is fixed!
