NVidia Geforce GTX 960 in XPS 8300

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card Radeon HD 6450 in my XPS 8300 a GTX 960 (specifically, the edition of Strix ASUS) and I have a few questions:

He enters the case? (dimensions of the card: 21.52 x 12.12 x4.09 centimeters)

Will it work with the motherboard? (the card is pcie 3.0)

It will work with food? (460w power supply card 'up to 150W additional 6-pin PCIe consumption)

Sorry if I look like a noob but this is my first time upgrading a platform.

Thank you!

The graphics card:

www.Asus.com/.../

The stock answer from Dell, it's that they tested only a handful of older cards.

The reality is that many have done on an 8300. Search this forum and see what worked.

Insofar as the PSU, yes the stock PSU THAT will work with a GTX 960. It has a PCI power with two cable six pins on the connectors. If the specific card you choose has a connector 8 pins, most of the cards equipped with a 8 pin adapter 6.

I'm not 100% on the supply POWER 8300 has two six pin PCI connector.  Best to open the case and look. I thought the 8500, a member of the family was when I wrote this.

But, how old is your system, and how much time it runs a day that it might be time to consider a new power supply. If so, search the forums for what everyone puts in their 8300, 8700 or 8900 again. They are in the same case and best I can tell essentially the same power supply.

Another advantage of upgrading the PSU will be slightly more efficient and quieter.

I upgraded to Seasonic X - 650 s of my 8700 s two and have the OEM in a box as a spare for the members of the family.

So, while I'm spending your money, you might consider a GTX 970. Prices are down because the next generation of cards is almost here. If you're game, you can consider a little more power under the hood of the GPU.

  • Alienware X 51 RT2 Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 video card upgrade

    Hello

    I have the Alienware X 51 RT2 with 330 Watt power supply and 8 GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600 MHz.
    Currently, I have Nvidia GeForce 760 with 1. 5 G GDDR5 accompanying my Alienware X 51 RT2.

    So, I want to upgrade my GPU GTX 960 (4 GB) if possible if not then of 2GB.

    I don't know if this will work and works perfectly with my office:
    PNY GeForce GTX XLR8 960 4 GB graphics VCGGTX9604XPB

    Need of your recommendation. This is a good option, or there is a better option?

    Thank you in advance.

    Because Alienware has not tested or it has given approval. The same happened with the R1 GTX 670 and X 51. The GTX 670 ends up being a GPU supported for the X 51 R2 after testing. In theory, even a GTX 680 could work at the X 51, but you need a little powerful processor (like an i3 or a processor of T).

    PNY has a GTX 970 you can use. As long as it looks like the PNY GTX 970, you good to go. First and foremost, I suggest you look at the sons of the X 51 + GTX 970 before making a decision. Not only those who have proven it works, but those warning as well. Do this first before answer please.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro does support the rendered assisted GPU on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 M?

    I am planing on buying a laptop Asus Rog G551VW-Fl052T containing an NVIDIA GeForce 960 M GTX and video editing with it using first pro and the gpu to help rendered. After searching trough the requirements here I couldn't find it. Then I saw this video on a similar laptop computer with a gpu are not not in the requirements works very well with gpu assisted rendering. Now I don't know if it works or not?

    I expect an answer, thank you!

    They do not have a list within the PrPro of video cards 'supported' as they did... so... your job is to make sure that the video card in use is at least to the standards. IF the map these standards... very well. Someone asked why PrPro has not choose to use its old GPU... that had only 512 MB of vRAM. He used this card with previous versions of PrPro, thought that it should always work. Nope... the minimum usable is now 1 GB of vRAM. It. you're fine... the list gives a choice of 2/4 GB of vRAM.

    In addition, for a cut card from nVidia, something above 1000 hearts CUDA is as important. This is a problem with the map you speak... support nVidia it lists to 640 carrots. It is quite low.

    I suggest you check during the Hardware forum... There are a lot of discussions on laptops as well as desktop computers.

    I would like to know if I could adapt an Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti graphics (2 GB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0) without any problem? Or is there a better option?

    The current map graphic is a GeForce GTS 240, that it came with.

    I searched the internet to find out that if that would be ok, but became confused if the power supply is sufficient, the appearance of it bed 350w max power. I can't find some people say no and Yes.

    My computer knowledge is Basic.

    Thanks for any help.

    You're better than replace the power supply Dell with a retail food more high wattage. Then the video card will be fine. Read your Manual for instructions.

  • HP Pavilion h8-1132sc: Geforce GTX 960 works do not with h8-1132sc model? (BIOS?)

    Hey.

    I just bought a new graphics card (Geforce GTX 960) for my computer. After replacing my old and my pc startup, I'm stuck at the blue HP screen, with 1 beep and then 3 beeps and nothing happens.

    I can google myself to, many people speak the BIOS (I upgraded to 7.12), but it still does not...

    Anyone?

    Taxbo, welcome to the forum.

    Your problem is, the 960 GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  There is no way to upgrade the BIOS in the UEFI.  The last video cards that does not need UEFI are the GT of 640.

  • Intermittent outages Desktop HP Pavilion p6510f - 25 Antec 430 WATT power & NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650

    After installing a video card and a new PSU (Antec 25 430 WATT power & NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650), my system has become unstable.  It worked fine for the first 3-4 hours, then had a BSOD (blue screen of death) with kernel_data_inpage_error 0000007 a and later a 000000F4 of critical failure of the process.  I did all the tests mentioned on this page but also removed and replaced the cmos battery:

    * 1137.html http://www.faultwire.com/solutions-fatal_error/kernel-Data-InPage-Error-0x0000007A-

    All the tests passed and no problems have been found, and yet the system still does not work after 3-4 hours of use.

    So, I removed from my system and restored to its original settings.  He seems to be back to normal now (but we'll see how long).

    This experience has demoralized me.  This is because I heard other people having difficulties trying to upgrade their systems.  Looks like he has about a 50% success rate, unless you know what works from past experiences.  I think that the only way to get a system that now has good graphics is a well tested game box (PS3, XBOX or Wii).  Are there any recommended or possibly well tested configurations for this type of system that could give me the quality of a GEFORCE GTX 650 without result in a blue screen or instability for my computer?

    Because this computer comes with ATI and AMD parts, I guess that maybe to get an ATI or AMD graphics card would work?  Whatever the graphics card, the 250W power that comes with this system would probably need to be replaced.  Are there any power supplys that recommend or possibly tested?

    I realize there are a few questions in this post, but I have a more.  Is there any motherboard of analytical tools to enusre that nothing went wrong with the motherboard?  When the blue screens are produced that it seemed to make strange noises from the drive as he stole it and after the reboot it would sometimes fail to recognize the existence of the hard drive as well.  Given that all the hard drive passed (I also ran SeaTools), which leads me to believe that power is great, but I fear now that if I upgrade the power it will only cause more problems.

    A paying, customer

    Zintage

    The machine was only 2 years old.  It of a shame that it worked so well for so long and then brought by a poor diet.  It is a 750 GB Seagate Barracuda hard drive.

    I went back to the power supply and the video card, cut my losses and buy a 1 TB drive.  I cloned the old disk (on fortunately he was still working) and left on for more than 24 hours.  The system is now on his feet and works as it should.  Who will be last and only attempt to upgrade.

  • Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti may need BIOS update.

    I am trying to install a card grafics of nvidia GeForce GTX 550 it on my Compaq Presario desktop computer.
    Model SR5115NL product number GN729AA-ABH equipped Windows Vista 32.

    The message I get from the Device Manager is:
    "This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31). »

    It may have something to do with the port of Intel(r) 945 G/GZ/GC/P/PL PCI Express Root - 2771 which has also a problem
    "Your computer's system firmware includes enough information to properly configure and use this device.
    To use this device, contact the manufacturer to obtain a firmware or an update of the BIOS of your computer. (Code 35) »

    I downloaded the latest drivers from NVIDIA and even install them manually.
    Next, I visited the site of HP and used the tool updated to update the drivers and BIOS, but so far zero.

    What should do?

    Success in the end.

    Use a PNY program to check the graphics card, it was concluded that the material was OK.

    So it was very probably the Device Manager or the operating system, which have been unable to detect the graphics card properly and read its hardware ID.

    After reinstalling Windows Vista, PCI-e by selecting view adapter in the Bios setup, all went well.
    The card has been recognized, the driver has been installed and everything works as it should.

  • NVIDIA Geforce GTX 770 on a Dell Inspiron years 620

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Dell Inspiron of the 620 years and my question is this: can I put a Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 in my PC?

    Thank you.

    You had already posted the R9 280 X and I said that these cards full size do not fit in the 620 years.  The best card you can get for this system is the low profile Sapphire HD 7750 shown here if you can still find available.  If you are looking for a high-end gaming card, you will need to buy a new computer, because high-end gaming cards simply do not match your case.  If you want cards like the GTX 770 or R9 280 X, I suggest you build your own computer.
