Replacement of a Dimension 4600 graphics card

Hi all, posted about this before. Modernised at the origin of a Geforce 5200 to a 7950GT AGP. It worked very well and perfectly played out 1080 p h.264 content. However, the fan had failed then it overheats very quickly and there not also support the acceleration hardware flash (didn't know at the time) so Youtube still stuttered HD videos.

I'm back card seller on Ebay for a refund. I have my eye on a Radeon HD 4670 ATM that supports hardware acceleration of flash. Still looking around for other 4600 users who have this card and find this slightly disturbing thread where his PC had no display and the 'expert' responded saying: DDR3 memory cards are not supported. This does not seem right for me as a card VRAM has nothing to do with the RAM System.

I wanted to just make sure I'm not about to buy something that does not work in my system.

Thank you

Andrew

this makes reference to a review on newegg for Sapphire HD 3850 and Dimension 4600.  Review can be pulled up from newegg in looking for Sapphire HD 3850 comments "EarthWatts '.

Guests looking for the HIS HD 4670 on newegg for "4600" concludes several users of the map with the Dimension 4600.  Ditto for Sapphire HD 3850 - search returns a lot of comments using a Dimension 4600.

    Best regards, John

    With an older system like the 3000, you will only be able to use the old PCI interface for a video card.  These cards are more expensive and there is no reason to spend too much on an upgrade when dealing with older systems like that. Popular cards have been the 6200 Nvidia 8400 GS or the best 9400 GT.  Do not forget only the PCI interface.  No AGP or PCI Express.

    I'm not sure what your goal is the upgrade, but don't expect too much.  I know that people have upgraded to these cards to play games like the Sims.  Your system is just old with old parties slow and he can't move much faster with a video card.  You have 3 PCI slots on the motherboard.  Put the card into the top slot of most and move all other cards down lower if installed.  You should probably disable your chart integrated through your device manager before installing a video card for it to work and make sure that the first video is correct in the bios.

  • Absolutely the best possible upgrade for a Dell Dimension C521 graphics card?

    I've been upgraded to a Dell Dimension C521, that I use as a general computer and play games.

    I know that he will never play in recent games, although with the x 1300 pro that was in it when I got it I have successfully played 2 games or 3 years and more. Runs of Prince of Persia: the forgotten sands, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Darksiders without any problem (all parameters lowish and resolution 800 x 600).

    Since I got it I upgraded the CPU to an AMD Athlon 64 x 2 5600 + (Windsor) and the RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB, which has cost me about £25.

    I really want to update the graphics card to something better than the Radeon x 1300 Pro that I have atm. I am aware that the PSU is only 280W and I need a map of low profile for this machine, although I read Dell generally insufficiently misses their PSUS in any case. All the posts I can find here and elsewhere online seem to be old enough and I wanted to make sure that I had discovered so far had not become outdated.

    So far, I found that the recommended card is the Radeon HD 6570.

    Can anyone suggest something better? If not, can anyone suggest what specific version of the 6570 to get (Sapphire, Asus etc.) and the amount of memory to get with it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Can anyone suggest something better?

    XFX R7 240 Low Profile Ready

    30 watts TDP, against 54 watts TDP for the 6570. Faster, too.

    A version of the R7 240 GDDR5 will be even faster, but more money, as well.

  • The Dell Dimension 9200 graphics card upgrade

    I am looking to update my graphics card on a Dell Dimension 9200 and I was wondering if the Nvidia GeForce GT 430 would work with the pc, I have a Nvidia 7900 gt. I am open to both recommendations.

    My current pc features, Windows 8 version Preview (upgrade to windows 8 Pro in a few days), 4 GB of ram, intel dual core 2.13 ghz.

    Hi gaz492,

    The graphics card you have mentioned should work on the Dimension 9200.

    Food that has been delivered with the computer is 375W which is more than the bloc power to the graphics card. Details of the graphics card: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-430/specifications

    In addition, providing the link for the specifications of the computer:

    NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

    Add the link to the manual for Dimension 9200, which is also known as the XPS 410:

    There are a lot of compatible adapters to the computer: here is a list of the latest graphics cards that run on the desktop computer:

    1. nVidia GeForce GT 440.
    2. ATI Radeon HD 6570.
    3. ATI Radeon HD 6670 (requires minimum 400W).
    4. ATI Radeon HD 7750 (requires minimum 400W).

    Usually if the video card is updated on the computer, you must upgrade the power too as the power supply on this computer is 375W.

    Answer please if you have any other questions.

    Hello

    There is a small metal tab inside (guts) on some models of PC HP adds stability to food. You'll have to push the tab down to get food out.  The link below will show this tab.

    How to replace a power supply.

    How to replace a video card.

    Corsair power supply (psu) I used can be mounted with the fan facing upwards or downwards depending on where fresh air is available from. Some PC cabinets have mesh ventilation where the PSU Monte so the fan should face the ventilation mesh so that fresh air can be brought into the power supply and then exhausted at the rear. Some HP computers have slots to air ventilation through the upper edges of the flanks and in this case, the PSU is mounted to the top fan. Otherwise, the Assembly of the fan should be such that the PSU will draw air from inside the Cabinet.

  • HP Pavilion p6-2469ea replace it with a new graphics card?

    Then after hours of stress online and planning on the upgrade of the case, power supply and a GTX 760, I fell on contradictory comments and other experiences of users during the installation of new cards in the PC.

    My PCI-E X 16 slot is a 2.0 then the card is 3.0, but they are retro-compatible, so all that means is I lost a few images, however, users have said HP lock their computers that are predefined and will prevent any installation of new parts that are not installed origanlly.

    I need to know if this is true, before giving up £300 + on equipment to upgrade this PC or to get rid of it and create one from scratch.

    If anyone can help I would appreciate it a lot.

    The motherboard is the blue/white MS-7778 Jasmine if this is useful, with card Nvidea geforce GT 620

    Ok.

    Indeed, it is stretchy. Be sure to check all system requirements of video card foresight to see if they require that you upgrade the PSU. Check the specifications of your PC to see how many Watts (RMS) power supply delivers. I just checked. It has only 300 Watts. It would be preferable to one with a little more grunt (@450 Watts or more) If your goal is to upgrade to a video card that has real power.

    More low end PC have no power supplies which are equipped with six and eight-pin PCIe power connectors. They are required for general public and higher end graphics cards.

    The video card on that question:

    Requirements

    At least a 350 Watt power supply.

    (Recommended minimum power supply + 12 volt current rating of 18 AMPS).

    Power total draw: 49 Watts

    Some versions of the video card, according to the vRAM installed consume more energy.

  • Pavilion dv7-4080us: upgrade or replacement for dv7 4080us video graphics card

    I want to know if I can upgrade the memory of my HP dv7-4080us graphics card. He did an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1 GB of DDR3 memory with up to 3738 MB total dedicated memory graphics card. What this means? I can put more memory or repalce the card? If so, what card should or can I get?

    There is no 'card' you might be imagining. The video is one of the dishes chips soldered to the motherboard. You already have the best video system available for dv7-4000 series of laptops, so there is no way upward to something better.

  • Dimension 5000 graphics card update.

    Hi, thanks for reading.

    I have the map of X300SE graphics by default for the Dell Dimension 5000 but want to update the map.
    As you may know, the PSU has 305 w and isn't a thing of connector 6 pin.

    I am currently interested in the Sapphire HD 4670 Ultimate Edition but I was wondering if it is compatible.

    Thank you very much.

    Nodame.

    PS - I understand that this is not the right place to post, but I have one last question on the installation of a second hard drive.
    I wonder if the Dimension 5000 is compatible with SATA-II hard drives? It requires no jumpers or is it just plug/install and format and go?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Nodame. Your manual is HERE. Cards that would take yoiur system are the 9500GT, 9600GT and the map of your after, the ATI 4670. Manufactors overstate the power for their cards a dell underestimate the power in their PSU. With respect to the hard disk, yes a SATA - he's will work in this system, everything that you have to buy is the SATA data cable. An additional power connector should already be in your system. Here is a link to the 4600 series ati.
