Second graphics card for Dell Optiplex 980

Hello

My Optiplex 980 has an ATI Radeon HD 3450 with two connected monitors. In order to launch a third screen, I bought a compatible Windows 7 video card and installed in the PCI (regular PCI, PCI Express) housing.  Sort of, this has worked for a bit, but changing resolutions display or other activities led to empty screens. I removed it.

By this thread: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/p/19400654/19935197.aspx#19935197

It seems that my machine simply does not support a third-party monitor. Is this correct? I have seen elsewhere that Optiplex owners have managed to install a 2nd video card.

I want to run three monitors at once, stretching from my screen (no mirroring). The Matrox TripleHead2Go is $ 300, too expensive, and I need to run the different resolutions on each screen.

I would try USB video but worry that it will put a brake on my CPU.

I appreciate the advice.

THX,

Ben

AMD made called "eyefinity" video cards series 3 running watching the... a few catches: you must be able to insert the card in your case and your diet must be able to handle it... you didn't say what 980 you... He came in different sizes.  an another important problem, is one of the 3 monitors must be able to connect to a display on the eyefinity card port.

example of a full eyefinity card size you could run if you have the version of the Tower of the 980 optplex: www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

example of a profile low eyefinity card you can use if you have the profile low optiplex 980: www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

  • Adapted from food for a Radeon Graphics Card (for Dell Optiplex 990) 6450

    Hello

    I would like to install a graphic card Radeon 6450 in my computer Dell Optiplex 990. I already spent a considerable amount of time and money, the upgrade of the PC. However, the power supply plays in my mind a bit and in regard to the graphics card, I ordered for her and the form factor PC that seems to be a form factor small when I get my service in the site tag code, I want to make sure that I have made the right choice of first time.

    My system is attached (a 1st) as well as specific photographs of power supply and graphics card.

    I was told that I must really be consider a 400 Watt one. Furthermore. I understand that it's difficult to say without physically seeing the piece in question, but is there a standard size wise size that will fit in my case?

    If you need more details, please let me know.

    Thank you very much

    Above is current spec system.

    Here are pictures of my current diet which I don't put everything (includes connectors - can you tell these if mine is ATX or the type that must be taken into account?):

    The graphics (Radeon 6450) which I have bought too soon! ( :| ) :

    One of more to come. Also, I think I have the right PCI port on the motherboard. Who is the answer, please be able to confirm if you certainly know I wish it is my board or send me a photo of one. (It is that with the kind of clip on the end of it, the long version thing)? -Sorry for my terminology!

    I would say your 709MT 240W power is very good for a 6450 which uses DDR3.  Not all current Dells use EPS12v ATX power supplies. You have only 2 slots and the card must be discreet.

    Hello! I recently acquired a Dell Optiplex 960 (the larger one) and it comes with the integrated graphics card, so I was wondering what graphics card I put in it?

    I used an OptiPlex 960 SFF (Q9650 processor) and 8 GB of RAM as a development machine. I installed a Sapphire 6570 graphics card and had absolutely no problem; the 6570 will be a huge leap in performance and features on the integrated graphics card.

  • Possible graphics card for DELL OptiPlex 3020?

    Hello

    Is it possible to install a video card in the computer Optiplex 3020? I was recommended the 750/750ti from Nvidia that requires no connection to power, but the tech in the store guy told me that even this does not much help us play games because of the power bit my diet so is there anything I can do to this computer play games?

    Would like to play Dragon Age Inquisition and similar RPG, games don't care how high settings are, only 60 fps please. My computer looks like the cotyledon on the elevator.

    SSD won't do a GPU on INTEL Graphics.

    You need something like a Low Profile 7750 not because of the profile because of the power or lack thereof.  Machines of Precision 380 can be had for very little and can use maps video full size.  GTX650TI is required for finer framerates.  ZOTAC ZT-61101-10 M works very well in my Precision 380 with Pentium D 960 upgraded to 8 GB of ram and windows 8.1 pro 64-bit.

    R7250E is a 7750 remarketed

  • HP ENVY Phoenix 860-078na: adding a second graphics card for HP ENVY Phoenix 860-078na

    I think to buy a HP ENVY Phoenix 860-078na and I was wondering if it is able to take a second graphics card and can accommodate a Corsair H60 liquid CPU Cooler. Thank you

    Felix, welcome to the forum.

    There is only one PCI Express x 16 (Genesis 3) slot for a video card.  With respect to liquid cooling, medium size case do not have a lot of space.  I have a Phoenix 860-170VR with an R9-390 X video card and it is extremely tight.  However, having said that, I think you wouldl be pleasantly surprised by the way the computer will be with existing components.  I can play COD series on the best settings.

  • Graphics card for Dell Inspiron 3847

    Can I put a 7200LE card in this computer?  If Yes, which?

    Recently, I put in an NVidia GTX 750 Ti in mine and have no problem except a bottleneck of the i3 4150 but im going to level it too. Rememeber if you receive anything requiring that you will need to buy a new power supply to fuel the beast that I suggest, if you get something newer that my 750Ti then it will be necessary to get at least a 400W - 750W PSU according to what the applications card and if you upgrade the processor. Personally, I like the whole machine, that Dell is the best producer by far in my opinion. I had an HP previously and a Lenovo. HP is the worst customer far experiencewise and Lenovo is ok, but their systems appear cheap inside as they have their own internal components "because its cheaper" kind of thing going. Dell is 5 stars

  • Desperately need a updated graphics card for Dell Inspiron N7010

    I literally spend days trying to upgrade the GPU on my Dell Inspiron N7010, Windows 7 machine. I made the mistake of download 2012 Movie Maker to replace the 2011 version, which worked perfectly. It gave me an error message, and when I tried to reinstall 2011, the same error came. After much research, I've learned I need and upgrade to a version that is better than my current one, 8.15.10.2104. A comprehensive online search did not produce any fix for me. My question is: Y at - it an upgrade to that driver of 2010, and if so, how can I get?  Thank you.
