Try to upgrade the video card for an Optiplex 7010

I realize to update my graphics card, I need to upgrade from my diet, and I'm fine with that. What I really struggle with, is what are the specifications of the motherboard on this computer. I would like to know what my bandwiths PCI-E are on it (IE 1 PCI-E X 16 1 PCI-E X 4?)

Also, I would get the best graphics card I can get to what will fit (for adobe work). I measured the space and wow is not much... most graphics cards are 10 "long, and the space, it seems to me is only a fight 7.5" before I launch into the box for hard drives. I assumed that I could cut out the box and free up space, but thrilled to hear what others use.

Also, I noticed there are only two PCI-E ports, but the 2nd is probably useless due to how close his pushed to the bottom of the case so I'm stuck with a 1 GPU option.

Keep all this in mind and without cutting into the hard drive cages, let me know if this could work:

GPU: MSI N760 ITX gfx card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127772

Power: 600w http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438014 EVGA

Don't get me wrong, I would like a more powerful GPU (I push 2 monitors 1920 X 1080), but I don't see how I can get whatever it is also gone...

Feeding okay? It works for that?

Thanks for all the help and advice that you have!

Food looks good.  It is only 5.9 "long which is what you want for your snap custom mount you have on this system.  The MSI card is very short, it looks like a good way too.  Your system has a PCIe X 16 2.0 slot for the video card.  Speeds of the lower PCI X 16 slot is connected to X 4.  With only a 250 watt power, this system is all designed for video cards more if two small.  The 760 GTX is a powerful video card.  I see no need to put a video card premium that costs $500 or more in a Dell system.  To do so, make a custom version of a case of nice game for better air flow and cooling.

    Hello

    You won't have a very big video card for video streaming.   The biggest problem will be the bandwidth of the network and which will vary depending on the density of content that you choose and the format of the data.

    For example, Netflix recommends 6-7 Mbps of bandwidth for HD video.

    mathenson,

    You can update the video, install any PCIEx16 card video and the new PSU (power supply).

    The general answer is based on the games you play. It is best to search for the site of the game, reading the recommended list 'graphics card '. Then add a little more.

    graphics card comparison site. http://www.hwcompare.com/6232/Radeon-HD-5670-vs-Radeon-HD-6950-2GB/

  • A confirmed upgrades to the video card for XPS 8500?

    I want to upgrade the video card in my XPS 8500 (currently a 7570). I searched around and literally impossible to find a simple confirmation of a card that suit and will work (not to mention that the other a Dell offers, 7770, I think that it is). I would really fall into a 6850 6870 or 7850 (in the order of less for the most favorite). I found lots of info on cards that work with the old 8300, XPS, which uses the same power supply as the 8500 according to me. However, I'm not sure if the limitations of the space are the same in the case of XPS 8500 compared to the 8300.

    Would appreciate any info. Thank you!

    I don't see why not.  I just installed a R9 Sapphire x 280 in my XPS8500, I have an OC of HD7850 Sapphire.   This card is crazy for a long time.

  • Upgrade the video card on Satellite X 200-20 g

    Hello everyone

    I'll find a way to have my 8700M GT updated on my X 200 laptop.
    I paid for it more than 2000 and I paid for 2 years warranty.
    A few months later, I discovered that some of the new Toshiba are equipped with 9700 m GTS!

    I know that the X 200-20 G is having a mxm graphics card which is removable to be upgraded (not being is not part of the motherboard).

    I couldn't find anywhere in the Toshiba site, where I can ask to buy a new graphics card, or if I can send my laptop and ask for an upgrade price.
    I suppose someone who has paid a sum of money for Toshiba can be listened to, or get a special offer to swap its model to the newest one after even not a year of use.

    I really want to upgrade the video card, and I don't really know where to find advice or information about it, other than on the side of Toshiba.

    Thanks to everyone or admin, to let me know how I should do, or process.

    Kind regards

  • Upgrade the video card

    I have a HP Pavilion h9-1187 windows 64 - bit pc with nvidia GeForce GT 530 by default.  I need to upgrade the video card, but this motherboard has only one of pci express 16 3.0 slot.  Almost all decent video cards require two slots.  I guess that most cards except those in the crossfire, two cards together configuration, must the two slots.  Most of the time, I guess the seller asking two slots due to the space.  Remove the CAP from my pc and possibly void the warranty, can someone tell me what video card width this pc may take.   I have the motherboard COMPANY PEGATRON, the default value.  If you care to recommend a video card decent all 250-300us about feel free.  Thank you. Apologies, but as a newbie I also posted this in the hardware section of the bureau of the forum as well.  I'll delete the entry that is in the wrong part of the forum.

    When a card is listed as having "two slots", this means only that he would hold the PCIe x 16 location and regardless of the slot is adjacent. It does not require a connection to more than the PCIe x 16 slot. Looking at the photo below, the long black slit under the "IPMMB-FM" is the PCIe x 16 graphics card slot. "The slot short slot needs to be empty, then the '2 locations' map can adapt it without connection to this.

    Almost any card graphics PCIe 2.0, 2.1 or 3.0 will work on your computer. Please look at these PCIe x 16 graphics cards for a selection in your price range. Please see Guide of Dave_G of a discrete video card selection of useful information on the subject.

  • Impossible to upgrade the video card on 810-109 Phoenix Envy

    I bought a new desktop computer (810-109 Phoenix) and wanted to upgrade the video card. The new video card is a Zotac GTX 660. The thing is that the system does not boot with the new video card. I got continuous beeps from the system. I used 6 PCI-E power connector pins. The power suply is expected to support the video card, as it is listed as 600W and it is the wat recommended for the video card. I am runing Windows 8.1 64bits.

    Help, please.

    Hello:

    When you add a video card no HP in a PC provided with W8/8.1, you will need to change 2 settings of the BIOS before installing the card.

    Please read the info on the link below and hopefully that will solve the problem for you.

    It is modular allowing you to use only the necessary cables.  This means that there is more room inside the circulation of air.  He is also a 600W which will give you extra power for the possible future upgrades.  Any block of power SUPPLY Corsair will be good.  They are fans of the quality products for a reasonable price.

  • Upgrade the video card in Pavilion HPE 380t

    Hello

    I want to upgrade the video card in my HPE 380 t, currently it has geforce gtx 260, I want to install a geforce gtx 560 ti or 570.

    I have 2 problems with the viability of this. 1. space. and 2. Food. Has anyone successfully completed a similar upgrade on this system?

    Plug current sys is the following.

    • Intel Core i7 - 930 quad-core [2.8 GHz, 1 MB L2 + 8 MB of cache N3 shared]
    • 12GB DDR3 - 1066 MHz SDRAM [6 DIMMS]
    • 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM SATA 3 Gb/s of 750Go
    • 1.8 GB NVIDIA Geforce GTX 260 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
    • LightScribe 16 X MAX drive DVD +/-R/RW SuperMulti

    power of 460 wt

    About the food, the psu calculator gives me the following recommendations

    I need my current configuration 529W!

    with a gtx 560 ti , I need 513

    with a gtx 570, I need 577W

    This raises a few questions:

    1. How can my system running on a 460wt power if the power supply calculator recommends 529w (nvidia reccomends a PSU 500w for the gtx 260 which is installed on my machine?)

    2. how the song gtx 560 ti could possibly require less energy than my current gtx 260?

    3. could I move to one of these cards without replacing the power supply? (I'd be willing to lose the dvd/rw drive, this falls 30w)

    4. what someone has updated the PSU in a HPE 380 t? Looks like there is a little extra space, but not much?

    About the video card itself, I am concerned about the space, I looked inside of the case, there is a decent amount of clearance around the gtx 260, but I'd love to hear from someone who has tried to replace this card.

    Specifications for standard cards are:

    gtx 260 courses:

    height: 4,376 inches, length: 10.5 inches, width: double slot

    recommended psu 500w

    GTX 560 ti

    height: 4,376 inches, length: 9 inches, width: double slot

    recommended psu 500w

    GTX 560 ti super clocked

    height: 9.4 inches, length: 11.8 inches, width: double slot

    GTX 570

    height: 4,376 inches, length: 10.5 inches, width: double slot

    recommended psu 550w

    bang for buck the 560 ti superclocked is the best deal, unfortunately they are also the most cumbersome...

    All advice appreciated!

    Hello

    The difference will be the distance between the power supply and the optical bays can be annoying.  Open your PC and do some measure and see if a thumb causes less issues.  Don't forget the extra cable lengths.

    Tip: When you install the new power supply, remove the front cover, lock the optical drive and slide if forward to facilitate the installation of the power supply. Do the PSU upgrade before you get your PC stable before installing new video card.

    These "how-to" HP articles should be useful.

    The OCZ has a bus verses double 12 volts the Corsair with a rail.  There is always a debate about who is best. Both have advantages and disadvantages.  I prefer implementing the only bus.  The really big PSUS, all seem to have several buses. The material of the size of the bus which had to bear the whole of the amperage on a bus would be rather substantial with very large power supplies and there are other reasons.

  • Upgrading the video card in dv7-6179us

    Hello, I have a dv7-6179us, and I was wondering if the video card upgrade is possible and what would work as an upgrade. Currently, it has 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 6490 m card. When I run programs for video and photos, I always get the high CPU usage. So I was wondering if upgrading the video card would contribute to this.

    Thank you

    Hello:

    There is no video "cards" in most notebook PC including your own.

    The only way to update the graphics would be to replace the motherboard together with a support, which may have better graphics.

    Graphics of your model is in the upper part of the brand, so the only way to get better graphics performance would be to buy a new laptop with the desired graphic solution.

  • Advice on upgrading the video card in Studio 540

    I just picked up a used Studio 540 and was looking to upgrade the video card without having to buy a new power supply. I do a few games.  Anyone would be able to advise a good card that works in this machine? My budget is $ 150.  I was leaning towards a Sapphire Radeon 7750 brand or possibly a 7770 like this:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814202011

    The specifications are the following:

    Studio 540
    Core 2 Quad Q9400 clocked at 2.6 GHz
    8 GB memory
    Hard drive 500 GB
    power SUPPLY 350 watt PSU
    1680 x 1050 resolution

    Thanks in advance.

    You always have a pretty decent system with Quad CPU and 8 GB of memory.  I love the Sapphire of HD7770 you have connected.  As long as you have the PCIe 6-pin power cable on your 350w unit, you should be fine.  It's going to be the best that you can get without taking account of an upgrade of the power supply.  I say go ahead because the 7750 HD is not that much less and the 7770 HD will be best for the games.
