Update the Dell Inspiron 660 graphics card

I had my Dell Inspiron 660 for a little over a year and am now looking to upgrade the graphics card. It's pretty close to it, but mine works on Windows 7:

In my opinion, he has a power supply 300 watt, 8 GB of ram, integrated Intel HD graphics card and is the complete Office Tower (not mini). I'm tired of playing games on low heat and would like a card that can handle parameters of medium-high on the games. I could upgrade food if necessary, but would like to keep all of the budget under $ 200. I heard the AMD Radeon 7750 may work with a 300 Watt power supply, but I don't want to take the risk of harming the computer. One of these cards would be suitable for my current setup:

or

http://www.Amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-1024MB-graphics-01G-...

Or do I have to switch to a diet that is higher (like this one), and then that the cards would be good under $150?

You can use the 650 GTX because it requires a power supply cable 6 pin that does not have 300 watt POWER supply.  The only one that works is the 7750 HD because it does not require any additional power cling. Your best bet for the game would be to upgrade your power supply.  With the upgrade of the PSU, I will seek to obtain the R7 X 260 HERE.  This is the best you can do for less than $150.

  • Update the Dell Vostro 430 graphics card

    Hi, I have a question about the change in my video card in my old (well, not this old) abandoned Vostro 430. It has a block of power SUPPLY 350 but I bought a GeForce GTX 650 (because who reads the instructions?) who says that it requires a power supply of 400. Can I go out with a 350 for a while until I buy a block of POWER 400 in a month or two from here or I'd end up frying my card?

    Hi WheresThePowerButton,

    As shared earlier, I found a few references online where the users were able to use successfully the GTX 650 with 350W power supply. However, if you run demanding or graphics intensive applications requiring treatment capabilities more heavy system, it will lead to a power load. In such a case, the system could overheat and even stop abruptly for lack of power. The results are uncertain and could cause damage to one of the components including the motherboard, CPU, or hard drive.

    The required power cannot be calculated only video card. It depends also processor, no. memory, hard drives, optical drives connected, internal expansion cards or external peripheral attached to the system. During my research, I found that various manufacturers of power supplies have a tool of calculator of electric supply on their Web sites that you can use to calculate PSU for your system requirements. One such example is here.

    Note: The link above is only for reference purposes. Dell has not tested or subscribed to these tools.

    The power computed by tool is approximate energy required by your system. In my personal experience, I have observed that the power supplies can not operate at 100% efficiency. If we take efficiency PSU to be around 70-75% and that if the tool calculates your condition of approximately 300W system power, need you a power supply at least 300 * 100/75 = 400W. For more information, refer to link here.

    I hope this helps.

  • Graphic updating the Dell Inspiron 580

    Hello world

    I own a Dell Inspiron 580 and want to update the graphics card, mainly for photoshop but also casual games (SWTOR).

    On the Dell site scouring for hours she was told that the AMD Radeon HD double 7750 1GBx16 PCIe HDMI is a card that is compatible with the Inspiron 580.

    http://www.VisionTek.com/7000-series/7750-Dual-HDMI.html

    In my excitement, I ordered the card immediately, but later by reading the specs, that is to say the power required for the HD 7750 is 350 Watt... and now I am aware that the Inspiron 580 has only a POWER 300 watt PSU.

    It will be possible to run this card safely with the stock power supply?

    I have contributed to the maximum my 8 GB system RAM and I also have a Sound Blaster X - Fi Titanium HD installed.

    Thank you for all you can give me information or advice.

    Hi Ninjasaan,

    Dell has not tested with the AMD Radeon HD 7750 system. You can install the graphics card and it should work fine. However, as you know that the power required by the system of the card is more than the power supply provided with the system, you may need to replace the power supply. The minimum power required by the card system is 400 watts.

    You can replace the power supply of the system with a stock THAT same size PSU and it should work.

    For repair, you can see the link: http://bit.ly/VphDmP.

    I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to answer for any further assistance.

  • 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.

  • Dell Inspiron 660 AMD Radeon HD 7800 series BSOD

    Recently, I have put my Dell Inspiron 660 with a new graphics card, an AMD Radeon HD 7800. At the same time, I improved the power source to a Corsair Builder Series CXM modular 80 PLUS Bronze certified ATX/EPS power supply 500W.

    I installed the card, update drivers and disabled the integrated graphics card. I tried to disable the onboard graphics via BIOS but there is no option to disable it in the BIOS, the AMD Radeon also is not running in the BIOS. If I uninstall the onboard graphics, the computer just re - installs on reboot.

    The card works for everyday tasks, but whenever I try to launch a game, it works fine without any problems for a few minutes and then crash with a BSOD. Then, the computer restarts and is as usual.

    The Inspiron 660 comes with the processor intel core i3-2130, 4 GB Ram and a 64-bit operating system.

    Any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Then, you need to get a more expensive food.

  • Dell Inspiron 660 bad memory

    Dell Inspiron 660 has a slot of bad memory. It has two slots 4 GB in each slot, 8GB total. Only 4 GB show. I removed the ram and switched around and tried one in each location. My side slot on the left does not. Is this a common problem? It is expensive to replace the mother board? All the other fixes for this? I can put a 8 GB in a slot should I buy one?

    Thanks for all the answers to my questions frustrated! Debra

    II BIOS sees only 4 GB and any crack each RAM module is in it, then it looks like a motherboard failure.

    According to the specifications, 660 modules only supports 2 and 4 GB of RAM with a max of 8 GB total installed. So none is not a module of 8 GB.

    Several Inspiron 660 cards mothers available here and on the next pages of this site. And I guess there is always the eBay group own Dell spare parts.

    Only you can decide how much you want to spend fixing it. And always ask if a replacement motherboard is new, used, refurbished and warranty.

  • Impossible to update my hp p001tx nvidia graphics card

    I can't update my nvidia gt 830 graphics card m in my computer hp laptop p001tx and he said: this is the latest version of the driver software and also I checked nvidia site

    so please help me

    If the operating system indicates that the installed driver is the latest driver available, believe it.

    Does not update the driver from anywhere other than the download section portal of HP support or by use of the Assistant de Support HP. Does not update the driver graphic Windows Update or the NVIDIA site! 

    Update a driver for a portable computer is not the same as for a desktop PC. Drivers for laptops are usually specific to the model laptop and use a suppllied reference driver by the manufacturer of the graphics card that has been modified by the manufacturer of the laptop. Only update drivers when a new driver is available at HP.

  • HP PROBOOK 450 GB: Can I update my motherboard with a graphics card

    Hello

    I have a hp probook 450 GB (i3, 8 GB ram, 1 TB), and I wonder if I cand update my motherboard with a graphics card. Is this possible? My motherboard is 1949 Hewlett - Packard (U3E1).

    Thank you!

    The 450 G0 has either Intel HD 4000 or it can have switchable discrete Radeon 8750 M, but if you have the old, you will need to replace the whole motherboard to get one with Radeon graphics cards. Which may be prohibitive, but is theoretically possible. Can you replace your self? Parts will run a few hundred to a few hundred working (in dollars). You need the motherboard and a new radiator/cooling fan. Processor, wireless card memory could be reversed. Also your windows must be reactivated and eventually you will have to buy a new Windows license (which does not 100% the case) but Microsoft generally believes that it is a different computer if you swap out the motherboard.

    If still interested we can guide you through the details.

  • This PSU and GPU will work with my dell inspiron 660?

    Hello

    I got my dell inspiron 660 earlier (2 years ago) and was thinking of upgrading the PSU and GPU (I'm not a big PC gamer so cheap products, I chose will be much used) anyone of you could tell me if it would be compatible with my inspiron and between them. And if not could you tell me some compatible CPU and GPU, my spending limit is £90.

    GPU - Asus GeForce GT 610

    PSU - power supply 600W Sumvision power X 3

    Thanks in advance,

    I think that the 660 has a 300W power supply.  What is the Min requirements for the GT 610?  I think you could slamming in there without having to upgrade the power supply at all.

  • How can I put an SSD inside a Dell Inspiron 660?

    First of all, I want to express how much I love your computers, Dell. You guys ROCK! Best brand of computer I've ever bought. On the subject; I have a desktop PC Dell Inspiron 660 with a 1 TB hard drive. I want to spend the hard drive for an SSD, but I looked inside your case and the hard drive has 2 rails metal (one on each side). That being said; How to fit an SSD in there? I know I need an adapter of sorts that it will allow to get into that, but how I'd cela in view of the way in which the hard disk is set up? I'm so confused! Thanks for your time.

    You install the drive in a silverstone adapter then put the rails on it.

    This card should work as its on the system requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro

    But first is not take advantage of the advanced features of quadro, and a similar performance quadro vs gtx can cost 5 times more. If you better save your money and go with a gtx. the gtx 950 would be about the same performance as this K4200, but much less expensive. a 970 gtx about 2 x more powerful, but still half the price.
