Update video card in Dell C521

I have a Dell Dimension C521, a mini-tower computer.  Some of the most important features are:

AMD Athlon 64 X 2 4000 + 2.1 GHZ.

2 GB of RAM

DVD/CD burner

NVidia 8600 GT

320 GB HD

I have not installed additional all things (cards TV, etc.).   So my question is: can I upgrade my graphics card to the Galaxy 9600 GT low profile card? : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162016

The minimum power necessary for this card is a 400 watt POWER supply. My current diet is 280 watts. The 9600 also requires a PCIe 6-pin power adapter. I did not, but I don't have a free molex power cable. Can I use an adapter to go from molex to 6-pin? My diet will be able to cope with this card? I would like to have all the answers.

Thank you

  • Update video card for Dell XPS 8300

    I'm looking for suggestions for a video card to replace the original NVIDIA GT420 DDR3 1 GB video card in my XPS 8300 running with Windows 7 64 bit.  The PSU is rated at 460 W (+ 12VA-18 a; + 12VB 16 A; + 12VC 8A; + 5V 25A; + 5V to the 2 0a; 3.3V 17A; and - 12V 0-3).  I would avoid upgrading the power supply if possible.

    The original of the NVIDIA card is a PCI Express x 16 slot.  I don't know if it's PCI Express x 16 or PCI Express 2.0 x 16.  Someone knows for a desktop XPS 8300 bought July 2011.

    Thank you.

    It is difficult to determine how quiet a card can be if you look on the comments of the people who bought the specific card you want, or you happen to find a professional opinion on this.   I find most of the double slot cards or cards with the biggest fans to shut up, so I don't think you need worry too much noise.   I have a Sapphire HD 6870 and it's very quiet.  I don't know the HD 7750 is fine for your application and games even if it will happen later.  With the game, you kind of match the video card with the monitor you own and resolution capabilities.  If you have a high screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 or more and you want to set this resolution, then you want a better video card.  After rebate, it may be that a difference of $20 between the 7750 HD and HD 7770 so keep that in mind also.

    @johnh48, welcome to the forum.

    The most recent video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI to mie-October 2012.  The BIOS may not be upgraded in the UEFI.  The last cards only not for UEFI are the GTX 660/670.

    Here is a video card that will give you what you need.  However, it will take a power supply (PSU) upgrade, too.  I love Corsair products.  I propose a modular power supply at least 500W.  Almost any card that meets your needs will require an upgrade of the power supply.

  • Update video card to run the Sims 3

    I'm on a Dell Latitude D505 and need to update my video card to run the sims 3.  I have no idea how to proceed.  Is this somehting that I can download?

    There are hundreds of different video cards available in stores and online, such as bestbuy.com tigerdirect.com newegg.com computer.   I also think that Wal-Mart may have a couple of them in their computer section...

    few cards have their own memory and processor, which is dedicated solely to the graphics processing.   These cards help the central processor (cpu) on the motherboard by managing complex graphics data.

    the cards come in different degrees of power and style and price.  In addition, they are made to conform to the specific version of the operating system.  In addition, the game itself has requirements as well.   but in general, a good video card works for many games.

    to install a card, you will need to disconnect the computer from the power source and then open the side panel.   the card mother aura of slot machines, where these kinds of cards integrated.

    However, motherboards equipped with different styles slot and video cards are manufacturerd with differring styles to fit these slots.

    you will need to see again you, manual of the computer or online to see what style of slots has the motherboard, then get a proper map style that corresponds to this.

    also, since their CDs and cards is manufactured in the past, it is necessary to visit the homesite maps to download its latest software and drivers after installing the card.

    Although the above seems a bit complex.  It's pretty easy.

    the hardest part is deciding which card to buy.  the easiest part is then plugged into the motherboard.

  • Update video card: 630i Desktop - need advice

    I have a Dell XPS 630i Desktop 5 1/2 year, which usually is going very well, with enough power for most of the cases.  Recently implemented a 125 GB SSD as drive operating system.

    Anyway, in these last days, we got some random video artifacts appears sporadically on one or two of my two monitors Viewsonic (DVI for both of the Nvidia 9800GT 512 MB video card).  A small section of the screen will have the weird characters, sometimes a bunch of screen Flash, etc.  And a few times that there was a BSOD crash, with the video driver (nvlddmkm.sys) be responsible.

    I tell myself that there must be a bad video card or driver.  I have updated to the pilot the most recent on the Dell site (R213185, 181.30, Vista 64, A04) and well.  But I have this vague feeling that it is a hardware problem.  If it was a driver problem, why now after all these years, he suddenly would be problems, no recent changes to the system, etc..

    I used the tools of diagnosis from Dell, which has tested the performance of the video card, memory, etc, and no errors were detected, which is encouraging.

    I post here, to seek advice, in which case the video card end up being the problem and need to be replaced.

    1. If I decide to replace it, what are some good recommendations for a new map of video for this system (Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz, 6 GB of RAM).  I don't want exaggerated and pay for potential performance of video card I would not be obtained with the old motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc.

    2. the current system is sufficient for most cases, with the main shortcoming being the slow performance when you are working on my of Canon DSLR Raw files in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop, watch a HD video from camcorders or other sources, etc.  In this regard, replace the video card would provide a substantial improvement in this type of performance?

    3. I'd rather than replace the entire office by something more recent?

    All thought, popular point of view.

    Don

    Video card drivers can become corrupt and simply uninstall them and their update with a new driver may solve the problem.  It is more likely a hardware problem, a driver problem, even if the 9800 GT is an old map.  If he wasn't pushed hard with the game over the years, then it can last a long time. XPS 630i is a good system and with the Q6600 it is still worthy and can perform very well.  If you were to replace the video card, I'd just get something simple like the GTX 650 HERE, which would exceed the performance of the 9800 GT and not market much.

    Hello:

    There is no graphics removable/replaceable/extendable 'cards' in your noteobook.

    (GPU) graphics cards, are chips that are welded and their circuit integrated on the motherboard.

    The only way to update the graph on your laptop would be to replace the motherboard.

    But as the graphical installation program has your laptop is the best that HP offered for this model, there is no motherboards available with better graphics.

  • HP Phoenix H9 - 1150T: NO video on an updated video card

    Installation of a 370 R7 graphics card. I can adapt to and connect the power cable (500 watts). The computer starts with NO VIDEO at all. He seeks drivers and restart still no video. I watched this and it could be a bios problem. Checked relevant forum and site of video card without a son.   My motherboard has an older bios with no. UEFI. Is it possible to update the bios to UEFI support. Not searched high and low on HP sites, no chance. Megatends US to wonder about the mobo maker will mobo so see if they have an update. BTW this is for both systems are identical, they both have the same problem. Trying to avoid a call to technical support on my dime. If all else fails I will update a good not expensive mobo and re-use of ram and cpu.

    Thank you any help is welcome.

    . UPDATE * with several systems on hand. I realized the 370 R7 is NOT compatible with the system board. I put the R7 370 4 GB in an older HP (HPE580) and it worked. Then put the card of the HPE 580 in PHOENIX (h9 - 1150t) and it worked. It was an R9 270 2 GB. SO a R9 270 WORK of WILL and a R7 370 4 GB 2 GB won't WORK. Need a bios upgrade same MSI tech support said it was common on this model (h9 - 1150t) Phoenix. Thanks for the help!

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f: update video card

    A PNY gtx 950 should physically be in a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f? I already know that I have to upgrade the power supply, but before shelling out more money, I figured I would see if anyone knew if the card fits?

    KKingotu, welcome to the forum.

    The problem you will have with the GTX 950 is, it requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  Your computer was released on February 5, 2010.  There is no way to update the UEFI BIOS.  You can contact Technical Support PNY to see if they have a VBIOS update for the video card that will work with your motherboard.

    Meanwhile in the space provided, you can measure e/s rear plate on the front of the computer case to see if any of the components.  In addition, it is a wide double card (two locations).

    A custom computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update utility is not able to update the driver. Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems. Contact yourcomputer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

    So, how do I change that?

    Johnny, welcome to the forum.

    When a help request, you must always include the brand / model of the computer or the monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications for them.

    HP has its video designed especially for them cards run with other OEM components.  Therefore, the driver is custom.  That's why the Intel driver will not work.

    If you want to play games on the computer, I suggest upgrading to a discrete video card.  This will eliminate the need for video to share system memory.  You will see an increase in the performance of the system and games will work much better.

  • Satellite A100 - update video card

    Hello. Sorry for my English, I'm studying this language byself.
    I ask my request seriously. I studied for a long time patterns and the possibilities of the computer.
    Support the GeForce Go 7600 512 MB of video memory is officially declared, I found necessary modules of memory and replaced on the video card. I checked all currents and voltages.

    Operationally, the laptop works, but defines 256 MB memory of 512 possible. If I understand this restriction is set in the BIOS or VideoBIOS.

    Please, quick like me to solve this problem, any special version can eat BIOS for the increase in video memory.

    Problem is that Toshiba doesn't support these updates and doesn't offer any update of the BIOS that will help you with this.
    If a person make the decision to do this update is on own risk.

    You can be happy that everything runs smoothly and that there is no problem some serious with him.
