Update video TI Alienware ALX R4 card (2013) GTX 980

I'm looking to upgrade my video card a 690 GTX for a SINGLE GTX 980 TI classified, but I have a few concerns.

The concerns are:

  • Bottle-necking
  • Power

My PC Specs are:

  • Motherboard: Socket LGA2011 FPV4P 7JNH0
  • CPU: Intel (r) Core i7 - 3930 K CPU @ 3.20 GHz (Overclocked to 4.1)
  • Power supply: 850 watts
  • 16g of Ram
  • OS: Windows 10 (to install about 1 week)

I've updated my Bios to A11 when I installed Win 10 and everything seems to work as expected, with the exception of now want to increase the performance of my graphics card.

Any thoughts on the questions my may need to eliminate or watch in the purchase of this new video card? Here is the map that I'm considering the purchase:

www.evga.com/.../Product.aspx

Hello

It has not validated the graphics card GTX 980 Ti with the Alienware Aurora R4. Therefore, we cannot confirm if the card will agree and will work properly with the system. I found this thread which can be useful in this case.

  • Alienware 18/w 2 x GTX 980 M 8 GB problems SLI - 8 beeps and no video now detected

    Hey everybody,

    I picked up a 'is' 18 with 2 x GTX 980 m 8 GB cards discreet alienware.

    When you first start up, I got the dreaded "8 beeps" and a black screen.

    I did a lot of online guides, and all said that one or two video cards must be bad.

    So, I opened it and removed the two cards and then tried to turn on without all video cards, which works 100% great.

    I think I tried put 1 card in slot 1, and turns, but in BIOS, Manager devices, GPUz etc, the video card is not detected.

    I tried the same thing with Slot 2 only and the same problem.

    I also tried to reinstall just the two and I still had 8 beeps.

    These video cards are worth about $500 + each, so I'd like to find a way to at least get a job if possible.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you!

    Both cards video with SLI cable, everything works correctly! Wow!

    For all those who come to this page, here is my best explanation of what was the fix:

    Remove the battery, remove the video cards, maybe reinstall OS, replace the battery so that the video cards are out, update BIOS to later restore the default BIOS settings, reinstall the video card (1 at a time).

I'm currently running by opening the lid of the AGM. Also, the AGM is not connected to any external screens, only to the AW15.

    When I run my AW15 without the AGM, it rolls with the edge GTX 980 M. I can play Rainbow Six seat (the only game in the testbed to date) to Max settings no problem.

    When I plug the AGM + the 980Ti and implementing power, things happening:

    • The entire system (AGA, AW15 + 980Ti) starts turning the power on. Everything turns on, the AGM fan spin, spin gets fans. He reached the first screen with the Klipsch brand image on it.
    • After a few seconds, the system stops. No lights except for the brick power connector and all fans of die down.

    • Look in the Device Manager recognizes two display devices: the Intel HD Graphics and the edge GTX 980 M.
    • The command AW Center indicates that the AGA is connected. It is said that external GPU is disabled, the internal GPU is on. I am able to play with the color of the light of the AGM.
    • The AW15 works and runs normally with the GTX 980 M edge, just as without the AGM.

  • custom update video card in Windows vista

    Well here is my problem, I recently started to play games on my PC but every time I try to launch a game, I'm down market square of steam, it tells me to update my video card driver and redirects me to this site http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect. After I scan my computer for updates I navigate through my products and my graphics driver it tellls me this

    A Intel® G33/G31driver current installed Build 7.15.10.1608 detected product

    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.

    @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.

    Then when I tried to display updated my driver, there is no way to freaking updated its just impossible mission.

    Toshiba care a little to make updating drivers for the customer even though I tried to download it from the official site of AMD.

    It is said to be impossible to update driver since it is not supported and it said that I'm going for new drivers toshiba site and there is no new drivers for my pc.

    So I stuck and new games need new drivers like few games don't wana start because I not updated my drivers.

  • 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.

  • The Vixia HF G30 allows a direct copy of video files from an SD card on an external USB hard disk

    I am considering buying a G30 and need to know if she will allow a direct copy of video files from an SD card on an external USB hard drive.  The manual is not clear on this point.

    Not to my knowledge (I own a G30 HF).  There is no present on-the-go USB functionality.

    Personally, I do not miss such a feature, because it causes all kinds of compatibility problems, especially with regard to the power of external USB hard drives. In addition, without any file manager, backup of your video files into a nightmare. I must admit that I am rather Cannon after not on an often incomplete function development budget and have it spent instead on the main features of the camera, such as optics. Of course, this is just my very subjective opinion, and other HF G30 clients may have different opinions on this.

    In order to back up my video files on the fly and without having to carry a laptop, I recently bought a made by Hanso Hyperdrive colorspace UDMA2 and installed a 1 TB in her drive. When on the ground and after having taken my shots I just pop in my inside SD cards and the device of copies on the video files to 17Mbyte per second. At home, I plug in the UDMA2 in my Linux video workstation using a regular USB cable and pull the video from the mobile disk. The UDMA2 also did incremental backups and comes with a basic file manager. While it has a color screen, it can't play back video. It is a video and photo backup dedicated device, nothing more. But it does a decent job on exactly that.
