upgrade Alienware Aurora - version PCI Express graphics card

Hi, I want to improve my Alienware Aurora with a new graphics card. I always use original equipment, an ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series (with GDDR5 1024), which runs with PCI Express 2.0 x 16. I had no problem with the card, but as I can't play Company of Heroes 2 with all the settings above, I want to get better. As I was looking for a new card, I wondered if my system supports only the PCI Express 2.0 version or also higher versions (like 2.1 or 3.0). Unfortunately, I couldn't find this information (my motherboard is an Alienware 0H869M). Maybe you can help me. If you have a recommendation of a good graphics card, I would be grateful that as well. Thank you.

You can use the latest AMD Radeon cards that were designed for PCIe v3, they work only PCIe v2 mode, and generally it will not create any problems. I wouldn't say anything much higher than a 290 R9 or R9 x 280.

You can also choose any NVIDIA card brand because they can also run on PCIe v2 and most people actually do this right now because they have not upgraded to a v3 PCIe system.

  • Can I replace my graphic chipset with an integrated PCI Express graphics card?

    I am looking to update my graphics card. I did some research and learned that my motherboard is a N-Alvorix-RS880-Μatx (Yes, it has a PCI Express slot) and my current graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4200 (Chipset). Product information on my computer on the HP site said that "integrated into the graphics card or the card PCI Express x 16 slot are usable at once; they are not usable at the same time. "I don't know exactly what this means.

    Is it possible for me to get a new graphics card and use it on my computer? If so, what would I do with the current chipset graphic card? Or am I condemned to have to use my current lame graphics forever card?

    Thank you very much for the help.

    Hi Scott,.

    Please send the product code of HP to the exact address for your PC.

    When a video card is installed in the PCI-E x 16 slot, the bios will recognize this situation and will subsequently disable the motherboard integrated video processor.  It's one or the other but not both.

    Yes, you can put a discrete video card in your PC, but we need to know more information about your PC such as the size of the power supply etc.

  • Pavilion p6340f: version PCI Express Slot p6340f

    Hi all!  I'm upgrading graphic on the hp p6340f computer and need to know the version of the PCI-Express slot for the card that I get functions correctly.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

    By checking several motherboards using the Intel G43 Express chipset (same as the one in question), they are all are rated 16 PCI-E 2.0.  The standard 3.0 is more recent than the date of reference of the manufacturer of your PC.  Some PCI-E 3.0 might be OK in this motherboard but make sure that they are backward compatible.

  • Absolutely the best possible upgrade for a Dell Dimension C521 graphics card?

    I've been upgraded to a Dell Dimension C521, that I use as a general computer and play games.

    I know that he will never play in recent games, although with the x 1300 pro that was in it when I got it I have successfully played 2 games or 3 years and more. Runs of Prince of Persia: the forgotten sands, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Darksiders without any problem (all parameters lowish and resolution 800 x 600).

    Since I got it I upgraded the CPU to an AMD Athlon 64 x 2 5600 + (Windsor) and the RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB, which has cost me about £25.

    I really want to update the graphics card to something better than the Radeon x 1300 Pro that I have atm. I am aware that the PSU is only 280W and I need a map of low profile for this machine, although I read Dell generally insufficiently misses their PSUS in any case. All the posts I can find here and elsewhere online seem to be old enough and I wanted to make sure that I had discovered so far had not become outdated.

    So far, I found that the recommended card is the Radeon HD 6570.

    Can anyone suggest something better? If not, can anyone suggest what specific version of the 6570 to get (Sapphire, Asus etc.) and the amount of memory to get with it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Can anyone suggest something better?

    XFX R7 240 Low Profile Ready

    30 watts TDP, against 54 watts TDP for the 6570. Faster, too.

    A version of the R7 240 GDDR5 will be even faster, but more money, as well.

  • want to upgrade of ram and if possible graphics card

    Hello

    I want to increase the ram to 8 GB

    I wanted to know is - what my laptop has 2 slots for ram?

    so I can add 4 GB of ram

    or I have to buy 8 GB

    and also what ram should I buy I mean the model

    can I update its graphics card?

    currently I have ATI Radeon HD5850

    Thank you

    There certainly two memory locations and with 4 gigs, there probably 2 x 2, but you can run a diagnostics like CPU - Z program to check or just open the Bay of great utility and watch. If it is 2 x 2, you will need to launch the memory and install 2 x 4 to get 8.

    We need the exact model number to be sure to direct you to the correct RAM.

    There is no possible upgrade to the video.

  • Alienware x 51 R2 - 240W - graphics cards?

    Hello.

    I searched for a new graphics card to replace my 1 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645 for some time now, as the newest games is movie far the graphics "Runescape";).

    I was overlooking a large number of discussions and even tried to contact Dell directly, get them to send me an email of the graphics cards that I have in my current computer. I don't however have specific answers.

    So I was wondering if you guys could help out me :).

    My current Alienware X 51 R2 is running:
    240W power
    A 250V EURO power cord
    At 4th generation Intel Core processor i5-4430 (6 MB of Cache, up to 3.2 GHz with Turbo Boost technology)

    Now for the TL. DR

    If I want to trade my 1 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645 the best possible of GPU, which should go for?

    The map budget is important, but I would not go there for a new power supply or power cord, if possible :).

    • GTX 650
    • GTX 750
    • GTX 750 ti

    A GTX 950 peut be possible, but it's up to you if you think it is useful to do since it is the most powerful of the four mentioned. AMD options that will work with the block of power SUPPLY 240 w is not a price: performance that the Nvidia GPU are or could be recommended.

    If you have an "unlimited" budget, why do you resist wanting a bigger PSU (there is only one to choose the shape, and THST the PSU 330w for X 51 and Alienware laptops)?

  • HP pavilion p6226it: can I upgrade my pc with a new graphics card?

    Hi, I have a hp pavilion p6226it, I would like to know if the graphc 7750 HD card would go well on my old pc.

    matherboard: M2N78-(Violet6)

    Processor: AMD Athlon II X 4 620

    RAM: 6 GB

    Graphics card: HD 4650

    Same expert people told me that I could have problems because of my matherboard and bios (I've never updated), is this true?

    @antonmartino,

    Hi again.  Just below the section for memory you'll find.  What you can do is take existing specifications and the specifications of the motherboard and see what card maximum that you can put in the slot.  The only thing you want to look at is what is the power required by the new map you found and if the power supply has enough power to stay with her horse.  If you talk to any place of the computer with the specifications of this page, that I gave you, they can give you the best option.  What I do is take the listed specifications of the card and match the cards, in that you are looking to put.  Check to see if it's the same dwelling and look to see if they require the same requirement for voltage and they should work perfectly.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks again for the post and have a great day.

    If this isn't the case, please provide solutions.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    The GPU (graphics card update) is not possible because the chip is mounted and fixed on the motherboard
    There as a layout of motherboard design books is different as the mobo PC desktop motherboard specifications are already configured and it s not possible to change parts like GPU or CPU (in most cases)

    > Is there a product out of an external graphics from nVidia that I can use to update my video card, as an external video card?
    I googled everywhere and didn t find all external graphics cards from nVidia. I found other products but to be honest I don't know if you will get a performance using these improvements m external cards.

    Your machine is a product of CTO is why we do not find its specifications on the HP sites. Please check if she had a spare PCIe slot then any standard PCIe Firewire card should work. Normally the driver should come with the card.
