Upgrade GPU for X51R2 options

Here is my current setup:

System model: Alienware X 51 R2
BIOS: A07
Processor: Intel Core i7 - 4790K CPU @ 4.00 GHz (8 CPUs), ~4.0GHz
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Track type: GeForce GTX 960

The power of 330 watts supplied with my computer. Are there options for a GPU upgrade? I'm crossing this threshold GTX 970 so that I can use an Oculus Rift with this computer.

Thank you!

The GTX 970 will work, and to be honest, it would be the best option without having to make any changes.

  • Upgrade GPU for XPS 8700

    As the title says, I have a question about the Dell XPS 8700. I wanted to update the graphics card and after browsing through the forum, I think I already know the answer, but would have an EVGA GeForce GTX 960 to adapt and be compatible.

    The dimensions of the GPU are 4.38 inches x 10.1 inches x 2 inches with a request for a power of 400 W.

    There is an entire thread dedicated to the XPS 8700 / nVidia GTX upgrade.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/t/19611037

    you don't need to upgrade the power supply for a GTX 960, and most will fit.

    Regarding the power supply, I went with Seasonic X - 650 s and they are a little longer than the original but adapt easily.

  • Upgrade GPU for Studio XPS 435MT and indine power load max

    Hi, I have a Studio XPS 435MT with a 360W power supply and an ati radeon HD4800 series GPUs (likely a 4850). I want to improve the gpu with a gpu from Gainward GeForce GTX 750 2 GB (one slot), GDDR5. It uses just 55W and there is no external power supply plug, the HD4800, but in the GTX card appears: minimum 300W or more system power supply (with a minimum of 12V current rating of 20A). And I do not know if this 20 a could be a problem, because my Delta DPS-360FB-1 diet doesn't seem to reach the rated current.

    What do you suggest me?

    Thank you

    combined maximum 12V 12VA and 12VB output for this unit is 300W which is 25, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

    If you draw 20 amps on the 12v rail you used 240W leaving 60W for everything else that needs 12V.

    And if you use 300W on the 12v rail that leaves 60W max for the 5v / 3.3V through less 10W to + 5VSB.

    GTX 750 will be in this case either well, or it does not at all due to the lack of power on one or more tracks.

    HD4850 certainly consumes MORE energy than a GTX750 so that only one point of view, it should be good.

  • Upgrade GPU for HP P-7 1154

    Hi, sorry if this has been previously answered could not find anything on the forums, but I'm currently buy parts for the computer I bought this summer which is a HP p-7 1154. I was wondering if there is a maximum length regarding the cards, you can use on this system? I'm more so worried whether or not the cards that I'm currently looking will fall on the RAM slots or not.

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion p7-1154. According to specifications, your computer has a slot PCIe x 16 graphics v2.x and a 300 Watt power supply. In a little less than 8 inches long, all these cards should fit into your system without problem. They won't fall on the memory locations, but you may need to remove the map to add new DIMM modules. You will also need the slot PCIe x 1 next to the graphics slot empty.

    However, to power these new cards, you will need improved supply. It seems that the cards you want to recommend a 500 watt power supply system. I would recommend Corsair CX500, or CX600, as both of these power units are consistantly recommended and known to fit most HP consumer.

  • Has anyone got the upgrade of GPU for H8-1234 with motherboard HP M3970AM HP (Angelica2)?

    I improved my diet for a Corsair CX series CX500M 500W ATX 80 Plus Bronze modular power supply 12V successfully and I want to assure you that I have buy a compatible GPU for the motherboard.

    If I go to http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/HP/HP_M3970AM-HP (Angelica2) _ / 2042 and click on compatible GPU it lists AMD and Nvidia cards.

    The series of HD AMD goes up to the HD6000 series and does not list any HD 7000 series.

    The only Nvidia 600 series which is decent is the GeForce GTX-660-670-680 or 690.

    The site also shows (these graphics cards have an appropriate interface to work with and integrate into the HP M3970AM - (Angelica2). Because this motherboard does not have a GPU chip on board, we have also limited GPU integrated only to those which are integrated to die of a CPU.)

    Cards GTX listed are all much more expensive than 650 Ti DirectCU OC Boost 1085 MHZ 2 GHz 6.0 GB GDDR5 2xDVI card PCI-E HDMI DP that is not listed or even GTX550 TI, which is not listed

    The Amd HD listed series cards are unavailable or more expensive than most of the HD 7000 series.

    Has anyone successfully installed a card $ 100 from low to medium priced which is a significant improvement on the hd 7450? If you could please let me know what graphics card you purchaced.

    Thank you

    Gbrown13, welcome to the forum.

    The limiting factor for the video card upgrade is the power supply unit (PSU).  It is 300W.  Intermediate level maps latest require at least 400W to work properly.  7450 HD comes with the computer has been designed for HP operate with OEM PSU.  A detail 7450 HD very probably would not work.  In addition, you should limit the length of the video card to no more than 9 ".  This ensures that it fits in the space provided.  The majority of the double cards are 1.5 "wide.  These are normally without any problems.

    I hesitate to recommend a video card on the grounds that it will be much better than an existing map.  It is difficult to say that this is the case.  Here is a map which might work for you, with an upgrade of the power supply.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.

    Oh, ok. You asked if the gpu could be improved, not the cpu. Thank you for pointing this out. Of the record, this has an A8-3800 AMD inside. I don't think this can be improved more. I see that other models with processor A6, but the highest I see here is the A8 processor that you already have. The motherboard is usually designed for certain processors and it seems that it is the highest it can go. I hope this helps.
