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.

  • Please help trouble Code 43 error graphics card for XPS 8700 (as well as the disappearance of sleep/Standby Mode) (Windows 10)

    I got my XPS in 2014 and my warranty of service completed in 2015 Jan before I installed Windows 10. So since I've upgraded to Windows 10 I started having problems with by XPS 8700. Now, I have no guarantee. I thought he would go better once they have released an update of the BIOS and it did for a while unfortunately in recent months, I noticed two major issues.

    (1) upon the starting and restarting my computer, my monitor does not end up receiving the signal from the computer and remains dark.

    -Checking that it is not a problem with the monitor by testing with other computers

    -J' checked in the Device Manager and there was a next yellow alert for graphic cards / NVIDIA GeForce GT 635

    -By clicking on, he showed me this: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

    Unfortunately, it is not the only problem with the graphics card.

    (2) "sleep" my mode is gone (it is related to graphics and BIOS).

    -J' tried the go in power to add setting but it was not yet listed.

    -I went to the command prompt and looked powercfg.exe that's what I discovered:

    C:\Windows\System32>Powercfg - a

    The following sleep States are available on this system:

    Now I really wish I could start or restart my pc without staring at a blank screen and the problem of code 43 with Nvidia GeForce GT 635. Also, I would if I could have the option to upgrade my PC to sleep. I really miss it and do not have to constantly reboot my computer to be able to see anything on the monitor.

    I hope someone can help me with these questions without having to reset the pc and reinstall, all over again, that the problem still exists in other cases (I don't have a copy of the installation of programs pre-installed dells so...). This computer is only 2 years old, it didn't need to be retired.

    NVIDIA GeForce GT 635 (PCI\VEN_10DE & DEV_1280) the card is physically wrong and needs to be replaced.

  • Burner Blu Ray for XPS 8700

    I recently purchased an 8700 XPS.  It is equipped with a Blu Ray player driver, and I couldn't customize my to get a Blu Ray burner.  So now I'm ready to buy an internal Blu-Ray burner to add to my system.

    I saw a Poineer unit that seems to be very high-spec - fast, with the latest features. The rate is $ 110 (USD).

    Reference Dell has an offering that I should?

  • 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 X51R2 options

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

  • Upgrade HD for XPS M1210 (Media Direct)

    Hello

    I read the whole forum, however I have still no answer to my question:

    Is it possible to upgrade my XPS M1210 installed HD (Hitachi Travelstar 80 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA) to a new and more BIG HD (Samsung HM 320JI, 320 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA)?

    I've read several threats on the problem with HD Dell Media Direct partition, but I have not found a solution.

    What I've done so far: changed HDs, (backup and restore with Acronis True Image Enterprise Server 9.1).

    The new HD works, but the System (BIOS) does not like a 320 HD, he still thinks that the HD has the same size as the old one (80 GB less a couple of GB).

    If there is no way to upgrade to a Dell laptop, there is no reason to buy Dell!

    Thanks for your help and answers

  • 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.

    http://www.Amazon.com/NVIDIA-GeForce-DisplayPort-PCI-Express-ZT-60901-10m/DP/B009AEL3JO/ref=sr_1_3?s...

    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.

  • XPS 8700 GPU upgrade

    My PC is the 8700 XPS, described in my GIS unit. Non-SE.

    Double boots both Windows 7 Pro and 8, secure boot disabled.

    Current GPU is the AMD Radeon 7570 (OEM) that comes with it. I see this same pattern can also run the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 645 (OEM). It's basically a quick replacement? Obviously, the PSU is OK, as the POWER 460 block is the same in all models.

    Will be one of the 6 pins that is not in use, it will take if yes, is it important that we? I noticed that they are numbered differently, probably just to label a connection. I found them hidden behind the other sons.

    Finally, if everything is compatible, should I use the current Dell supplied drivers for the stability of the system (all the installed drivers are provided Dell), or I let NVIDIA auto detect & install?

    This has been a great PC for me, the XPS 8700 packs a lot of power in a mid-size Tower. Just, I want better video & don't want to deal with swaps of power supply, which could void my warranty.

    Thank you very much for any help given.

    Unfortunately, you will need to move to a GTX 660 to get a display port.  I'd go with the HD 7770 HERE that is actually better than the GTX 650 for about the same cost.

  • Advice needed for new XPS 8700

    Hello

    My old XPS 8100 bit the dust, and I am currently using an old Inspiron.

    I was watching the 'Special Edition' XPS 8700 - good price and specifications, but he offers victory 8.1 with a free upgrade to win10. Other 8700 XPS comes pre-installed with Win10, but the specs are not as attractive.

    I'm intimidated by the prospect, not to download and install win10 BUT what scares me, is that the drivers for the video and audio might get all screwed up in the process.

    Can you give me advice about what to choose?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jane

    Hi Smiseel,

    If you like the specifications for the 8700 Special Edition, buy it. You have until July to free download Windows 10 next. You don't need to worry about installing drivers, you can come back to the forum and we will help you with it.

  • Dell XPS 8700 - Recommended 500W PSU +? (for GTX 970)

    Hi I have a dell xps 8700 currently equipped with a GTX 745, I want to upgrade to a GTX 970.

    I know that this has been a big problem in the past, but I just want to check a few things: is - it works even in the first place? Replace the power supply and update the BIOS to a10? I'm hoping to get a definitive right or close enough answer to the question of whether it works or not, especially since he was a few months after the last major discussion forums.

    And the main question, which is a recommended PSU is going well replace my current 460W one?

    CORSAIR CS750M works in every Dell I have ever installed in it.

    No power problem.  You may need to remove the optical drive so that you can get the old and the new, because it's a very tight fit.

    Once in the optical drive can back up.

    550W is too small.  Generic 550W power supply is ACE is NOT GOOD as the Dell 305 w PSU.

    The EPS12V 2.92 specification guarantees 170w combined on the 5V / 3.3V rails and 20W on the 5VSB and 45 amps on a single 12V rail.

    Note on the label for the Dell they provide 20W on the 5VSB.

    That's why I recommend an EPS12v Corsair CS750M

    You need a certified Power Supply EPS12V 2.92

    Supply Dell 20-25W + 5VSB and most of the cheapo units have 10W or less.   Dell Supply guaranteed 130 to 180W on 3.3v / 5v rail and other are not.

    Minimum recommended unit is CORSAIR CS750M.
