What GTX 960 should I use to upgrade my Dell XPS 8900

I recently purchased the following Dell 8900

X 8900-3756BLK Dell XPS desktop (6th generation Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 2 TB HARD + SSD of 32 GB drive) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 with 4 GB DDR3

I would like to replace the graphics card (I flight sim a lot) with a GTX 960 4 GB of DDR5 memory card, either myself or have a computer repair place do it.

What are specific cards would be easier to install in my machine - if I get 960 GTX, I see all sorts of cards of different lengths, 1 and 2 fans, etc.

I want to buy the next card, if it must be installed easily...

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4 GB GDDR5 PCiE graphics cards GV-N960OC-4GD

A new graphics card would be difficult to install myself?   What is involved?

Thank you

Steve

The 8900 XPS and 8700 share the same case so if you look in this thread, you will see the cards that match and cut cards requiring a certain case.

en.Community.Dell.com/.../19611037

I can personally attest to the MSI GTX 970 games 4 GB fits so check the size (length and height) and less it should fit without a problem.

If you can wait a few weeks or perhaps a month, the GTX 1080 seems to be a surprising card to the prize draw and power. It's going to be a little more expensive, but much more capable.

The installation is easy. search for youtube videos and you should find one.

Edit: and you can sell your GTX 745 on ebay and recoup some of the cost.

  • Looking to update the graphics card in my Dell XPS 8900 EVGA GeForce GTX 960.

    I have a Dell XPS 8900 Special Edition that I bought a few months ago. I want to upgrade the OEM GeForce 745 of GTX that it came with an EVGA GTX 960.

    I have the Dell XPS 8900 (processor i7 - 6700 k), 32 GB of memory, 2 TB HDD + SSD of 32 GB m2, monitor cache Dell UP2516D and Windows 10 Pro. I'll add a second monitor Dell UP2516D soon and later add an SSD and move the OS and applications on.

    My needs are not at stake. I mainly business applications (MS-Office, including access and project), finance and investment, and a lot of photo and video editing.  Photo editing software uses the GPU if I update.

    EVGA has suggested either of the following, based on what would be good:

    http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-1961-KR

    http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-3963-KR

    These cards are almost identical except;

    #1 is long of 6.8 ", has 1 BIOS, 1 fan and use 128 watts for $160

    #2 is 10.1 "long, has 2 BIOS, 2 fans and consume 160 watts for $170

    I thought I would replace the graphics card myself, but once I opened the folder, I was wondering if the two cards will even fit.  I saw that other people have swapped their graphics card, so it must be possible.

    When I look in my case, the existing graphics card is a single location.  These two cards are double slot.  In addition, it seems that there are a few transistors just next to the existing card.  When you install a card double slot, the new map is just overlap the transistors under?

    Finally, in view of these two cards and the XPS 8900 case, is it possible to put the card in?  Is it worth the extra $ 10 earn an extra BIOS and fan, to the detriment of one more card of time and 12 watts?

    Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Dual cards fit without any problem. Many have improved their 8900 XPS and 8700 with cards that need two slots of width.

    I prefer the models dual fan as they run cooler. They have a bigger heat sink and with relatively low heat from GTX 960, some are silent at idle because the fans do not work.

    For example, MSI GTX 970 son fan only above a certain temp that only happens every game. Maybe the EVGA card did the same thing. It is nice to have a quiet system at idle.

    Regarding the adjustment, the MSI GTX 970 games 4 G card Dimensions are (mm) 140 x 277 x 35. Length and height are tight but it fits without cutting.

    In addition, as noted speedstep you run SATA cables under the card. I replaced the SATA cables with longer cables, so they route toward the front of the box, then under the graphics card and upward.

    This thread has many cards different people have added. (the link is on page 26) and about the halfway point is my son with the MSI GTX 970 system, which (I think) is slightly larger that the EVGA 960 you listed.  It also shows the case mod to add a front fan.

  • What field / class should I use to create a mobile rectangle?

    Hello

    I want to create a rectangle that people can focus on, and when it's to the point, people can scroll to the left or right to move the rectangle left and right. What field or the object or the class should I use?

    Thank you!

    I noticed that too.  However, since the BB is double buffered, I'm not sure you save anything in fact.  As you move your rectangle, you would have to redraw where it was anyway.

    This treatment is all done in the paint of the screen method so effectively treats the screen as a large Bitmap.

    If you have created a field for yourself, you could add that field to a Manager, then use this Manager to place this field on the screen and then move.  In fact, it would be fairly simple.  But to do this, you must create a manager who knew how to move the field, then move the field whenever you wanted to move.  Then painting everything would be done by another person (i.e. the Manager and the field.)  In my opinion, costs, overhead and complication just to draw a rectangle of mobile, is excessive.  However if you plan to put different data in the Rectangle, such as text and therefore might want to use a real field of BB to help with its interior design.  To help you with this, I suggest you only consider these three KB articles:

  • What file type should I use?

    Hi all

    Finally, I build my book. Using elements 10 as my first. My workflow starts by creating a new file (file/new/white)

    I just finished the first page and to make sure I saved it as PDF, PNG, and JPEG. When all pages are made I'll print locally. I think that JPEG will be useful and this first page is only 8MB. I have decided that my other type of file should be, who will be the file that print. The PNG and PDF files were 60MB each. Should I continue to record as both? I'll probably go back and re-edit as well. Thank you.

    You have two issues:

    In order to re - edit later, save it as a TIFF or PSD (elements native file format).  These file formats maintain your layers and masks, so a re-Edition is a snap.

    When it's time to print, talk to the print shop that you'll use and ask them what file format they prefer.  Most places can manage PDF files.

  • What channel configuration should I use: nickname?

    I have three terminals of signal; a, a V0 and a V1, with V0 and V1 measured relative to the ground terminal common ground.  There is some contamination of noise in the environment, so I can't ignore the field common and just wire V0 as the Center wire and the V1 as the "field..." I need the wire Earth for the shield.

    I want to measure V1 - V0.  I am writing a custom c# application.  It is important to keep as quiet as possible readings and keep the calculations as simple as possible (I know, use C++, not c#, not my choice).

    I think that my best option is to configure A0 to read V0 and A1 to read V1, as signals Pseudo-differentiels and then in my find code V1 - V0.  Is this correct? I read the post about the configuration of terminal on the Web site of NOR, but I want to just make sure.

    This perhaps relates to the question, but maybe not:

    I use an acquisition of data USB-9234.

    I don't need the sensor excitation.

    V0 and V1 are band including 10 Hz - 1 kHz with analog filters, low noise (slot 50uV), and the signal of interest is band including 65 Hz - 120 Hz.  Voltage max gnd - V0, V1 - V0 and V1 - gnd are all +/-5V.

    The signals are low impedance (~ 10ohms).

    Thanks for your thoughts!

    Hey jcsquire!

    You are using a configuration entry Pseudo-differentiels if you want to reduce your sound.  Username is very hard to minimize the ground loops that lead to more specific measures.  With the help of this configuration, I think you would have to measure both independently and deduct out them then maintain your sheilding with the soil line.

    In summary, it looks like you know what you're doing.
