What is a simple but effective update to the XPS 8500 video card? (Computer complete Newb)


Hello Dell Community. I read through the sticky XPS compatibility and some discussions on upgrading video cards. However, I couldn't find something that fits my needs. If you all can help me with this, would be great!

Characteristics of the computer:

  • Dell Xps 8500
  • Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHZ
  • 16 GB of Ram
  • 64-bit operating system
  • AMD Radeon HD 7570

Needs:

  • Run newer games of 2014/2015 without lag on medium to high heat (GTA V)
  • Relatively easy to install (remove some screws and paste the video card in and voila!)
  • No need to upgrade the power supply

Budget is $ 200-250:

  • Obviously the lower the better and if need be, the budget is flexible. Depends on if the gain is important for the payment of the sum.

Look forward to your answers!

Thank you

Richard

A card that I know works is $200 would be

EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0 + 2GB GDDR5 128 bit 02 G-P4-2966-KR that it comes with a 2 X 6 pin cable 8 pin Y so the stock power should be good.

more than 2 GB will not improve the map and it will increase the price.

Don't get me wrong although it won't make a video full screen 4K.

To 3-way SLI GTX 980 and a power of 1500W power supply in an area 51 triad.

    I try to upgrade my old vista laptop to win7, but don't remember the product key for my computer compaq laptop. How can I get this key?

    Hello

    Your question is not very clear to understand.

    If Vista is preinstalled on your laptop, this product key is NOT for Windows 7.

    There is a free upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 years, but that offer expired for a long time.

    How does the Windows 7 upgrade Option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your Windows 7 update will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Option of upgrade Windows 7 program runs from June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option.

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, but it does NOT come for free.

    Try Amazon.com, etc.

    ___________________________________________________________

    And if you ask to transfer the license of Windows 7 from a mobile to another laptop:

    You tell us what type of license you have.

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  • When I insert my recovery disk its Blanck, but if I used the same disc in another computer I can see the content inside

    Original title: DVD RW drive

    I'm having a problem with my computer toshiba M645. When I insert my recovery disk its Blanck, but if I used the same disc in another computer I can see the contents inside. I try inserting the disk dvd movies and it will play normally. Please give me help with this problem because I want to get my phone to the sound out of the box state. Thank you.

    Hello

    The drive came with the laptop or you did it yourself in the recovery Partition?

    And you're supposed to boot from the recovery disc to start the recovery process.

    You change the Boot order to make the CD/DVD drive first in the boot order. Then, you start from the disc.

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    And as a way to re - install with most of the Toshibas, you press 0 (zero) to start to start the process of recovery back to settings factory (new State) of the recovery Partition.

    See you soon.

  • Has no updated BIOS - Dell XPS 8500

    I went to the product page Dell for my computer - Dell XPS 8500 and ran the scan to check the updates.  3 updates, one of them for the BIOS.  I ran the update and launched the update of the BIOS.  To halfway through she seemed to have hung up and my machine froze.  I left for an hour, came back and no still no luck.

    So I rebooted the machine, and of course now it does not start upward.  I have power and can hear the fan but no lights on the box and no input screen.

    Looking in the manual and on this forum, I tried to reset the BIOS jumpers and remove the CMOS battery.  When I rebooted I saw lights on the box this time, but it stops after 30 seconds and now back to the same problem.

    From what I've read on this forum I'm SOL unless I have buy a new motherboard.

    Just thought I would check to see if anyone has any other suggestions.  If not, where can I get a new motherboard for this?  The product page for my model it does not list as an option...

    Thanks for your help!

    When your warranty has expired? If it has expired less than 6 months ago, you pourriez able to get Dell to solve this problem, assuming they can get the Board of Directors. They had a policy to replace a Board - only once - if she does not have a Dell BIOS update within 6 months after the end of the warranty. I don't know if this policy still exists.

    Those are all different revisions of the same motherboard. I don't know what the differences are. They could be as simple as a different provider for one of the components on the card all the way to a change in the circuit layout.

    Maybe Dell spare parts can talk you about the differences among the 3 or at least tell you which is the most recent revision, even if they do not have boards the...?

    All three supports H77 chipset which is a key issue.

    Look at your motherboard for the thumbnail see what version you have now. If you don't know the specific differences, you can get one that is the same version, assuming that it is one of the possible choices.

    You should look elsewhere if the Impact is not the revision you want and/or for price comparisons. And always ask if the Board is new, used, refurbished and warranty.

  • Aspire the XC-605 video card update

    Hi all

    I recently bought an Aspire XC-605 and I need help, so I hope you guys can help out me. It comes with an integrated only video card. I wanted to update the graphs so I bought a card Asus HD 6450 Silent PCIe. I installed the card and booted the computer and nothing appears on the screen any card (Asus or integrated) I plug the HDMI cable.

    Do not know how to proceed at this point. I went into the BIOS to see if I could disable the onboard graphics, but there is no other choice. I think that maybe it's a power issue? I don't know anything about power supplies, but certainly one that comes with the system is not standard size.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi pchandra

    The video card you have is a low power card - it needs about 75 watts and draws its power from the PCIe slot, so your XC-605 feeding should be enough.

    There may be a problem with the graphics card. I suggest to try the card in another PC to rule out a problem with it. If it does not work in the second PC, the card will be replaced.

    If there is no setting in the BIOS, it adjusts automatically, usually the output, so if you insert a card, it will default to it. Similarly, if you delete it, it should default to the integrated graphics card.

    Try the card in another PC and let us know how you get on...

  • Studio XPS 9100 video card update

    Hello

    I currently own a Studio XPS 9100, I am looking to update my video to a Nvidia GTX 660 card. My first choice of the map would be the GIGABYTE GV-N660OC-2GD, but I am concerned about cooling in my case, since it's a map outdoors. The card that's in there now is the Radeon HD 5770 standard with a closed around the map case. I know the case of XPS 9100 doesn't have a lot of fans and I wonder if I'd be better off getting a card with a case like the one that is there now, those who are better for internal cooling cases or are the two models of cards very well to use this system without modification?

    This card should work, but as you said would be throwing air hot back on the case and may not be the best for a stock case, unless you upgraded your fans or have a power supply that can compensate for the extra heat.  Should work well.   If you keep your machine in a well-ventilated vs in a Cabinet, you should be ok.

    If not, opt for one of these reference maps which has the shroud designed to channel air on the back of the card,

  • XPS 420, video card update without changing the power supply

    So I recently did some changes on my Dell XPS 420.  The processor is the same that had been originally purchased, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz, but I upgraded the RAM 6 GB and spin as a Windows 10 Insider Preview OS 64-bit on a partition with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on another partition.  I've also added a new 2 to HARD drive, a USB 3.0 PCI Express card and thinking about getting a 500 GB Samsung SSD EVO. Here's my question though, and it is a video card...

    I want to upgrade the video card, but don't know much about them.  I don't want to touch the food, and I want to just install a new video card.  I do not play video games a large part at all, but I stream videos from my PC if it matters that I've seen people suggest GTX Nvidia as well as the Sapphire HD 7770 550Ti, but I've also seen some people said these cards require greater power than my machine so I am confused.  What is a good affordable video card that would be worth upgrading for me?

    I appreciate any info that can be provided, thanks!

    The TI 750 will not harm your diet or your portfolio. The R7 250 is $99 and the 750 TI is $ 139. It is in the middle between the really cheap and good performance.

  • Update on Satellite A300-15J video card

    Thank you.

    > it is possible to change a video card in the given model.
    NO!

    It s certainly not possible to update a portable s graphics card.
    In most cases, the GPU is soldered on the card and it s not removable!

  • What happens if I disable Internet Explorer or the XPS Viewer? (Windows 7)

    Greetings,

    Whenever I do a reformat, when I get to the step of optimization, I'm very tempted to turn off Internet Explorer and XPS Viewer (in the Turn Windows features On or Off section of the program manager).  However, they both say a warning that they are used with other parts of Windows.

    Has anyone experienced with this?  What would he do?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, you want to disable Internet Explorer and XPS viewer on your system and when you try to do, you get a message indicating that they can be used by other applications on windows.

    That statement is correct, because they could be used by other applications. For example, if you try to open a link by using any third party browser, this link would automatically open in the default browser and if you default browser is Internet Explorer, you must have Internet Explorer installed on your system. and same thing with the XPS Viewer while opening the XPS document.

    However, you can disable these two from your computer by changing the default programs associated with them.

    Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • Object that can be bound but not updated when the value changes

    I have an object that is declared as [Bindable], which is updated in a component that is also declared as [Bindable] However, when the value is changed the user interface shows the change but the linked object never gets updated.

    Are there cases where related objects do not updated?

    Yes, as I said, pass the name of the property and the value in the change manager.

    Support rating allows you to set the value, not a switch statement. Some examples of code.
