XPS 8300 and GTX 980 Ti

Hello

I have an a XPS 8300, I was wondering if it will work with a GTX 980 Ti assuming that:

  • Power supply is upgraded (already have)
  • fits in the case (go to check)
  • Updated BIOS (I'm sure that I have of the A06 Bios will check)
  • have minimum 8G of ram (I do).
  • Still using Win 7.

from what I've read, 980 seems to work if you have the above. What about a Ti 980?

is there anything else I should be worried?

Thank you

On this page there was a guy by the name of "SlimJ87D" who put a 980ti in a 8700 successfully. I think it's basically the same deal.

Unfortunately, due to the connectors being the end of the map that they were under the metal aside for him then, he said, it was not enough space to put in the pin connectors, while his shear part of the metal that you see in the picture he posted on this page that I linked.

You may need to do the same thing that ti 980 you get. He used the MSI file that is listed as 5.51 inches in height.

A smaller in size might very well fit. Here "agentblue" said the ti-980 EVGA adapt without the need to change the case. The ti PNY 980 is similar in size to the EVGA so it would probably be good too. Most of the others seem to be larger.

  • NVidia Geforce GTX 960 in XPS 8300

    Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card Radeon HD 6450 in my XPS 8300 a GTX 960 (specifically, the edition of Strix ASUS) and I have a few questions:

    He enters the case? (dimensions of the card: 21.52 x 12.12 x4.09 centimeters)

    Will it work with the motherboard? (the card is pcie 3.0)

    It will work with food? (460w power supply card 'up to 150W additional 6-pin PCIe consumption)

    Sorry if I look like a noob but this is my first time upgrading a platform.

    Thank you!

    The graphics card:

    www.Asus.com/.../

    The stock answer from Dell, it's that they tested only a handful of older cards.

    The reality is that many have done on an 8300. Search this forum and see what worked.

    Insofar as the PSU, yes the stock PSU THAT will work with a GTX 960. It has a PCI power with two cable six pins on the connectors. If the specific card you choose has a connector 8 pins, most of the cards equipped with a 8 pin adapter 6.

    I'm not 100% on the supply POWER 8300 has two six pin PCI connector.  Best to open the case and look. I thought the 8500, a member of the family was when I wrote this.

    But, how old is your system, and how much time it runs a day that it might be time to consider a new power supply. If so, search the forums for what everyone puts in their 8300, 8700 or 8900 again. They are in the same case and best I can tell essentially the same power supply.

    Another advantage of upgrading the PSU will be slightly more efficient and quieter.

    I upgraded to Seasonic X - 650 s of my 8700 s two and have the OEM in a box as a spare for the members of the family.

    So, while I'm spending your money, you might consider a GTX 970. Prices are down because the next generation of cards is almost here. If you're game, you can consider a little more power under the hood of the GPU.

  • Radeon 300 in XPS 8300 Series

    Hi all

    I have a XPS 8300 and think to upgrade the video card in it. I swapped the card Dell 6000 specific for a 7850 series, a year or two before, but with the release of the new 300 series of AMD cards, I think to upgrade again.

    With the age of the XPS 8300, these new cards will cause problems, or they are basically plug-and-play as my 7850 was?

    The individual 960 EVGA GTX 02 G-P4-2966-KR 960 2 GB 128 - Bit GDDR5 SuperSC ACX 2.0 + video card I bought probably will work fine.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814487091

    A 970 or 980 could not, and would require a new power supply.  The 525W in my T3400 unit works very well with my 960 using 2 6 pins for power adapter 8 pin that comes with the card.

  • Dell XPS 8300 GPU issues

    I had a Dell XPS 8300 since 2011.

    The specifications are:

    Image Intel i7-2600 3.4ghz processor

    460W POWER supply

    8 GB RAM

    Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 5670 1 GB GDDR5

    My problem is that my video card is dead after 4 years and I need a replacement as good, or better, for less than $100. At first, I thought it was easy. Ordered a GT 730, a card nice entrance a little better than the 5670 range and more efficient power and he went through the installation process. The AMD drivers, uninstalled, change video card and it fits perfectly. The problem is that I just get a black screen on startup or, sometimes, the Dell splash screen.

    After hours of research I discovered that this won't work because the motherboard, 0y2mrg and it's bios, A06, are incompatible with the new GPU. Seriously? Rarely have I never heard of this problem. The last update is in 2011, the same year that I got this PC when it was new. What the hell with the lack of support?

    Whether it is, I'll find something which is compatible, but unnecessarily difficult. Those who have asked the same question to be taken from a few years ago and expired or no response. I've seen the Dell has approved the cards and they are ridiculously overpriced for what they are. The 5670 is a super card low-end and was again released as a back then, but Dell wants to sell for more than $200? If I try to look for it on other sites, like Amazon or Newegg, it is almost impossible to find or too expensive.

    My question is this, what is a good video card that costs more than $100 - $110 that works with the card mother Dell XPS 8300 and requires no other parts to change?

    Yes, I actually. The variant 750 GTX & it worked perfectly. I guess that something more old than they would be too much like GTX 780 if you wanted something strong, but you would probably need a bigger power supply. The GT 720 and 730 WON'T WORK if you wanted a less expensive solution. The GTX 750 TI is perfect as a modest solution however.

  • Person we know what power supply is on the XPS 8300

    Hello

    I have a Dell XPS 8300 and you want to buy a video card double to support two monitors.  I read a few different items to a 500 Watt power supply.  I looked on the delivery, when I bought the 8300, but it does not show the power.  Other than opening the case, is there a way I can find food that is installed?

    Thank you!!!

    I think it's the same thing that the 8500 is 460W, which has two six pin PCIe power connectors.

    What exact card do you?

    In addition, if you have not opened the file in a while, you could do this (outside) with a can of compressed clean air on the dust bunnies.

  • XPS 8300 - Ivy Bridge & RAM support

    I tried looking for a forum, post, comment... anything which confirms what is the maximum RAM supported in a Dell XPS 8300 and also whether Ivy Bridge CPU are taken in charge or not.

    I am yet to find anything conclusive (Please share if you have), so, I did the test myself and can confirm the following:

    • Ivy Bridge CPU compatibility: No.
    • Maximum RAM: 32 GB

    I tested my 8300 XPS with Intel Core i7-3770 processor (8 M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz) and the system would not POST. No beep codes; just would not AFTER. Then I'm under BIOS A06, of course, this has not helped. I read on this forum someone talking about a BIOS A07 which came bundled with their XPS 8300 (0Y2MRG) of replacement motherboard. If anyone knows how to get this BIOS A07 I'd like to get my hands on it to see if it offers support of Ivy Bridge.

    Regarding the RAM, I am running 32 GB of RAM without problem. I use 4 x G.Skill RipJawsX 8 GB (1x8GB) 1333 MHz DDR3 PC3 - 10666C 9 Memory Sticks (F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL). The BIOS and OS the two report 32 GB installed and everything works well.

    I hope someone benefits from my findings and I also hope that someone out there has access to the BIOS A07 is ready to share.

    You already know the answer, but I share this as another data point and using another brand for memory.

    Maximum RAM supported Dell for this system is 16 GB. However, it works very well with 32 GB of RAM. I've used this kit of memory in mine:

    Corsair XMS3 32 GB (4X8Go) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) memory (CMX32GX3M4A1333C9) Fund

    No doubt others works fine, too. The only downside is that most Dells would come with Windows 7 Home Premium installed and which only allows access to 16 GB of RAM. You must have Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition to access all 32 GB of RAM. You can make the Windows Anytime Upgrade to buy Win7 Pro if you want to go this route, it as if by magic basically makes your existing install in Win7 Pro, so you don't have to reinstall anything.

    If you put more than 16 GB in a system of Home Premium, when you right click on computer and go to properties, you will see the memory listed as 32 GB (16 GB usable). So the operating system you will see everything, it just won't let you USE it all. Hard, there is?

    I had looked at this issue and not have anything solid for an answer so I tried myself and write about my success.

  • XPS 8300: Install new hard drive 3 TB BSOD results after imaging but not after Win7 clean

    I have a XPS 8300 and the original Seagate 2 TB hard drive is dead. Because being forced to install a new HARD drive, I opted for 3 TB and bought a WD because I had horrible luck with Seagate repeatedly.

    Anyway, I installed the new HARD drive and booted from the Windows 7 64 bit Pro installation disc and attached my external drive to backup and choose the backup image to the new disk. It completed without error, but when the computer restarts, I get a blue screen of death with the 7B stop code. I tried to put the HARD drive in a box and attached to another computer, and all my image files are there so I know that the computer was able to write the image to the new HARD disk. How to fix the BSOD errors? I set to update to the latest version of the BIOS (A06) but always the blue screen. I tried to install the latest Intel drivers also and which does not seem to do anything.

    Frustrated, I installed Windows 7 clean on this drive and I am writing this message from him. The drive appears in my computer as a 2 TB. Disk Management displays 100 MB System Reserved Partition, Partition C: of 2047 GB and 746 GB unallocated.

    Why a new installation does not seem to work (I know that I would have to format the 746 GB to use it and to give it a new drive letter) but the imagery that the disc breaks down. What Miss me?

    I've seen a lot of posts on using Intel drivers to solve similar problems. These drivers get breaths during the imaging process? Should they be installed before the imagery of the backup? (Thought that I did, but maybe I didn't do it right - their installation can be verified before the disk imaging?) Tried to call Dell and Windows support... am no where in a hurry.

    Hi LG1382,

    You cannot start Windows 7 on a 3 TB drive. You can use it for data, but not as the system drive. Windows 7 can only start TPG on systems with BIOS UEFI, which does not the 8300.

  • Dell XPS 9100 compatible with Nvidia GTX 980/970?

    All the world either of these new cards video 980/970 series installed in a dell xps 9100? Or whether they will work with the 9100, in particular motherboard/bios original card?

    I plan to upgrade my studio xps Dell 9100 (2010 I7 930 12 GB of ram, motherboard Dell 05DN3X Intel X 58 Intel ICH10R) with a new video card in replacement of the Radeon HD 5870. My choice of card is the new Nvidia GTX 970.

    The GTX 970 and 980 GTX are based on the new Maxwell Nvidia cards with high specifications on page and good price. While they are not suitable for the power of the XPS 9100 (two GTX cards consume less energy than the 5870), I don't know if my original xps 9100 motherboard (with a bios updated from July 2014 on the site of dell driver) is compatible with the gtx 970. BIOS office 8700 recent Dell was not compatible/created a problem of black screen, and Dell has released a updated Bios updated for the 8700 in December 2014 that apparently works fine now with the 980/970 series. I wouldn't drop the $350 on a video card that didn't work with my 9100

    I use the Dell 9100 for video editing (Sony Vegas Pro 13, Hitfilm 3, NewBlue and other programs based GL/CL) works more 3d animation with iclone (who prefer Nvidia). I could probably get another year or two out of it with a newer video card... otherwise I'll put all useful to a construction of the self.

    I'd appreciate any comments on it. Maybe Chris from Dell of this forum would know that he shares the fix for dell bios enabled the 980 work with 8700.  Thanks to Chris if he answers or if he can answer my question gtx 970 for me and other 9100 owners.

    Just this moment installed a MSI gtx 970 in my 3 1/2 years, xps 9100. Original motherboard. The only thing I've really updated over the years is the memory.

    Processor Intel Core i7-960 @3. 2 GHz (8 MB L2 Cache)
    16 GB OF RAM, DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-12800
    NVIDIA GeForce (r) GTX 970 4 GB
    Dell XPS 9100 desktop
    Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) SP1

    525 Watt POWER supply was more than enough. You must use both the point 6 and point 8 plugs not one or the other. Biggest problem was to find a second source of power. The 6 + 2 plug, but don't think that the other was there. He was and is buried in the middle of a wire harness. A sheet of plain to 6 points. Just enough.

    It works like a charm. Not at all of the start-up problems

  • 760 GTX even power req as GTX 560TI for XPS 8300?

    My XPS 8300 has a GTX 560 TI originally equipped.

    IAM thinking of upgrading to a 760 GTX but all the messages suggest the Dell power supply will need to be upgraded. The thing is, when I look at the GeForce site for specifications, it says that both cards have the same characteristics of power, map max 170 watt and the power of 500 watts min, which is more that I understand Dell ships with, but Ive never had a problem with the 560, in fact the specifications of the Geforce show 210 watt for oem 560.

    Don't you think that I'll be able to run the 760 if the 560ti has been authorized?

    What about any other matter, I read such as to the incompatibility of the bios?

    The XPS 8300 has the power of 460 watts.  The system provides up to 225 watts for video cards using 2 PCIe power connectors.  The Dell OEM GTX 560 Ti won't have the same characteristics as a retail card, however.  It is more likely uses less energy than the information you find on retail cards.   Theoretically, this should work since both have approximately the same energy consumption.  Have a 460 watt PSU vs having a 500-watt power supply will not make a difference here.  Dell POWER supply can most likely culminate at 500 watts in any case if necessary, but she won't be necessary.  It is up to you, but I wouldn't have a problem, give it a try.  Compatibility with a Dell bios or motherboard is another story and XPS models have had their fair share of it.

    I have a 660 s Dell with just a 220 Watt power supply.  Two video cards, I used in this system have said that a requirement of POWER 400 watts PSU and both worked very well.  It's a difference of 180 watts compared to the 40 watts you have.  As long as you know what really are the electrical needs of the video card, you can essentially determine whether a map will work or not.

  • GTX 980 and no splash screen

    I have a ti GTX 980 flashed running in a Mac Pro(on external power) 2010. It shows only a splash screen, however, so I attach a No 4 k monitor DVI port. Monitors Dell P2415Q 4 k (except for a random time) show no video until the initialization is complete. This means that I must keep an old DVI monitor on all the time to get not only the splash screen but even to get any video output at all on end of startup. Without a monitor DVI the Dells don't show any video and go mode 'sleep'. Bootcamp Windows 7 displays the same behavior. Any ideas?

    How the P2415Q is normally connected? If you try HDMI then try rather Displayport.

    If your card was flashed did buy you it from MacVidCards? If so, ask them for assistance.

  • MAC PRO and Geforce GTX 980 ti

    I just bought a ti GTX 980 (only not flashed to mac). My MAC PRO 2010 IN Yosemite 10.10.5 system is supposed to have the latest drivers from quadro 4000 and k5000 as web base drivers where my new ti 980 should work, but the only response from switching on the computer is a black screen. I don't know what I have to do to get into the system or activate the drivers. I don't like to see the logo of apple or bootcam. I want to just use it with mac.

    My card is GIGABYTE 980 ti

    Help please

    Thank you!!

    Please read all THE information on all the links. You NEED to install drivers for this card.

  • Alienware 18/w 2 x GTX 980 M 8 GB problems SLI - 8 beeps and no video now detected

    Hey everybody,

    I picked up a 'is' 18 with 2 x GTX 980 m 8 GB cards discreet alienware.

    When you first start up, I got the dreaded "8 beeps" and a black screen.

    I did a lot of online guides, and all said that one or two video cards must be bad.

    So, I opened it and removed the two cards and then tried to turn on without all video cards, which works 100% great.

    I think I tried put 1 card in slot 1, and turns, but in BIOS, Manager devices, GPUz etc, the video card is not detected.

    I tried the same thing with Slot 2 only and the same problem.

    I also tried to reinstall just the two and I still had 8 beeps.

    These video cards are worth about $500 + each, so I'd like to find a way to at least get a job if possible.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you!

    Both cards video with SLI cable, everything works correctly! Wow!

    For all those who come to this page, here is my best explanation of what was the fix:

    Remove the battery, remove the video cards, maybe reinstall OS, replace the battery so that the video cards are out, update BIOS to later restore the default BIOS settings, reinstall the video card (1 at a time).

  • XPS 8300 Windows 10 and not Internet

    With 10 Windows on my computer xps 8300 when I connect the Ethernet cable to the computer I have no internet.  Can someone help me?  For some reason I can connect wireless but do receive as 1 MB down and upward so that with a normal cable I receive about 100 down

    Hey Jesse!

    I really appreciate that get back you to me. I tried a version of many drivers updates patches etc... Thanks to these forums and the web Inter.  I discovered that the XPS 8300 model has a problem with the Ethernet jack on the motherboard, it is wrong and the dell offered to replace a large number of them, but with the same boards that had the broken part of Ethernet. Sad is their destiny to break like that.

    Just as the only solution that I found was that I have buy a PCI Express Ethernet card and install it manually

    See you soon

  • GTX 980 and first Pro CC

    Hi all

    I have a GTX 980, I activate the use of the GPU in the preferences of the project, when I read a video, the red bar is replaced by the yellow bar.

    How to make the GPU is used?

    Thanks in advance it's quite urgent.

    any effect that has the icon of the acceleration must use the gpu. the red color on the chronology does not mean gpu, but rather real-time playback isn't likely.
