• XPS 8300 GPU upgrade with parts question

  Hey all,.

  I'm looking to upgrade my GPU without having to touch my food or any other room in my XPS 8300. I am running with processor i5 to 3.00 GHz, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB harddrive (from what I remember off the top of my head since I'm at work). I read in many places that GTX 750 it would be a fine upgrade without having a problem of PSU or of the motherboard, but before buying, I thought I would ask if everything would be fine without compatibility issues. The link here is the card I have planned to go with, but wanted to know if there is all the more powerful cards out there that I can possibly use. I always use my AMD HD 5450 stock card that's why I'm planning an upgrade. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  This is the best that I've seen reported on our power 460w.

• 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.

• XPS 8300 Motherboard upgrade - what OS problems I have?

  Hello world

  I have a XPS 8300 i7.  I want to change the existing motherboard for Asus P8P67 PRO.  A that someone does something similar and faced problems?  Primarily, problems with a reinstall of Win 7 recovery disks.  Does anyone know that the motherboard Dell is linked to the Win 7 install?

  Thanks in advance

  You must purchase a valid license for Windows 7 retail.  The license that comes with the computer is called OEM, is specific to Dell and is limited to the computer with which it is delivered.  As a general rule, the installation disk will check the BIOS to see if this is a Dell system. If this isn't the case, it will usually stop installation.  I've heard of cases where it will install, but in any case, it will not accept the product key for activation.

  Other things to watch, which are common for this type of project... various and devices on the system Panel do not always have standard connectors, so rewireing a connector is sometimes necessary.  I can't say with certainty for the 8300 in particular.  The alignment of the fixing holes can also affect the ease with which other advice can be used.

• XPS M1710 GPU Upgrade

  OK, I use my m1710 as a gaming machine and thereby the 256 MB of vram provides the 7900 gs is not pulling its full waight. I want to put a larger map with 512 MB of vram, I read the instructions in dell replace the gpu so im asumeing you can get a new or atlest beter gpu. What is the largest and most powerful I could enter my m1710? Please link me to ware, I can't buy a. one last question: do I need a speicalty card or a standered.

  so in short, what is the best card that I can put, must be a speicalty card, and can you link me to one like dell upgrade page does not gpu.

• 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.

• Dell XPS 8700 GPU Upgrade

  Hello.

  I recently got the XPS8700 with Intel Core i7 3.4 GHz, 24 GB Ram, GeForce GT GPU 635.

  The PC works fine, however, I really want to upgrade graphics card, to get the best experience.

  I was looking at the GPU was the Radeon R9290.

  I realized that my diet was not strong enough to provide this GPU.

  -The power supply I wanted to get was a series of Builder CX750W link or http://www.corsair.com/en/power-supply-units/cx-series-psu/cx750-80-plus-bronze-certified-power-supply.html-

  -The link of the GPU or http://rog.asus.com/269042013/graphics-cards-2/the-asus-r9-290-graphics-card/

  My questions are, PSU, I want to get compatible with the GPU, is my PC big enough to keep the GPU is compatible with my motherboard GPU.

  Thank you.

  To answer your question, yes the 290 r9 will start.  Its a fit tight, but it will fit in there which is great.  How can I know what... Well I have one on my 8700 :) and I would not recommend anything less the 750 watt for a power supply when executing this GPU.

• XPS 8300 PSU upgrade?

  I'll buy a 8300 with the following combination:

  Processor Intel core i7-2600 (3.4 GHz, 8 MB of Cache)
  8 GB (4x2Go) DDR3 SDRAM to 1 333 MHz
  3 TB (1.5TBx2) SATA RAID 0 (data striping)
  1.25 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce (r) GTX 560 Ti

  I studied the 560 ti, and apparently it needs a higher POWER supply, which I believe is the power supply? I am not very computer in this area - how I discovered that the power supply of the computer above?  On another forum, they informed me that I should get at least 700w for the 560ti. They also said that it would be difficult to find a PSU connector. Basically, I would appreciate help in the choice of a power supply for my dell, based on what other Dell users indicate that they found worked well.

  Thanks, I really appreciate it!

  I will repeat what I said.  If an option, such that the specific video card is available for purchase at the command, the system will work with any power supply is installed.   It was noted, on the Section of office equipment, new systems with graphics cards in commercial versions of cards that require a certain power supply power, however the version provided in the new Dell is a model of lower power needs and therefore works with the power supply provided Dell.

  It is worth noting that, in most cases, Dell tends to underestimate their power supplies, so a power of 470 watts is more like a 550 watt detail or even more.

  I have a Dell Dimension E510 desktop computer.  It has power to 310 watts stock.  I'm walking the CPU maxed out the memory, has added a second optical drive, added a second hard drive and updated the video card to a Galaxy GTS450OC video card and everything works without problem.

• Studio XPS 8100, GPU upgrades?

  Nice day. I hope an expert can help me.

  My computer: Desktop computer Studio XPS 8100 Dell, intel Core i7 870 2.93 GHz, 8 MB, etc.
  Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 240 single memory 1 GB. Reading, not sold at retail and is now no longer available

  I do not use the computer to play games. Graphics card fan started making noise and heat, perhaps should be changed. I can on this card - EVGA GeForce GT 620 700 MHz HDMI PCI-Express could it be a compatible replacement. CCAN you Please provide DETAILS for me a graphics card in replacement of approximately the same 'power' +. I can myself, slot load driver and be operational. No not in the evolution of the other pieces. In the meantime, thank you for your help.

  FDES

  You've always had a "have a constant orange light on the motherboard" means that you have AC and 5v standby is available.  If you have no light there is no input power and so you will NEVER turn. The day before on the card itself power light. Once the PC is plugged in and power supply is turned on, even if the PC is always OFF. Because the LED is about the size of a bullet, some call it at the flea market.

• XPS 8300 upgrade for 60 fps on GTA V

  This is my first post, so I'm sorry if I am breaking the rules of the forum or posting in the wrong section.

  I'm looking to upgrade my XPS 8300. There the processor i7, 6 GB of ram and ATI Radeon 5670 CPU. If possible, I want to spend less than $300. I want 60 fps or more on moderated video settings.

  What are my options? I think I should start with a good video card. Should I upgrade my RAM 8 GB? I don't know what types of RAM are compatible with XPS 8300 motherboard. Do you think I should get a 120 GB SSD, reinstall the OS and only install GTA V on the SSD? The reason why I am considering an SSD is due to loading of those times... Incase you haven't noticed, I'm a huge noob when it comes to this. I don't know the basics. Thank you! :)

  I think I should start with a good video card.

  Yes and a power upgrade. Note that only feeds 5.9 inches long or less will adjust the chassis, but you can move the motherboard and other viscera in a third party with the best cooling chassis.

  A look at video cards shows that $300 will buy GPU performance much more than the top-of-the-line cards from 2012, when the game is released. However, you should be able to provide the upgrade.

  HossMan1

  I don't know what types of RAM are compatible with XPS 8300 motherboard.

  It's a recent motherboard, so most types of DDR3 memory should work. However, 6 GB should be enough.

  HossMan1

  reason why I am considering an SSD is because of loading of those times...

  Yes, an SSD would improve loading times, and I recommend that you install the operating system on it and the game. You will enjoy a huge helping hand to the performance.

• The upgrade of my Dell XPS 8300

  Hello

  Currently, I use my Dell XPS 8300 with set up the following:

  • Intel core i7 - 2600 to 3.4 GHz
  • 8 GB RAM
  • GPU: Radeon HD 5770
  • PSU: 460W (AC460AD-00)

  It has served me well but shows it's age while I was looking to upgrade the graphics card and the power supply if necessary. But this is the first time I did something like this then I'd some tips / warnings on the potential pitfalls before buying something.

  After doing some background reading, I was thinking get a GTX 970 and upgrade the PSU, but I would like to know, questions, I could deal with that. I heard there were problems with XPS 8300 bios don't do not work well with graphics cards. I am currently on AO3, but there is no problem if necessary upgrade.

  My budget is around £400-£500 if anyone knows the best ways to update my PC.

  Thank you.

  Consider using this for now until you can buy new. Spending that much on unnecessary updates are not handy on a computer that is a few years old. You have a good installation now - 8 GB of ram, big power, i7 cpu that is best for your motherboard - as long as everything works. New computers can easily be purchased for what your budget allows for upgrades. The only thing to consider is a video card a little better that your power supply will take place as well as better control that you can use when you get a new computer. Ignore the upgrade of processor since that is not worth the expense or effort for minimal returns. You most likely impossible to switch the cpu to a newer version without replacing the motherboard. I would make sure to have the latest and probably last - bios A06.

• XPS 8300, upgrade video card

  Hi I have a Dell XPS8300

  It came with the card AMD Radeon HD 6450, but there isn't enough good run the latest games, not even with settings very low... This is why I intend to upgrade that.

  The problem is that I don't know if the map I want to buy is compatible or if I could make it work... I'm really new to this so I need a little help please...

  It's the map: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclock-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3753-KR/dp/B00IDG3IDO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1401905637&sr=8-4&keywords=nvidia+gtx+780

  Im not in that of a hardcore gamer who wants ultra graphics on all games, I want to just that my PC to run the latest games at least on a medium to high heat (or even low) with decent FPS...

  I believe that my 6 GB DDR3 RAM and Intel core i5-2300 (2.80 Ghz) with this video card should be enough.

  Please let me know (any expert on the subject) if I can use this card without problem so I can just click 'buy' haha. Or if it something else I have to make it work please let me know

  Thanks :)!

  GTX 560 it is no longer on the market so there is no need to buy this card unless you found it used for $100 or less on ebay.  The GTX 750 Ti is a better deal for a new card and I'd get this one.  I've seen where users have for their XPS 8300 GTX 750 it and it works fine.

• 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.

• 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.
