XPS 8500, GeForce GTX 970, power supply upgrades

Alright Hey guys, so I did a little research, talked to a few friends and others and came to the conclusion that the upgrade of my gpu will be a good call! in any case after talking to a few people and a few computer experts I have been proposed to upgrade my gpu for a gtx 970 which I think will be great! The other question that I fell or not was the power supply will be able to handle this kind of upgrade. So after through suggestions from some other people and see what others who have improved their xps 8500 I suggested me to go with the power of 750W EVGA supernova 750 B 1 did supply (PSU) (110-B1-0750-VR) the reason behind this was expressly that he was quite a bit smaller in length to the tern I would be able to ride in the tour and that's what other people have used when starting to level of their xps 8500. Anyway sorry this is long but I assure you it is a good idea, if everything fits correctly and any other thank you GENERALS!

EVGA is a brand, and they have power supplies are built by different manufacturers.

the key is the letters B1 and G1, G2 or GS

B1/G1 are built by the FSP (OK, but not great)

Seasonic GS. (but not the best that Seasonic can build)

Superflower G2 (and it's getting good reviews.

the best is the G2.

The G2 will be good, but be very tight.

Keep in mind that you need not 750W to add a GTX 970. 550 W of the kind of clean energy is ample. 650w is also good, but I would highly recommend a high quality PSU, and I do not include the B1 or G1 in this category.

The 8500 and the 8700 are PSU even better I can tell and there are several described in this thread.

  • GeForce GTX 970/980 on XPS 8700

    Hello, I have XPS 8700, which came with OEM GTX 745. I think it passes to the Geforce GTX 970 or 980. These word on 8700 XPS video cards?

    I am particularly concerned, because system recommended for 970 power is 500 W to nVidia's specifications, total power of XPS8700 is 460 w. Has anyone installed GTX 970 or 980 on 8700 XPS?

    Hey Ryocchin,

    The GTX970 or the GTX980 will work in terms of being able to connect through PCI-express port.  Where you might encounter a problem is with the physical size of the map.  I know that some 970 models can be 12 inches, I guess the 980 years can grow according to the solutions of cooling for these exotic cards.

    The other piece of the puzzle is to replace the power supply.  A 460W pourrait be authorized as a basis of suppliers GPU their system requirements on the assumptions made about the power draw of the entire system & always shoot a bit on the high side.  But if your computer is a few years old is probably not turn off 460 watts.  So I recommend a new power supply.  EVGA, Corsair, XFXm and Antec have all been good for me over the years.  If you want to simulate a modular PSU that you'll save tangles of cables.

    So those are the two big things to look for: physical space for the graphics card (although I'm sure that a XPS8700 will hold a 970 without problem a lot) and a new power supply.

    The Dell service manual is here if you want to get an idea of what it looks like to replace components:

    I recently bought a Geforce GTX 970 of msi graphics card.

    The problem is that my pc will not go through the HP-splash screen that opens before the windows splash screen.

    My electricity supplier has enough power enough.

    Help me please!

    HP motherboards support even msi graphics cards?

    If this is not the case, what companies do support?

    Hello

    Your PC was shipped only with a version 7 of HP BIOS so the NVIDIA 970 isn't going to work. There is no provision in a BIOS version 7 to deactivate or activate the secure boot or activate the UEFI.  You would see these selections on the Security tab in the BIOS if there is this selection.

    Try one of these models NVIDIA GTX 660.  You only need a power supply of 450 watts.

  • New video card, power supply upgrade

    Currently I have the Hp Pavilion p6754yand I recently GeForce GTX 560 it to upgrade my current video settings, so I can play my games in more graphically the parameters. Sometimes, however, computers would be turned off randomly, and I came to the conclusion that I would need to better food then one I had when I came to my computer.

    So basically, my question is that the Rosewell-RD450-2-SB would be clear enough to power my computer with the included video card, or I could do better.

    I hope that you have considered the special depth of this power supply? It is longer than the current unit. You have the additional thumb between the CD/DVD player, sheets, wire harness and the old PSU?

    Here's an upgrade with the Rosewill 630W continuous, who still has the depth 5.5 ".  Your added almost an inch. http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817182200

    GPU-GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 for Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2015)? Yes or no?!

    Hello. I would buy GIGABYTE GPU GeForce GTX 970 4 GB but I can't find the map on the website of Adobe system requirements. What GPU will work for Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2015)? Is activated GPU acceleration? Thanks a lot for your reply and advice in advance. Martin

    They tend to cards list itself more, as they did... so they list the requirements for cards that work with the programs. Who are a minimum of 1 GB of vRAM and a few other things. As the production of internal software of the card, which is like a '3.0' or whatever and all 900-series cards are way beyond that... so with a 4 GB of vRAM card, the other issue is the number of cores CUDA has?

    Current recommendations are to stay above 1 000 CUDA cores... .and most 970, I've seen are listed with hearts CUDA along 1600... so it should be good. I myself use a 970 GTX w4GB vRAM. Now... a good GPU does not in itself and make an editing machine who shouts, as only certain things go by the GPU in PrPro in any case. A bad can certainly slow things, however.

  • In view of the XPS 8700 with GTX 970 upgrade, what would be the necessary power supply / & will fit in the case?

    To anyone who has successfully upgraded their diet to accommodate a more power hungry GPUS, what EXACT PSU did you purchase and how much was easy to install? Links to sites of sale would be great.

  • Power supply upgrade for my Dell XPS 8100?

    I'm looking to upgrade my Dell XPS 8100 power OEM 350W at a minimum 550W power supply so I can install a Blu - Ray reader & writer drive, & so I can replace the ATi Radeon HD 5570 1 GB GDRR5 graphics card with 2 GB or 4 GB of GDDR5. What would be a good power supply for my computer?

    Here are my specs:

    Intel Core i7-870,

    16 GB of DDR3 Ram(was 8GB but I upgraded to 16GB),

    HD 1.5 TB,

    ATi Radeon HD 5570 1 GB GDDR5.

    In addition, this card will work fine with my computer:

    & What will be a good Blu - Ray burner for my computer which is not too expensive?

    It's my computer right now:

    Here's a post that details what the size fits:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19483753

    But...

    740 GT is not much faster that the Radeon 5570 then this isn't much of an upgrade. What do you who needs 4 GB of RAM - V?

    Have you watched a 4 GB GTX 750 ti? Much faster...

    www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

    If you go with a GT 740, according to me, he can use less energy than the 5570, and if you buy a 'green' BluRay burner, it can use less energy than your current optical drive.

  • Video card and power supply upgrade - XPS 8700 (mid-2013)

    Hello

    I was considering upgrading my video card in my 8700 XPS to an AMD R9 270 to an AMD R9 290.

    I was wondering weather the power would be able to take it.

    It's a 460W power supply which I don't think will be able to manage an AMD R9 290 so I was also wondering if he could not do, where can I get a more powerful power supply? I know where to buy a lot, but I don't know if Dell, you have specific feeds of size to fit the case.

    Is it OK to buy a market after we'll tell power 650W from any manufacturer or should I buy a specific for the case.

    Thank you.

    At the very least, get a 750w power supply. This one has been reported to adapt.

  • P6769 UK: card Geforce GTX 970 of GTX 550ti graphics upgrade

    My husband bought a HP PC, because I work for HP.  The Geforce GTX550ti card worked perfectly on the P6769 UK PC running Windows 7; He bought the new card GTX 970 but couldn't make it work with Windows 7, so decided to put the old card back in and install Windows 10 to see if that would solve the problem, which was not. The old card works well running Windows 10 but not the GTX970. Despite extensive research and talk to the 'experts' that he has not yet found a solution - he has a terminal illness, so I would really appreciate help from someone in the forum to help him to enjoy what should be the great graphics for the short time he has left. Please respond to this message and personal email address [personal information deleted] If you can help.

    @Susan_HP

    The NVIDIA GTX 970 will not work on your PC. Video in graphics card BIOS and the BIOS is your PC are not compatible.

    I suggest that you are looking for an old graphics like the NVIDIA GTX 660. I've used both the TI 550 and 660 and the 660 is a far superior graphics card.

    Thanks for posting on the forum.

  • Alienware X 51 RT2 Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 video card upgrade

    Hello

    I have the Alienware X 51 RT2 with 330 Watt power supply and 8 GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600 MHz.
    Currently, I have Nvidia GeForce 760 with 1. 5 G GDDR5 accompanying my Alienware X 51 RT2.

    So, I want to upgrade my GPU GTX 960 (4 GB) if possible if not then of 2GB.

    I don't know if this will work and works perfectly with my office:
    PNY GeForce GTX XLR8 960 4 GB graphics VCGGTX9604XPB

    Need of your recommendation. This is a good option, or there is a better option?

    Thank you in advance.

    Because Alienware has not tested or it has given approval. The same happened with the R1 GTX 670 and X 51. The GTX 670 ends up being a GPU supported for the X 51 R2 after testing. In theory, even a GTX 680 could work at the X 51, but you need a little powerful processor (like an i3 or a processor of T).

    PNY has a GTX 970 you can use. As long as it looks like the PNY GTX 970, you good to go. First and foremost, I suggest you look at the sons of the X 51 + GTX 970 before making a decision. Not only those who have proven it works, but those warning as well. Do this first before answer please.

  • POWER supply upgrade

    I'm buy a GTX 660 Performance Edition and replace my GTS 250, so I need to buy a new power supply or I do?

    I used a simulator of power on Newegg http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html

    and I'm 11 Watts is more than OK? I strongly believe not, but I would like a second opinion and explanation of the consequences.

    Also I just found out that my current settup is 24Watts on yet I'm running OK I guess. PSU reached the high celsius of 60 s at full load.

    I was looking around power supplies, but the few I found in my price range do not have the same dimension that my current has.

    The main thing I need to know is where can I buy compatible power supply for my HP Pavilion Elite m9277.uk, a desktop PC?

    I would really appreciate an exact PSU for 500-600 w to €60 or less.

    My specs:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01469326

    I changed the 9800GT for GTS 250 1 GB GPU and I am upgrading again for a GTX 660.

    I have also excluded the tunner TV my PCI slot and no longer using HP removable HARD disc if Bay that makes a difference.

    Thanks for reading my long comment, I think I've met as a beginner, but bare with me, I'm not.

    It's like buying a car.  You pay the best features you get. Those you have posted is OK, a little low. The wattage is actually a trick few because a grade A 500w will in fact on most power cleanser in conditions normal operation than a budget model. Bonds, for example, put the better energy at higher temperatures. Any food you get these days will have the connectors you need. And in any case you can use a standard molex plug for power to the video card video cards usually have an adapter in the box. I personally like modular PSUs because that basically custom, you can do the installation and power cables that you actually need. None of the above are modular.  Modular costs a little more. The connector you want to be sure to have is the power of 6-pin pci-e. They have all taken P4 auxiliary these days. The first that you shown above has a list of connectors and I can confirm that it has everything that you will need.

    And the industry standard power supplies... ATX is a power of a specific size, and they should be inter changeable. Just to be sure, however, to measure the old and compare to the new dimensions. I've updated the power supply in this unit, and he was able to use the industry standard ATX power supply.

  • HP M9340f and Power Supply Upgrade graphics card

    HP dear community,

    I read some of the forums on the upgrade of the 9500gs it's an old graphics used for the HP M9340f. It's been 4 years now and the computer still works very well. I need advice for the upgrade on the graphics card.

    My specs are: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01465973

    I know that there a 350W power supply. I am worried because the 9500gs video card has a connector that is powered from the motherboard, it has 2 pins (black and white wire). I read about the update for the ATI HD 5670 Nvidia 440 or 450. I know it is very old, but the 9500gs is still able to run modern games.

    The recommendations would work due to the connector 2 pin?

    Upgrading power supply help, because I think the video card is to select the power supply to the motherboard and not directly from the power supply.  I'm still confused on what the black and white wire, it is connected to the video card.

    I don't mind getting a greater electric power because I can get a better card. Just concerned with the black and white wire.

    I also read here that this person was able to exchange his power supply and graphics card for a gtx 560 ti and a 550W power supply. Its model is newer than mine. http://www.tested.com/forums/PC-and-Mac/8692-seeking-upgrading-graphic-cardnew-computer-advise/?&p=1

    I am really limited?

    Thank you

    Swarl3s,

    We will divide your questions.

    (1) black/white is audio Spdif. Asus Nvidia supports a S-video port, audio is provided by the additional wiring.

    Now that the concern you had as answered (the whitw/black wiring), Let's proceed to the card.

    (2) what are your expectations of game? WOW, Diablo 3. Each has a recommended graphics card and each graphics card recommended the power of the power supply. Always add a tolerance.

    Regarding the GTX560Ti and a combination of 550W PSU, I see no problem. Then again, see here for more information and suggestions.

  • Need advice on the video card / power supply upgrade

    OK, first of all I am a novice to PC. But I have a HP pavilion a6600f. I wan to be able to play games like Battlefield BC2 but graphics integrated card wont cut it. I checked some info and found what motherboard I have. Its a FOXCONN Napa HP P/N. There is a link to the Board of Directors in case it might help you to answer my question. http://www.cnsunnyit.com/products/HP-motherboard-KJ383-69002_78.html

    This motherboard is a card like a GeForce 7800 GT or ATI X 1900? These cards are what is suggested as a Minimum for this game. Also maps would require me to get a 400W power supply. The power supply can be changed as well? All the answers you may have would be great. Also remember that I know very little in terms of pc in order to keep its simple for a simpleton like me. Thank you!
