XPS 8900, use of Nvidia GTX 745

Hello

I bought a Dell XPS 8900 with a GTX 745. Should arrive this week.

Will this DDR3 4 GB Dell OEM Nvidia GeForce GTX 745 c:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX DVI out--> in--> #1 U2412M DVI DVI to DVI cable = 1920 x 1200

NVIDIA GeForce GTX out HDMI--> HDMI / DVI--> #2 U2412M in DVI = 1920 x 1200

Above config works with my old PC (see below).

Can I add a #3 Monitor VGA input and 3 monitors at the same time?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Old (and always reliable!) XPS 8100 with AMD 5450 can support this with my 2 x U2412M monitors:

Reference Dell AMD 5450 out DVI--> in--> #1 U2412M DVI DVI to DVI cable = 1920 x 1200

Reference Dell AMD 5450 out HDMI--> HDMI / DVI--> #2 U2412M in DVI = 1920 x 1200

Confirmed to work with my new 8900 XPS:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 out DVI--> in--> #1 U2412M DVI DVI to DVI cable = 1920 x 1200

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 output HDMI--> HDMI Cable DVI--> #2 U2412M in DVI = 1920 x 1200

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 output VGA--> in--> #3 U2211H VGA VGA cable VGA = 1920 x 1080

Note:

I did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro on an SSD that I added and to use.

Assist support gives me an error "Primary Surface Test cannot operate" with more than one monitor. single monitor flickers during this test.

It passes all THE tests brilliantly using one monitor with a DVI connection.

I did more testing on different monitors.

I guess it's a problem with Support Assist; I can provide more details on request.

Happy with the purchase!

  • XPS8900 with NVIDIA GTX 745 to Dell U2515H monitor

    Hello

    just a question:

    I want to buy a DELL XPS 8900. I already have a DELL U2515H screen (I never want to Miss ;-).

    My real office includes a graphics card with display port: it works very well.

    The GEFORCE NVIDIA GTX 745, which is included in the XPS8900 is not a DP.

    How to connect the screen to the XPS 8900 to run the display in Native Mode at 2560 x 1600 pix and 60 Hz (WQXGA)?

    Thanx for each tip!

    Hey there, your current monitor has an hdmi connection and the 745 GTX also has hdmi.

  • 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

  • XPS 8910, bi-ecrans, Nvidia GTX 970?

    I just got a new 8910 XPS, well. But the video card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 970) only on the card, DVI - D video output. I want to connect a second monitor, DVI - D or VGA input. There are a lot of other jacks on the rear panel, several HDMI, DP (DisplayPort). Are all the HDMI outputs and the DP for a second monitor?

    There is only a single HDMI output port on the back of the chassis, #4. #3 is the DP (DisplayPort) aboard.

    Because there is not a "Multi screen" option in the Bios. This means that if a video card is added (GeForce GTX 970), cannot use the embedded outside DP or HDMI ports for monitors.

    You must attach two monitors to the GeForce GTX 970 addition.

    The Dell OEM GeForce GTX 970 has the following video ports =
    DVI - I
    DP
    DP
    DP
    HDMI 2.0

    So if #2 monitor has only DVI and VGA ports, you will need to connect to the HDMI port on the GeForce GTX 970.

    GeForce GTX 970 DVI - I-->--> #1 monitor DVI DVI to DVI cable to
    GeForce GTX 970 out HDMI--> HDMI to DVI cable--> #2 monitor DVI in

    You can buy the HDMI cable to DVI at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc.

I can't launch the web more recent version of the drivers because they do not seem to work with my PC GTX 670 in my MacPro. And my GTX 670 actually 4 GB of RAM. I thought that was one of the great features of CC to activate the compatible maps, but I can't select GPU (although I can't in Premiere Pro).

    And even more boring, is that while I had to modify some files after Effects CS6, it works fine for me with my video card as shown in this report:

    Now, I had some problems with all my apps CC do not launch, or to have the odd accidents, but I seem to have solved the according to this thread http://forums.Adobe.com/message/5423905#5423905 For this reason, I decided to try to start on the root and see if my graphics card worked in the root, but it was exactly the same report and would not activate the video card.

    I guess I can try the same hack that I had to do with CS6, but I thought that was the whole point of the new version that you wouldn't have to do!

    Although it's done. I had to manually hack AE CC to make it work with my Video card, and now it works fine.

  • XPS 8900 - you do not use a screen connected to a Nvidia GPU

    Just got my 8900 XPSA. If I try to access the Nvidia Control Panel, I get a message that I do not use a screen connected to a Nvidia GPU. I have a Nvidia GTX 745, which was last updated 25/08/16 pilots. It shows that it works in the Device Manager.

    What's your graphics card connected to the graphics card integrated on the motherboard? or the discreet graphics card.

  • No video on bios in my new 8900 XPS after changing the default GPU 745 for GTX 550 TI

    I'm having a strange problem where no video is displayed on the screen using my NVidia GTX 550 TI.

    Only when the system completed start-up I get the windows login screen and from there everything is ok. This problem only occurs when windows is not yet loaded. by hitting the "F2" to go into the bios screen remains black and no activity is to be send to the monitor. Any ideas what is the cause?

    Hi Richdtv,

    Your post belonged to the desktop video forum.

    Please don't forget to provide more details when you post it. For example, I assume you are using UEFI. Did you disable secure boot? The new card supports UEFI?

  • XPS vs XPS 8900 8910

    I'm considering buying a 8910 XPS but I have concerns about the problems of heat and noise with the new case design based on messages in this forum. I see that Best Buy is still selling the old XPS 8900 with the oldest case. If I go with the 8910 XPS, I'd probably use the NVIDIA GTX 745Ti stock or 960 video. I would add a 512G SSD for my main hard drive.

    Someone at - it recommendations on the XPS vs 8900 8910?

    You might also consider an inexpensive slot fan who gets the power directly from the PSU. Hot air is vented to the rear of the case.

    This is just one example. There are many different brands and versions to choose so going around.  No idea how efficient they are or how much extra the noise they could add: I don't recommend - or not - recommend this particular fan or provider...

    EDIT: Many / most of these fans of housing have a power connector Molex 4 pin, if you'd also need an inexpensive SATA > power Molex adapter you can connect the Molex fan to one of spare SATA power on the power supply connectors.

  • 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.

  • Studio XPS 8100. Update graphics Nvidia GTX 650 or 750 GTX

    Hello

    I have a studio XPs 8100 with a Radeon 5770 (1 GB) graphics card. If it was a good card when I bought the system, I think to upgrade the card to an Nvidia GTX 650 (4 GB) or a 750 GTX card 2GB.

    Apart from buying a new power of W 600 or 700 unit, is there anything I should know about?  Did anyone tried these cards in the XPS 8100? The motherboard and the case would argue one of them?  I have a GB of Ram 1333 6, I have to increase it too?

    Thank you very much in advance for the help.

    I have not had to install a new ps. The 750 TI FTW attracts only and extra 25 watts and a regular 750 TI does not yet use this extra power. And Yes, you can change the ps in a 8100 but they are irregular in size but can be found. I'd say you'd be fine with any 750 cards and honestly, you can get 50 fps or better in most of the games with them, a lot of maps. My son has a ti 750 FTW in a xps 8700 and gets 70-80 fps in his favorite tank game.

  • ENVY 15 t-K200: ENVY 15 t-k200 doesn't use NVIDIA GTX 850 M

    I have an ENVY 15 t-k200 (K2T37AV) with processor i7-5500u, 16 GB of ram, Intel HD Graphics 5500 and NVIDIA GTX 850 M running Windows 10 64. The problem is running any application requiring the use of the NVIDIA card, the computer does not him.  I went into NVIDIA Control Panel to select the NVIDIA card as the preferred graphics processor and selected the NVIDIA for specific programs, no change in performance.  I've updated all the drivers, no change in performance. On paper, this computer must manage the games and apps that I use without problems, but running 3DMark benchmarks, I get very low scores and any graphic training application that I use is minced.

    Please help... How can I get my graphics card work properly?  Is there a bios setting I need to change? Or?

    Thank you

    I contacted HP Support directly (funny, I thought it was part of the HP support). In a Nutshell, it 1) uninstall the NVIDIA driver and card 2) downloaded the latest driver from NVIDIA and 3) installed the new driver.  I checked that the computer was once again work correctly, go to the NVIDIA card if necessary using a program of video reference I used to diagnose the problem in the first place.

    The problem seems to be that if you're updating the NVIDIA driver without uninstall the old driver first, something is not and the rocking computer is more on the NVIDIA card when necessary. The NVIDIA Control Panel will be simply install the new driver updated without uninstall the old driver. Even if you go to HP or NVIDIA and download updated driver directly, or advisor to uninstall the old driver before you install the new driver.

    Even if you install the driver is the latest driver, follow these steps if the NVIDIA card does not work as it should be.

    I used 3DMark demo to diagnose my video card, when he showed my computer run better than 0% of the tested systems, I knew there was a problem.
