Hello! I need to know how to install a Asus Radeon HD 7750. I looked everyone and there's just no videos on youtube or any where on google. I'm installing this graphics card in to a dell Inspiron 670 pci-express slot. Also if this graphics card comes without a software updating "thingy" where could i find the driver software (I think that's what it's called) online? Thanks in advance!

plug in the card into the pci express slot.
Plug in any pci express 6pin power connector(if applicable, only certain versions of hd7750 require that)

download drivers here http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

Select desktop graphics, radeon hd series and hd 7xxx series for step 1,2 and 3

Select your current operating system(with correct bits) for step 4

And you should be good to go.

As far as the physical part of the installation its pretty straight forward, find the pcie x16 slot and push it in then you will have to attach power with a 6pin attachment off your power supply.. As far as drivers all you have to do is search AMDdrivers and that will ask you for your info such as what kinda card ect ect or it will let you let it decide what you need... Then just let it do its work..
 


I am not aware of any Inspiron 670, is it 570? or Dell Precision 670?

If it is Inspiron - it very easy, you will have to unscrew retention bracket placed outside the case, and the rest is simple.

its quite simple .just uninstall your current graphic card drivers and then switch off your pc and remove the power plug and then :-

1.(if you already have a graphic card then read this step )slightly remove your your graphics card from pci-e slot .

2.(if you doesn't have a graphic card then use this step )if you doesn't know how the pci-e slot looks like then you should look at the slot which looks like blue /black in color (colour depends on motherboard).

3.now insert the graphics card (by holding its corners ) gently in the pci-e *16 slot (don't worry about its versions like 2.0 or 3.0)

3.you'll feel like card has taken its place .after this ,screw your card with the cabinet .

3.then connect your monitor according your graphic card socket .

4.simply start your pc then your pc will notify you that its switching to its basic drivers .(don't take tension ,your graphic card is at the right place)

now install drivers from cd simply and reboot your pc. set resolution according to your screen and restart again .


your graphic card is installed .
