Hey Guys,

I'm probably a little late to the party on this one, have read through all the existing forums relating to both the GPU and the Dell XPS but have been struggling to get this card working.

I'm running:

Win7
12gb DDR3 Ram
700w PSU (just replaced for this new GPU)
i7-2600 Intel

Have updated the BIOS drivers and switched the advanced graphics option to DISABLED (i.e. only using the PEG.

Have removed all graphics drivers prior to mounting the card.

All the fans run on the GPU and the PSU is more than adequate.

Is there something I'm missing?

Would really appreciate your help.

cheers,
Cam

The PSU is a CoolerMaster Thunder 700w.

It's a little tight getting the card in but otherwise fits fine.
