XPS 8300 graphics card update help

guimacamargo · Jan 27, 2016

Hello, I'm trying to upgrade the graphics card in my Dell XPS 8300 and I was wondering if anyone could help me with some advice. Recently I bought a Radeon R7 360, but, sadly, I discovered it isn't compatible with my Intel H67 chipset (Intel doesn't update the BIOS for it anymore). Can someone please indicate me a good graphics card compatible with my PC?

My specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz
12GB RAM
750W PSU

Thank you very much in advance and please let me know if you need some more information!

Why isn't it compatible with your motherboard? there's no reason it shouldn't be.

Yeah, tought so too, but apparently that's a problem that everybody with this MoBo's had when trying to upgrade to more recent cards... they simply aren't recognized. I actually found this information in some of the threads here and in other forums

May be tough to find an exact match because it's an OEM system and they can have some funny issues. I do hear that nVidia cards are more forgiving with motherboards than the AMD ones. The GTX 750 Ti is in about the same range as the R7 360 in speed, although it's pricier by about $30. If you want to match your CPU and RAM potential, you can probably even go a bit higher to a GTX 950.

Yeah, heard that about nVidia too. I'll see if I can trade or sell to someone, I was thinking exactly about the GTX 750 Ti (already checked, apparently it is compatible with the MoBo =P). And yeah, I reaaaaaly wish I could afford a GTX 950 T.T But tjank you very much for the help! =)
