Dell Inspiron 530 and 8800GT ?

[jdubb247]

I've got a brand new Inspiron 530. The computer came with an 8600GT (256MB). I'd like to upgrade. Supposedly, the newer quad core based Inspiron 530's (which is what I've got) use a newer power supply with dual +12v rails to support the 8800GT.

Here are the two cards I'm considering:

Alternate card - 8600GTS 512MB:

Will any of these cards work in my computer?

Thanks in advance

First off, the 8600gts is junk for that price. If you want an eVGA card, get the cheapest, non-overclocked card and overclock it with rivatuner or the like. If not, get the MSI card with the aftermarket cooler on newegg right now for $199.99 after rebate, which is my choice.

I'm not commited to any brand, in fact I know nothing about video cards. Thanks for the feedback.

I also recommend the card TurdBurglar linked to. Just got it yesterday and impressed the heck out of me. Runs VERY cool and has plenty of room for even more overclocking (if u choose to) without worrying about your card overheating. IMO this card over all the other 8800gt regardless of brand or price period.

Open the case and see if you have a 6 pin PCIE connector and you'll know if it will or not.

I have a PCIe power connector. I've ordered the MSI 8800GT mentioned above.

Thanks all
