GTX 750Ti in a Dell XPS 420 (375w PSU)
Hi

I need to get a 4 port Graphics card in my Dell XPS 420 to drive 4 monitors.

I currently power 3 monitors using a MSI Radeon 5770 Hawk that powers 3 x 23" IPS in an eyefinity (5760x1024 res).

I use this in Flight Sim X for a 'out of the cockpit window view' that stretches across all 3 screens.

I want a 4th screen (19" widescreen) that I use to show instrument dials from within the cockpit.

I've tried to put another card in the machine but I don't have any more PCI-e x16 slots free. I tried old PCI cards but the drivers don't work with Windows 7x64.

I have been given a suggestion of a ASUS GeForce GTX 750Ti due to the low power and the 4 ports it has.

Can anyone help confirm if the following card will fit and (fingers crossed) work:-

or
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-NVIDIA-750Ti-PCI-E-Gra...

Thanks in advance.
Mark

Great thanks. I guess the underlying question is will my Dell XPS 420 with a 375w PSU be able to power it? Are the connectors all compatible etc?


Get a XFX 450W or Seasonic 420W power supply to be safe.


Will that fit in a dell xps420

From what I can tell you need a better, atleast 400W PSU with a 6-pin power connector. That site is for the reference 750 ti and should be pretty accurate since the rest of the 750ti are based on it. I could that the Gigabyte one supports 4 monitors for sure though http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=...

Also, help, I'm confused, the link you sent me to the geforce website shows a completely different looking card to the amazon links I posted..

Not such which I need now?
