Hi I have been trying to find a video card with about 256mb video ram for my dell gx620 sff version. I have a 275w power supply and dont want to have to upgrade it. If you guys could refer me to a video card that will fit in my tiny pc and work with my 275w power supply that would be great. Also if I have to upgrade my power supply could you guys tell me where to find a power supply for a dell gx620 sff that would be great


Here is a photo of the pci-e slot

Your not gonna find anything decent that will run on a 275watt good power supply, let alone a cheap china brand power supply like dell uses in their pc's.
 
what do you suppose i do?

What do you think I should do then?? I not going to give up? Can I buy a better more powerful power supply for it? If so where?


Thanks
 
Its really hard Dell makes sure their PCs are set up so you can only upgrade through them so they can charge what ever they want.

Also with the size of your PC most cards wont fit in it. The only card I know of that can run on a 275w PSU is a Nvidia 5200 which is a ANCIENT card that wont do a very good job for any gaming.


You will need to call Dell and see if they sell any parts. Next time you buy a PC...go for a custom PC that you can easily upgrade parts with or build your own to avoid this issue later on upgrades.


A good example of a normal pc vs a dell is shown here

The layout/sizes/space is bigger to a Dell and ANY new GPU from 7600+ will require a 300w+ PSU.

Well, you would need a new case, power supply, and maybe even a new mobo as that one might not have the clearance to fit a new video card...
