Alienware x51 r2 graphicscard upgrading

[jesseat18]

Hello guys,

I bought a alienware x51 r2 about a year ago and I noticed that the newer games started to run a bit slow. I wanted to upgrade my graphicscard with the "Asus GeForce GTX 750" I'm using Geforce GTX 645 at the moment.

Thanks!

Alienware x51 r2
Geforce GTX 645
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4440 CPU @ 3.10 GHz
8 GB ram
Microsoft windows 7

Hi there
Just be sure to get that GTX750 in a Low Profile format as your casing is quite slim.

Hey,

well, to make it feel like a real upgrade you would wanna use a R9 280 or GTX770. That would be the most appropriate for the rest of your PC. You would be able to play almost anything when using this HW, even Unity on some decent details.

The problem here would be the PSU. You would need to get a solid 600W unit to run either of these cards. This one's decent: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096&cm_re=seasonic_620W-_-17-151-096-_-Product
