can 750ti fit in my acer aspire xc-780?

[memeless]

i have a gt 730 but its just not good enough and im looking to upgrade. the whole pc is pretty small so i was just wondering if i could remove the 730 and add a 750ti. if i can't, are there any other gpus that are small enough to fit inside and good enough to beat the 730? thanks in advance

Actually that case is a micro atx form factor and you would need a low profile card for it to fit on that pci-e slot.
Ask them here and then show them this card with psu, it should be able to fit inside of it.
Your only issue then would be to find a psu 450 that will fit inside of it.

i preferably do not want to change my psu.

Then you will have no other choice but to buy a bigger computer desktop or build your own computer.
If you look at the hardware specs of your pc closely and looking at how much the gpu wants for power.
There isn't much you can do without blowing something out in that tiny acer computer.

im not sure if i really need to change my psu because i saw someone else using a 750ti with a 220w psu. Why do i need more wattage in the first place? why cant i just use my gpu

some models of store bought computers [dell.hp,acer,ect..] may come with a ''locked or fixed'' / legacy or uefi bios and may not allow you to change certain hardware as a video card.. this is done to protect them from undue warranty claims and refunds .this is not done to hurt you but to protect them. you really need to see if that upgrade has been proven to work in your model first before you invest money in it .. there are a lot of these threads here at toms to look at some models will allow upgrades and some dont.. and a lot of guys here say ya ya ya when is really no no no...it would be sad you spent $200 on a card that won't post after you installed it as most find out. then get told its your psu and you spend more and end up right back where you are now, but its up to you good luck..


you got to know the boards in these computers are not like the ones we use to do custom builds witch are open to upgrading with in the boards compatibly . the bios is custom made for there design and just for the parts they authorize to be used on there computers there only guaranteed to work as is out of the box as you bought it ,..


also these boards do not have to meet atx standards and there pci-e slot power may not do the required 75w needed for most higher end cards and can be limited to say 45 or 60w that is all thats needed with the low end factory oem cards that it may of shipped with

in the end any upgrade you do is all your own risk . the prebuilt manufactures only guarantees there computers work as sold to you as is out of the box from there factory with what they put on it , not a drop more

there in business to sell you whole ready to go computers , and dont worry about you upgrading them or giving you support to do so . thats not how they make there money they prefer you run to wal-mart and buy there ''better'' latest models

I was in there store where i bought it my acer aspire xc- 780, and asked if i could upgrade the card. He told me the best solution was Nvidia GeForce GT 1030. I have not bought it yet, but i think it might be the best choise, unless you’re going to change the PSU, and maybe the case too. The graphic card ain’t best graphic card ever tho. A bad thing about it is that it only has 2 GB vram.
