Hi!

 

I recently purchased an Aspire XC605 (DT.SRPEQ.044). I want to install a dedicated graphics card. Maybe something like the Radeon R9 270 (R9270-DC2OC-2GD5). Does anybody know if this is possible?

 

Thank you!

    KrelleRhodesia,

     

    We have not tested it with any third party graphics card so I am not able to advise if it will work or not. However, I can tell you that this desktop only comes with a 220w power supply and that would not be sufficient enough for a high-end third party graphics card. You would have to look into upgrading the power supply as well.

    Acer Ryan, thanks for your reply.

     

    You are probably right: I need to replace the PSU.

     

    1. Which PSU can be recommended?
    2. If Radeon R9 270 does not fit in the cabinet, the GeForce GTX 750 TI is perhaps a better solution?
    3. Other suggestions ...?

     

    Many thanks for your response
