    This has been is highly useful, I'm looking forward to get ready to get into digital art & design, involving 3d, with videography. And i figured why not try sticking gaming PC to help update my pc; well, after getting my dell, it is a yr old, i still found out that i was still needing GPU and some rams added in. So this is was highly great, for everything needed towards gaming, can be used in digital art & design; this was beautiful and luckily i have the same tower.

    as a first time builder this information is priceless. I am saving up for the 9020, in my country PC experts take advantage and everything even old computers are expensive. It will take me all year to Buy the 9020 and a Graphics card as well. I have been using an old acer laptop since 2014 and I have no idea that I can build something playable. I've never owned a console or a pc thats able to play games. this will be the first time I experience a game in 1080p. the game I want to play is genshin impact/ I have been playing on my laptop but its Haswell i5 3rd gen. Intel HD4000. I've been playing on Low setting all my life. Even Half life 2.... I am actually a little nervous but it's time I try.

It's runs on an i5 4460, 8GB ddr3 1600Mhz sdram but there is room for upgrade to an i7 and 16gb ram in future.

    I am currently transforming my 9020 with the i7 4770. Ordered an RX 580 8GB alongside a PSU upgrade and the 24 to 8 pin adapter.
    I won't be using it long as I ordered an R5 3600, new mobo and ram but wanted to know if the 24 to 8 pin adapter will have any effect on the power output. Should I account for it and opt for a higher power PSU? At the moment I ordered a Corsair 500W.

    • @RAVisuals
      @RAVisuals  4 роки тому +1

      Bob Huskenson so if you’re planning on using an rx580, you’ll need to upgrade the power supply for sure! The 290w isn’t enough for how much power that draws.

  • @Canyaza
    @Canyaza 3 роки тому +1

    Dell's newer computers ship with a 500W supply when you add a 1650S/1660S to them.
    I transplanted 9010 sff to a normal sized case.
    I used an OEM Dell 1650S + (they use 6 pin power, search "Dell" "GDDR6" "oem" if you want the Dell version, it's the smallest 1650 super I know of, even smaller Zotac.) 4.5" wide from PCIe tab to the outside facing edge of the card, slightly under 6.5" in length, and slightly under 2.25" height wise heatsink + board thickness.
    Dell's card has 1 HDMI port 1 Displayport 1 DVI, I notice some 1650/1660 model only have Displayport and HDMI. EVGA cards bum me out because they rarely support more than one monitor, I have a 1660 TI but Zotac's was cheaper and had more ports at launch, so you could have 4 monitors plugged in at once.
    i7-3770 (no k), and everything ran really well at 1080, GTA V everything on ultra, and on Cyberpunk I was getting 36-48 fps when I had everything on high except shadow/ao/sss set to medium, I wasn't expecting that.
    There are Lenovo/Foxconn versions of the 1650S too if you can't find the Dell models, and some of Dell's models only use slot power, but I'm not sure how many watts your PCIe 16x slot needs to support for one of those, I just bought the 6 pin version to be safe.
    There are also Dell 1050 oem cards, those only use slot power.

    I just installed a Sapphire RX 580 8gb card into my Dell Optiplex 7010 mt. I took the XFX RX 570 8gb from it and put it in my Dell Optiplex 790
    mt. Needless to say, both were a pain in the butt to put in either case. The Sapphire fit length works, but I had to unplug the usb 3.0 cable from the mb. And then plug it back in. I also had to use 90 degree SATA cables. The RX 570 required me having to cut down the fan housing so as to fit length wise. In conclusion: go with the NVidia gtx 1650S or 1660S for upgrade builds on the Dell Optiplexes. However, being the AMD fanboy that I am: Visiontek makes a 4gb and 8gb rx 5500xt that will easily fit. The HP AMD RX 580 omen 4gb will fit nicely as well.

      I'm doing the exact same thing. I went for the 3020 with the i5-4570 instead. For the GTX960, especially if you have a blower style gpu, you'll need to remove the hdd cage since it's pretty long (it's fairly easy, just use a drill). The price (150) for that pc does seem like a good deal though! I'd snag it. I got my 3020 off Ebay for a similar price.

      To the best of my knowledge, it's not always necessary. What's important is to know the minimum system requirements, including power (pay attention to Watts AND Amps) for the card you intend to buy. I found this out the hard way, buying a GPU that requires a minimum of 300W and 20A, while my 3010's power supply only provides 275W and 12A. It never occurred to me to check beforehand. 🙄🙄🙄

    Thanks for this video. I recently purchased a 9020 for 75 bucks, with an i7 4770 CPU. The plan is to upgrade it for office and studio (Presonus) work, and occasional gaming (I'm thinking of having a go at Skyrim). I had been looking at AMD GPUs, particularly the RX 580, but if, as you've so clearly shown, I'll need to both upgrade the power AND modify the case, then I'd definitely be better off budget-wise to go with one of the NVIDIA cards. If I don't need to upgrade the PSU, then I can afford to pay a bit more for the GPU. Add to that the cost of 32G of RAM and a good SSD, and I should have a good all-rounder for about 300 dollars. 👍👍👍😏😏😏

      This card would be too much for these systems. Might be better for the newer dell systems
