[Inspiron 1520] 7950GTX ? 8700M GT ? 8600M GT DDRIII ?

[Valkirie]

Hello, sorry i don't speak german, i have some question about inspiron 1520. I found a guy seeling a 7950GTX from XPS and i would like to know if i could put it into my Inspiron 1520.

As you can see this is very similar to 8600M GT.

Anyway if this isn't possible, do you know any 3D card i could put into my Inspiron. Anything better than this crappy 8600M GT DDRII...

Thx for all.

7950gtx wont fit into your case and would produce too much heat
15,4" is only for midrange gpus

So... Any 8700M GT ? 8600MGT DDRIII ?

[Andreas H.]

im not quiet sure but i dont think that a 8700gt will fit too
in my opinion you wont find a gpu better than a 8600gt for your laptop

Is this just a rumor, or did really exist a DDRIII 8600M GT for DELL ?

Its true in the new XPS 1530 but as far as i know it is impossible to chance GDDR connection from 2 to 3! Also the 8700GT is only a 8600GT with a higher MHZ... so one option should be to use tools to set the MHZ higher!

A last option is to ask Dell if they see a chance to upgrade the card!

I allready overcloacked my 8600M GT, but the DDRII suck so much... :'(
And dell only offer 8400M GS & 8600M GT for Inspiron 1520...
