Aurora R5, highest GPU upgrade?

460W unit would n ot be supporting a GTX 970.

2FNM3   GTX 1060 works fine with the stock 460W.

Non Dell cards will require secure boot OFF.

So your saying I have the higher power supply version of the R5? I just checked. I have the GTX 970 in there

When I purchased my Aurora R7 direct from Dell, they sold it to me with the 460W PSU and GTX 1080.  Granted, Nvidia's recommended system power for a 1080 is 500W.

Hard to advise without knowing for sure.

I just looked up the system configuration. It's a 460W supply. 

Would a GTX 1660 be too much for my computer to handle?

Yeah, that's lame. It should have thrown a custom-config-page error. 

But Dell seems to think their Power Supplies are ultra-amp-ing, physics-defying, blah, blah 

Also consider the 1660ti, it is better than the 1660, and they have identical power requirements (card power 120W, system power 450W). 

1660 is not a problem if your system came with windows 8.1  EXCEPT that secure boot must be OFF for the card to post.

Is there a particular brand/model of a GTX 1660 Ti that would fit in a R5 with 460W PSU?

Short cards are always less trouble.

Whatever you get, you should check the dimensions before ordering because I'm not sure if you would be able to physically close the PC with a 5" or wider GPU.  Even 4.75" is cutting it close.  The OEM GPU is 4.37."  The Aurora is a SFF really tight fit in there, and others on this forum have found out the hard way that too wide or too long and it will either hit the front fan or not close. 

those are very good practical points.

it seems Nvidia founder edition gpu fits R5.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jqOEw9pcJOU

by SFF it implies the chassis air cooling may not be optimal. so another reason to consider blower type gpu as in founder edition.

the founder edition card has a characteristic all metal design first introduced in Titan (780,770) that continues today.

Thanks all for those GTX 1660 product recommendation - their dimensions and PSU requirements all seem to be compatible with my R5 and 460W PSU.

Now to compare specs and performance/reviews... (vs the GTX 970 I have in R5)
