Replacing Graphics Card in Alienware X51
Hello, I figured out the power supply for the Alienware X51 series is VERY limited, and I was wondering if this graphics card:
would work in the R1 series.

Do you have a 330w PSU? If you do, it would be better to get a GTX 960.
If you don't have a 330w PSU but the 240w PSU, the best you can get is the GTX 750 ti.

I've used a GTX 960 in my X51 R1 with 330w PSU. No problems.
Someone on here even uses a GTX 970 in his X51 R1 with 330w PSU. He's said all is well, but this upgrade may or may not work.

Are you sure my PSU won't have problems running the GTX 960? I heard it requires a minimum of 400w to run.

Does the GTX 960 really work with the 330w Alienware? I heard others saying it requires a better PSU.

Sorry for the second post, takes awhile for the Moderator to approve. Thanks for your input, you have definitely saved me from buying a worse graphics card!
