Upgraded my Studio XPS9000/435T to nVidia GTX 660 No Problems
As the title says, just upgraded my rig from the GTX 460 I was using to the GTX 660. All is running very well...I figured with the minimum PSU req. for the 660 at 450W and the 475W PSU in the XPS 9000, the system should handle the 660 with no issues...and it has. My FPS in Guild Wars 2, a problem child as far as FPS is concerned has gone up from an average of 25 FPS to between 45-50 FPS, with all graphics options maxed. Just thought I'd post in case anyone was thinking of upgrading their GPU but YMMV. :emotion-1:

Oh and this is under Windows 7 64bit...the card was a drop-in replacement for the 460...same driver as well...just swapped cards, booted up, rebooted once and done...the 660 actually requires only one 6-pin power connector as opposed to the 460 which required two.

I replaced my Radeon HD 4870 card with an MSI N660Ti-2GD5/OCV1. No issues installing or getting setup. The plastic card hold down bracket would not close because the heat sink rises above the vga board. I just removed it.
