Precision 7750 Install aftermarket GPU

Greetings,

I ordered my Dell 7750 with the standard Intel GPU. I am not much into games so I figured I wouldn't need it. In fact, I don't need it. 

However, I know there is a slot on the motherboard for a GPU. Is it possible to purchase an after market GPU to install on my system? If so, would it have to come from Dell or is the form factor standard?

 

Thanks in advance,

Matt

    Welcome to the Dell Community @Muzikman777 

    There are 4 to choose from but they are expensive.

    You would also need a heatsink and fan???

    You will need to get a dell card from a Precision 7750.  The GPU shape changed from the 7740.

    Precision 7710/7720 = MXM a or b

    Precision 7730/7740 = proprietary DGFF card

    Precision 7750 = proprietary DGFF card (will probably be the same shape/size on the 7760 when it comes out)

    Dell doesn't sell them as an after market part? I don't really need one. the onboard Intel has always done the job for me no matter what I do. But, I just wanted the option down the road to do this.

    Don't worry, there are always Dell laptop GPUs for sale on ebay.  You can even find a few for the 7750 already.

    When you are ready, it will be pretty easy to acquire one.

    What does the GPU look like for a new Dell 7750? Do you now where I can find a pic?

    Actually, I just searched ebay and couldn't find any. I'm sure I could buy one from Dell but it will cost a fortune.

    The onboard Intel is good enough for me. I am not a gamer. Thanks for your help.

    To upgrade to a Nvidia RTX GPU on your Precision 7750 you will need the following:

    DGFF GPU for the 7750 (the only one I can find on ebay right now is the RTX 5000)

    DGFF Power cable (search DGFF 7750)

    3x DGFF Graphics Cable  (search DGFF 7750)

    Nvidia Heatsink and fan assembly ?(DPN : FRNMW)?

    So, this is not the Quadro series that they offered when I had the system built? This will fit the form factor for new 7750? For a laptop? They are extremely expensive.

     

     

    Thank you for checking. I appreciate it.

    Do you happen to know of a video with gpu install, as well as screw size for the 3 dgff connectors. I have purchased a motherboard for a 7750 with the i9 soldered on and was hoping to get a 7750 with an i5 and just do the upgrade myself as well as purchase an rtx 5000. Do they not come with a gpu heatsink and fan installed even without a  dedicated gpu installed? Seems weird they would do this and leave one of the fan slots vacant.
