So i already have a gaming pc with a Nivida EVGA GeForce GT 610 (i know it sucks) so can i just take it out and replace it?

I've had a PC with the same card as you. I going to assume your motherboard has the port big enough, and you have the power supply for it. Other than that it's as simple at removing the old and putting the new one in.

You can just make sure you uninstall the drivers for it while it is still plugged in. Once they're uninstalled remove the old card and add the new one. Install the new drivers that come with the card and you should be all good. I had issues with the drivers on the cd not matching the card so if all else fails just grab the newest driver online.Enjoy :D (R9 290 is a great card)

it depends on what cpu and motherboard and power supply you have , and what you're trying to replace it with. You have to make sure that your power supply can handle the graphics card you wants to buy instead

yes. make sure your power supply has enough wattage and amps for the card you plan on putting into your pc. The power supply unit itself should have the amps and wattage rating on it. The amps you should look out for are below the +12v rail. This rail will be the main connector for the graphics card. if not, you can always buy one on amazon.

You can put the new one in but before you install the new one you have to uninstall all of the NVIDIA drivers then you can put the new one in and install the new drivers for the AND card.

WILL NOT replace internal video card! I just had a customer return one of these because he said that the Q and A section said that it would replace a internal video card. For the record this is not true. Please don't answer in this section if you don't know the actual answer.

Yes, but both card must be same memory and a GTX 780. Can be different makers but it 's better to use same graphic cards.

Graphics Card = NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M GDDR3 (2.0GB) w/ Optimus Technology. Not sure why Amazon doesn't have this listed as a bullet point on the product description, but we'll look into and see if we can get it updated. Thanks! - XOTIC PC.

No. You can't swap out the graphics card from your Mac model.Get a Windows PC if you want to actually control what goes in your system... better yet, build one.

Most likely, you can. As long as the machine has a free pci-e slot. If no slot, then if you have a removable pci-e VGA card, remove it and install this card. If your VGA card is soldered to your motherboard, you can disable it and install this card in the free slot. It's also possible to run this card in tandem with another card. You'll need to research that issue. I can't say if you'll need to upgrade your power supply. Check the MSI web site.

Adam D. Prody, While you can replace the existing video card, it does not ship with the expansion capabilities for a second. If you are looking for a CrossFire system, you might want to consider a CybertronPC Assassin. You can see Windows 7 versions here:

Mario Jose J. Manzanero, The system uses only non-proprietary parts, so if you want to install another video card, it would be easy to do. If you do so, please make careful note of the power requirements of the specific card you choose to install, as it may require you to upgrade the power supply as well. Also, the proper installation of any component that does not damage the system will *not* void the computer's warranty.

Mr. Turner has the right of it. I haven't looked inside the case, but possible problems are not enough space for the new card, and not enough watts from the power supply. Then there is the hassle of upgrading the software drivers. It's not a good idea. It sounds like you want a customized unit. You can go through Dell or find a company that builds to order, or assemble it yourself. Be sure to check out any company that offers customized units. Often the cheapest is not a good idea.

Hi Owen, Of course you can. We don't have anything proprietary on the design of this computer that will prevent it from being compatible it other replacement parts. Please keep in mind though that warranty will not apply to any parts that you replace and depending on what kind of work you do to the unit, may void the warranty completely as well. Standard replacements done properly should be okay. Please contact us at http://avatargamingpc.com/support if you have any further questions. Hope that helps!

Yes you can. You will need a larger than average tower however, as the 780 is a long card.

Yes you can but you should upgrade your graphics card, I recommend a Geforce 750 gtx

You should be able to. Just make sure to uninstall the video card drivers fully. I would recommend using a utility for the purpose.

Hi there, Apart from static precautions.. ground yourself on the chassis of the pc.. just be care full when removing the video card.. there are sometimes small clip on the holder ( that's where the video card sits on the motherboard)that needs to be moved slightly to allow you to remove the card, just have a good look.. otherwise very simple.. unplug things that might get in the way.. then go for it..

yes, do you want to buy mine: http://bucasu.ecrater.com/p/20305436/graphic-card-upgrade-geforce-650ti

Nope. You will only need a new power supply for an upgraded video card or major internal items.

Yes, you can replace the processor. And if you place high detailed games yes you should. Its graphic card rating is a 4.6 out of 10 it shows. Everything else is 7.5 to 8.5.
