will this graphic card work on my alienware x51?

If this is the same system as you have (http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/alien_autopsy_we_look_inside_alienware_x51#slide-0) then based on that article I would say this Graphics Card should fit, and also stay within the limits of power usage and heat for that setup.

Open it and see if you have room to install one. From the looks of it you might be able to swap out the card it came with. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/alien_autopsy_we_look_inside_alienware_x51 Contact the manufacturer if you are not sure.

Yes it will. I have a GTX 760 on this board and it's running great! However, I would go with a R2 board (or a Gen3 board if you can find one). There are few updates on the 'newer' version that you may want.

In most cases yes it will work. However it is not compatible with all graphics cards and would not display my image

Daniel, I would need some more info from your computer to determine for sure, but I think it is compatible. Example: there are many different Alienware X51 computer setups, i.e. Ax51R2-1438k or the AX51r-2683BK and so on. Best place to tell is your Motherboard manual specifications for compatible CPU's. they all may have the same socket but, each may have different compatibilities. Hope this helps.

Yes, it would work perfectly. Just need to plug it into the PCI x16 slot and you would be good to go. Of course, you would a good enough power supply for the card too. 500 watt or higher PSU should do the trick.

Absolutely! GDDR5 Graphic card memory is independent of the motherboard memory. Yes it will work.

Yes, it will take any PCI-E x16 video card, but as to why an Nvidiblow card with an AMD board beats me. But yes it will work.

I own an X51 myself and the answer is no. The 780Ti's length is far longer and requires more power than the X51 can supply.

The most important thing to know is this card only fits in a PCI/X1 slot on your motherboard. This means you need to have a newer motherboard. Make sure you understand that before you buy it. If you don't have your manual from the motherboard, download a free tool called CPU-Z and run it. It will tell you what your motherboard model is. Then Google that motherboard and see if it has a PCI/X1 slot. If you do, this card should work for you.

I bought this for my Alienware M11xR2, which is PC. Have had it for about a year now with no issues as far as I can tell.

Make sure that you have a pci express 16x slot free for the card to go in. Otherwise this card will work fine with your system.

It should work, however, you may need to disable the graphics solution provided by the CPU via your motherboards BIOS.

Sorry for the delay in response. So my local Best Buy didn't have a demo of the Alienware X51. I'm going strictly by Web images. I think the Zalman is too high for the case. There maybe a slim chance it will fit if the stock CPU fan shroud can be removed. This guy on youtube seems to have modded his X51. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd0rx-p0p7I Link is for his first video. Good Luck. Hope this was helpful.

Yes this card WILL fit into the x51. I bought this exact card for my x51 to replace the gt 640 that was in it. You need the 330w power brick in order to use it, and you should get EVGA precision X software to underclock it just a TAD because sometimes while playing grphic intensive games like Metro Last Light it will max out on wattage usage and force the comp to restart. This is not an issue, as you can just lower the preferred power usage with the software. I bought an x51 just to have an itx comp to throw in the living room so I dont have to move my custom rig all over the place. But yes, this card will work fine.

Hi Thank you for your interest. It's compatible but it's not enough to run high graphic games. We recommend above GTX650 / 750. Thank you.

Yes it should work fine. I have the 760 which is only a little less powerful than the 770, and it works fine with my AMD processor. In fact, I don't think it ever matters what kind of processor you have when getting a graphics card.

Yes, this card requires an open PCIe X16 slot. As long as they are following IEEE standards (which if they were not, nothing would work for this motherboard), it should be fine.
