Aurora R16, compatible with Nvidia RTX 4000 Ada?
I have the basic Aurora R16 which has only a 500 W PSU. The PC was shipped with RTX 3050. I am interested in knowing if I can upgrade the graphics card to the new NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada because I need more video memory for use with AI.

@Codrut Popescu Total Power Consumption of the card is 130w so your 500w would probably work. So you only need to deal with power pin + dimension of the card.
PNY RTX400 has
which should be pretty standard. So if your current case can take 9.5"(L), I think it will work just fine.

nVidia RTX 4060 FE requires a minimum 550 watt PSU. What processor do you have? How much RAM?

I am asking about Nvidia RTX 4000 Ada
As I mentioned I have a 500W PSU in an Alienware R16. The CPU is i7-14700F and I have 64 GB of memory. The default GPU in this PC is RTX 3050 which has Max Power Consumption of 130 W, the same as the RTX 4000 Ada.

@Codrut Popescu I am not familiar with that nVidia offering, so I will let others speak to its usefulness.

@Codrut Popescu That's a workstation card. Not a good idea to put in a gaming computer like the R16.
Just so you understand: this card cannot be used for gaming or any type of gaming workloads. This is strictly for workstation use, rendering etc...
I am sure it will fit, but it's not a good idea...

@Vanadiel As strange as it might seem not all of us are buying Alienware for gaming. I already explained I need this for AI where video memory is more important than GPU speed.

Hopefully the UEFI VBIOS will work in the R16, as otherwise you might end up with a black screen.
If you need more video memory there's other things out there that pack 24 GB of VRAM, which is 4 GB more than this card. Just saying...
Keep us posted how things went.
