Upgrading Graphics
Hi,
If anyone can help me out that would be great, I currently have a dell Inspiron 3671 which I have had for a year or so, everything is factory on it as I haven't needed to upgrade anything until now.
I am trying to play games such as farming simulator 22 which will boot but not run for more than a couple of seconds, now I have looked into it and the game is no longer supported for intel (R) UHD 630 graphics so I now need to upgrade mine.
If anyone can suggest what I need in terms or graphics Ill be thankful as I cant find one on the Dell website that matches with my system and I'm not clued up on the various differences
The min requirements for the game are:
Processor: Intel core i5-3330/AMD FX-8320
Memory: 8Gb
Graphics: GeForce GTX 660 / AMD Radeon R7 265
Cheers

3671 has itty bitty proprietary power supply so its not really upgradeable with stock 290W power supply. Optional 365W power supply supports 225W card. Card must be short to fit in the case.

There is a 50W card that works

upgrade psu to 400+w ATX is easy and cheap in this model. you just need a 24 to 8 pin adapter available off the shelf. you do not have to buy the Dell 365w psu bit you can. 7VK45 365w, Huntkey T1M43 365w, Delta. 365w
The case is 294 mm deep from front to back (which includes plastic front bezel thickness). by gross estimate the metal chassis front to back is 290 mm, which would be the top limit of a card length.
the recommended and not minimum gpu is gtx 1060. you can still use the current cpu which will mildly bottleneck the faster 1060. If you just want to play at minimum/low settings then you can consider gtx 660. the psu upgrade needs to have one 6 pin PCIe connector for 660 or 1060.

Thanks red. I'll have a look into it further, seems like a new pc is on the cards in the future
