Hey all - I've just bought a Dell RTX 3060Ti to upgrade my son's Dell G5 Gaming Desktop, which will leave me with a Dell RTX 1660Ti to put into another machine.
Any suggestions on where I could grab a new (or newish) compact desktop PC that comes with an integrated GPU ready for the RTX1660Ti to be installed? Doesn't have to be Dell, but I guess that would be nice.
Thanks!
Need to make sure the case can actually fit 1660Ti as well
Yep - that's key too. I can't fit it in a SFF case, but I am keen to look at compact options as it will be sitting on top of the desk. No need for any RGB stuff either. Plain black is fine. :)
I would suggest looking through desktop computer tag and see which ones do not come with GPU. If you find something you like, then contact them and see if it will fit a 1660TI.
Sorry - what I meant was I don't need / want to pay for a pre-built machine that comes with a separate GPU.
Is the dell 1660Ti low profile? Also does it need an 8-pin power connector?
This might limit your options a bit.
Also, what's the power supply in the G5. I think the 3060Ti suggested is 550w?
Yeah, it's not ideal - but I've read a few posts where people have done this 'upgrade' and haven't had any issues. I'll install the 3060Ti tonight and make sure it's all good before actually buying something else for the 1660Ti to go in.
What do you mean by this? As long as there's a PCIe slot available and you have power connectors available should your GPU use one, it should be fine? The integrated GPU doesn't matter and shouldn't affect the 1660Ti in any way.
