It should. My old video card was in the same family (less memory 256MB) and this video card fit in the the same location. I highly recommend watching the youtube videos demonstrating what needs to be removed.

I have a Dell XPS 630i with a 750W PSU. I replaced my old card with my new EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti. It came with the cables needed, easy installment directions. It is much more quiet than my old card. Works like a charm.

Looking over the specs and manuals for the N5030 there is no mention of the video card able to be replaced. Best bet if you are tech savvy open it up and look see if the video card is a hard part (soldered) of the mother board or if it plugs in. Generally if you did not order a special video card in the stock system then it will not be able to be upgraded. Dells manuals are not always the best to go by best bet is to look at what is inside before buying. Look closely at http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-GeForce-8600M-Notebooks/dp/B0045JPG9M the video card center picture shows you the port it needs to plug into the mother board if your board does not have that port then it will not upgrade. Hope this helps

This is just an interface card, to give you DVI output. So if you dell has a PCI slot , then yes it should be. Personally I would purchase a actual video card with a graphics processor and memory on it if your looking to just gain the DVI port, this option will actually give you better performance than the feature card your looking at, and it will display at a faster rate.

I don't know running it with a Dell XPS 8700 and it works great! Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

First of all, if it's me I'll do the matching 4gbx2, rather than one 8gb chip. Second make sure that your Dell model match to these kind of chip especially speed and the number of pins.

nVidia graphic card is not good for D630. I installed a new motherboard with the nVidia graphic card and it burned out within a month.

You will most likely need to update the power supply. Be weary that dell supports small power supplies and graphics cards in their cases.

If your Dell Motherboard supports 400Mhz memory you are ok. Check you pc max of memory for you model see in dell.com 400 and 333 Mhz are compatible.it will work a little faster than the units you replaced.

My new machine is called an XPS15 model 9530 (is that what you are looking at?)It has CPU i7-4702HQ at 2.20 GHz. Display max resolution is 3200x1800; I found app setup easier if I config the resolution to standard HD (1920x1080). Looks good like that as well.

No, this card is designed to fit desktop models only with PCI-E x16 2.0/3.0 lanes at bandwidth of x4 , x8 or x16. Laptops use a smaller more power friendly MXM style card. Look for a GTX680M - the M stands for MOBILE for laptops only. I use the GTX680 in my custom built desktop to drive 3 20'' monitors and a 55'' TV and my laptop - New Alienware 14 uses a GTX765M. I now the AW17 uses MXM cards but my AW14 has the card soldered right to the mainboard and cannot be swapped out as easily so be aware. Also be aware of matching 2 GTX cards for SLI - Im not sure if thats possible with the AW17 and MOBILE graphics cards are extremely expensive. Good luck in your search!

This is a PC version of the NVIDIA series and I doubt that it goes in Laptops also Laptop GPUs are hardwired into the system so you technically cannot upgrade the chip

I tried on a Dell XPS with Win 7 Pro, 32 bit and would not work, no video out. The older AGP card, a 128 meg card, no driver was everfound to work with it on Win 7 so this attempt to get accelerated graphics to work with Win 7. The older card was fine with XP 32 bit.

The answer is a huge no, this card only works on just one model and that is the XPS M1730 which was the end of the line. Dell never made a laptop like that since but the m1530 has everything integrated to the board so once broken isn't easy to fix. You will have to buy a whole new board if you have the dreaded video issue but if just wanting to upgrade just buy a newer laptop. By the way this card for the XPS M1730 handles modern game rather well and stays cool.

H Michael,I have a Dell XPS M1730 laptop. I had a NVIDIA 9800M GTX w/ 2 GB (2000 MB of Ram) installed by the guys at Staples. It boots up in 20+ seconds! A NVIDIA 8800M GTX w/ 1 GB (1000 MB of Ram) will fit the slot too - I was told. This is all I know. Hope this helps.Roxy

Check out your spec's at Dell and then compare with NVidia site http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications The main thing is to be sure you computers Power supply is sufficient. This card requires a minimum of 300 Watts.

This Graphics card will only work in a desktop PC. I don't know what kind of laptop you have, but most laptops don't allow you to increase video memory. You might be able to increase the RAM on the laptop, but don't know if this will help with video performance, but it might.
