Dell Inspiron 5680/ ST# H2B71Q2 - GPU upgrade options ???
My second option would be the Dell S3222dgm, and I'd get 2 of those... I had the S3220dgf and am able to upgrade due to bestbuys great extended warranty.
Thanks!

The cards that will work with your current power supply won't give you any real boost in performance. I checked your ST# and it looks like the power supply is a standard ATX unit, but I cannot tell for certain (Dell typically uses proprietary units on their models). Users on other forums claim it is a standard ATX PSU. Upgrading to a 650W would get you enough overhead for a 4060 and 750W would allow for a 4070 Super or 4070 Ti Super.

So I could potentially upgrade the power supply but you’re saying that a 4070 Super still isn’t good enough?

If you want to make full use of that monitor, you would want to pair it with a 4090, a 850 to 1000 watt psu and Ram and a processor that won't bottleneck it with appropriate case and cooler for the CPU. It's a very high end gaming monitor. If you're not looking to essentially build a new computer and spend that kind of money, I would look into a lower end monitor.

I am currently in the market for a new gaming laptop or desktop. What I forgot to post is that my work laptop is Alienware x15 R2 with Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 TI laptop gpu…. here are the rest of the specs:
Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H 2.30 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)I am perfectly fine having a more advanced monitor until I upgrade and shouldn't this laptop do much better or equal to what you're suggesting? I am actually getting two of these Aw3225qf monitors… I'm doing it! Look forward to your responses and Happy Fathers day!

Hey, Laptop parts don't run as fast as their similarly named desktop parts. That being said, you do have a pretty high end laptop and it will run the monitor pretty well until you decide to build a desktop to replace it.
