Alienware Graphics Amplifier Driver Download

[Jomega Gibson]

Thegraphics driver that comes pre-installed on Dell notebooks is configured to support the graphics hardware included in the notebook. The driver release available on nvidia.com may not include support for that hardware until a later release. Users attempting to update the driver may select a driver that supports the graphics card within the Graphics Amplifier but not the notebook GPU, resulting in loss of all Dell-specific driver settings for the notebook. To resolve this, beginning with Release 361 drivers, the NVIDIA installer will block the driver installation if the driver does not support the specific Dell notebook. This support is necessary to ensure that Dell-specific driver settings are preserved during the driver update.

Users should update their Dell notebook graphics drivers only with drivers that support the NVIDIA GPU in the notebook. This may involve waiting until a UDA driver is released that includes this support before attempting to update the drivers.

I have a Alienware X51 R2 with a 330w power brick, 16go of RAM a Core i7 processer and a Geforce gtx 660 graphics card. In DCS 2.0 I have to have most graphics option at a low setting and get 60 - 70 fps. However, when the action starts ever second or so the fps drops to 20 - 30 creating an annoying stutter. If I replaced the existing graphics card would I be able to run higher settings and get rid of the stutter ? I'm looking at the following cards;

Graphics cards will rarely upgrade the visuals in DCS. Of course if you are going from a low end GPU it will help. I run a GTX 970 and the "4" (3.5+0.5)GBs of VRAM helps quite a bit, especially with my triple monitor setup. DCS uses mostly the CPU. That being said, chichlidfan is correct and you want as much VRAM in the GPU as you can afford. Depending on your CPU, if you can, I would suggest overclocking it, even if it's just a slight bit. This will help quite a bit.

Keep in mind a cpu over clock will need better than stock cooling. It's an H87 chipset so it may not overclockable. 330w is also on the weak end of psus. Is it an actual power brick? Or an internal psu? According to the specs you would need a gpu that uses 2 6pin and less than 175w.

I currently have 2 go of Graphics card Ram and, if I understand correctly 4 go will be better and if possible 8 go would be great. I'll have to look into which cards would fit into my tiny PC and again the possible power problem.

I currently also have graphics card driver problems, my screen goes black briefly and I get a little box to tell me that "Display driver Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode driver has stopped responding". Something I hope would disappear if I change GPU. I've been trying all sorts of fixes to date to little avail.

I have a a 1060 founders edition in my X51 R2 with 330w brick and it works great! As you may know the x51 can only use GPUs with a blower type fan due to its design, and as far as i know the FE is the only 1060 with a blower thats small enough to fit.

330W may sound enough if you do the theoretical math but if you look at the stableness it needs to deliver whatever wattage you need you should never ever exceed 75-80% of the rated max output. if you do so, expect wrong voltages, lots of heat building up and you also may experience random errors due to failing voltages.

My review of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier last summer was incomplete in that I couldn't find a capable host computer to distinguish the performance difference between AGA vs Thunderbolt 3. Through many eGPU builds with different enclosures and hosts, I've found the Alienware 15 R3 to be the perfect candidate for AGA vs TB3 testings. I used the original Razer Core because that was the same one used in the review. The graphics card is the RTX 2080.

Thunderbolt 3 eGPU was plug-and-play for this Alienware 15R3. It's an eGFX certified Thunderbolt 3 laptop and one of the very few to have direct connection from Thunderbolt 3 port to CPU. Also unique to this computer is the AGA port for the Alienware Graphics Amplifier. It's routed similarly as TB3 port, a 4 PCI lane connection directly to the CPU. As the HWiNFO screen capture below shows, Dell reserved an x8 to the discrete GTX 1070 graphics card, an x4 to the Thunderbolt 3 port, and an x4 to the AGA port. The GTX 1080 Ti was via Thunderbolt 3 and RTX 2080 was through AGA.

I ran the RTX 2080 first through the Graphics Amplifier then Razer Core. Nvidia drivers were latest version, 411.7. The external GPU connected to an HP Z27Q 5K monitor. All benchmarks were through external monitor with internal display off. I also disabled PCI Controller 1901 [GTX 1070 dGPU] to make sure no glitches were happening. Here are the numbers.

Here we see the performance difference between the Graphics Amplifier vs Thunderbolt 3 is similar to that of internal PCIe slot vs TB3. The gap lessens at higher resolutions. The AGA is no doubt a better performer when paired with a capable host such as this Alienware 15 R3. One thing to note is the proprietary cable. I've seen boot issues due to a damaged/kinked cable. The end connector is hard to remove and typically requires force. Limit the removal of the cable to extend its life.

Are you using the older razer Core, instead of the V2? I'm thinking of buying a second hand razer Core, but I'm curious if a rtx 207o fits inside it. Considering the pcie slots and all.

I'm looking to fit the gigabyte rtx 2070 windforce inside.

Sorry, you're right. I was looking at the FHD AGA numbers. Looks like the direct pci-e connection via the AGA really pays off. Big gap in performance. I guess that we could basically expect from a desktop PC isn't it?

Maybe interesting for others facing the same problem, I solved it by adding the following line to the file C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Premiere Elements\20.0\Online\Hw Acc Render\All_Lang\HW\Files\allowlisted_cards.txt:

If all the GPU cards are in the list for Premiere Elements 2022, is there a way to pick the GPU from preferences or does it pick the Intel 630U as the default? I have a GTX1070 Max Q and a GTX 1080 in an Alienware graphics amp but Premiere and PS Elements do not show these cards to choose from. Do you or anyone seeing this know the answer?

I don't know if it will work with PE2022 but with my notebook having both, Intel and nVidia, GPUs, I can set the preferred GPU to use in the Intel GPU utility that comes with the driver on a per application basis. For example, I can select an application EXE in that tool and select the GPU to use (default, Intel, nVidia).

I can't test it with PE2022 because I returned it, got a refund, and use now a completely different product and never looked back. Still being subscribed to this thread, I got an email notification about your question, maybe my answer can help you.
