Hello everybody and Happy New year to ye all. I would like to ask a question about if the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 1085MHz 4GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI OC WF3X. I am wondering will my system take it or is it too much Graphics card for my computer. My system is a Dell Precision 690 Workstation, 0MY171 Motherboard, 2 Intel Xeon 5060 Dual Core
3.20Ghz processors, 20GB fully buffered DDR2 memory at 667MHz quad channel,
Geforce 8800GTX GPU 900MHz 768MB 384-bit, 2.5TB storage HDD, 1Kw PSU. I am hoping to be buying the card tomorrow along with a few other bits.
Here is the link for the card. http://www.dabs.ie/products/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-760-1085mhz-4gb-pci-express-3-0-hdmi-oc-wf3x-8X4J.html?refs=494130000-55120000&src=2
Thank you all in advance.

If you have a pcie slot and the right power connectors from the PSU there is no reason it wouldn't work in the computer.

Now it's not necessarily a problem, but don't be alarmed when you don't see the 760 use all of it's available 4GB of VRAM, because of it's bus size it'll top out just over 3GB

Storm Killer,

I see some new graphics cards (GTX 750 TI) require UEFI motherboards. Are you sure the Gigabyte gtx760 will work in the non UEFI Dell 690 motherboard?

Hello Norman1, I am so sorry for the lateness of my reply. Yes the GeForce GTX 760 worked wonderfully in the Dell 690 workstation. I did have to purchase an adaptor power cable to power it but I picked it up in Maplin and it was relatively cheap. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask and I will promise to be more promt with an answer if I can.

Regards
Nicky
