Will GTX 650ti video card work in HP p7 1050 T with caramel motherboard it has PCIe 2.0 and intel H77 chipset w/ should support the card ( if HP didn't hobble the bios , ) it has i3 2100 + 8 GB Ram upgraded 550W PSU
and latest HP Bios? P7 + M.B. specs say MB suports max of 8 GB Ram like I have already does that limitation include the 2 GB of GDDR5
on video card?
***
I tried 2 Gigabyte brand R7 270 2GB cards and they were apparently not recognized by the MB bios fans came on but
no signal to monitor on DVI or HDMI or no post even with Intel IGPU drivers disabled in Win 7 x64 dev. mgr. also 2 - 6 pin aux power connectors were used with previously installed 550W upgraded power supply .
PC will only work with i3 2100 IGPU at this time . I would prefer the Gigabyte R7 250 but 2 cards thus far have not worked .
M.B has PCIe x16 2.0 which is fine with R7 290 PCIe 3.0 video card according to Gigabyte's website and presumed backward compatibility of PCIe 3.0 to PCIe 2.x .
Just wondering if anybody else bought an HP P7 mistake and has
succeeded with a GTX 650ti card . .
