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 . :( .

if it works with other video cards, then it should work with any video card. i see pictures on google of a p7 with a video card in it. max ram on the MB has no correlation to max ram on any GPU you put in there.

FWIW Anonymous is wrong for the most part and nobody was talking about V Ram or syst ram compatability either .

This OEM mother board will only work with* up to Nvidia GTX 670 or *some* 7000 series ATI anything any higher and it wont work on an HP Carmel 2 motherboard with a ver. 7 BIOS.

FWIW It was previously using the IGPU in a Sandy Bridge i3 since upgraded to an i7 and not a card at all .

^^ This is patently false .


community ,

Mark it that I solved it myself and tell Anonymous to do his homework before posting something stupid like the above! it wasnt at all helpful I already tried 2 other card that didnt work by the time I posted this .

I put a GTX 670 in there and it works fine OTOH a GTX 750 or ATI R7 270 wont post so no any video card wont work it has to do with the (specific ) MB BIOS and GPU compatability & ofc PSU & aux connectors.this is especially true on OEM MB's like this one . OTOH presumably a 650Ti might work also
