being a workstation a better chance but don't know about the motherboards bios support for these latest cards a lot with legacy bios find they don't work , but I do see your model with a 900 series used ?

your pretty much at the buy and try this stuff got real funny these days and things aint so plug and play anymore ..


maybe check dell forums on your model and see if anything been reported


just to add be sure if you got server OS installed that NVidia will support it under a desktop card


this kinda makes it look promising seems you stand a good chance of the 1050 working fine

well in the end any upgrade you do is all your own risk . the prebuilt manufactures only guarantees there computers work as sold to you as is out of the box from there factory with what they put on it , not a drop more

you buy , you try , and hope it don't make you cry

just buy the card from a retailer with a generous easy rma/ refund policy if things don't work out ..



''i m using window OS '' ?????? so many .

You need to make sure that the motherboard in your computer is compatible with that particular model of GPU.
Look up the specs of your computer, find out the motherboard, and see if it is compatible with the PCIe slot. Your PSU is more than enough to run a 1050ti.

The 1050ti requires PCIe 3.0 x16. The tech specs show it has a PCIe x16, but I can't see what version. You're going to need to dig down more and find that information.

so you saying these cards don't work at all on a AMD motherboard ??? they for the most part have only PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots ???

his board will support the card physically but you cant trust if the dell bios on it will a lot of prebuilt owners find this out the hard way and there new card is not supported

Right, you also have very valid points as far as the operating system and BIOS support. I was looking at the physical interface support. His PSU well overpowers the card, but that PCIe interface as you say is a PCIe 2.0 which, by that alone would make it incompatible.

back to square one .. you buy, you try ,and hope it don't make you cry

look

''No, it will not work. Found out the hard way but oh well, if someone could suggest a cheap motherboard that has uefi bios please do ''

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3320226/1050ti-760gma-p34-compatible.html


then the thing is buy a NVIDIA reference card from and manufactured by NVidia themselves and save that e-mail telling you yes it will , and then when it don't hold them to it ????

for you and all yuou seem to have to do just to get a card its just not worth in in a old disposable dell prebuilt

iff it did not work all the time cost and headache over the card will cost you way more then that dell is worth to start with


another example

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/t/19601491


even if dell don't upgrade the bios uefi or not the cards still may not work like the 900 series did not in till dell gave them XPS guys a new bios that would ??


''The GTX750 is a UEFI card. The Precision 690 was released before UEFI was implemented and may not be compatible with UEFI devices. You would need to check with Dell to see if there were any BIOS updates to allow compatibility with UEFI devices or if the system can run UEFI devices. Otherwise you may need look into Earlier Geforce models for this workstation.''

old 750 ti's had a switch on them for legacy / uefi use todays 750ti's that been removed


thing is here again on page 2 all saying the 900 series worked well ???

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/t/19611857?pi21953=2

that maybe a better bet then I would thingk if a 900 card works so should the 10 series thing is this issue came to light with guys installing the 900 series cards and a lot found they were a no go and failed to work with out proper motherboard bios support for them


anyway its all your call in the end on what you want and need to do

good luck

Dell T3500 owner here. Running RX 480 and Windows 7 with zero issues. Have seen many others run 1050ti and 1060 cards in these as well. Compatibility is not 100% guaranteed but very likely you will be successful.

Latest BIOS for these T3500 is "A17". Suggest you install if have not already.

- [edit]
Update chipset driver recommended too.
