Will my old LGA775 motherboard take 1050ti?

I know this is wery weird setup, and my old processor and 4 GB RAM will be bottleneck, but I cant upgrade full platform because of limited budget (plan to do it in future after buing new graphic card). Will GTX 1050ti work on my old system? Google not give a exact answer.


Here is my old-faithful platform:
MB: Asus P5KC Deluxe (P35 Chipset) https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/P5KC/
Proc: Intel Q9550
RAM: 4 GB DDR3

Even if it fits and doesn't fully bottleneck a big problem with those older systems are the PSU's. Pascal finally started to scale back but that was only after several generations increasing in power usage. You'd likely need to get a more powerful PSU but then there's no guarantee that the MOBO will actually provide the right amount on its side.

Not my case, I have 750W Thermaltake PSU, should be more than enough. My Radeon 4830 works more than 5 years on this setup, and it survived even bitcoin mining :)

ledhead11, thanks for respond.
Find this reviev on YouTube, but that MB is on H81 chipset.

No problem, then honestly you should be fine. I haven't done research on 10xx series having issues on these older systems but by the numbers it looks like you're set to go. I wasn't sure if you had a pre-built of that era, those are usually the ones with PSU or size issues. If you play at 1080p or 720p you might not even have to deal with bottlenecks with a few compromises on settings. I still have a q9300 system in a closet with a GT640OC that was rocking those resolutions up until a few years ago.

Just got my 1050ti and tested the setup. No luck: c
System started at first, but when installing the driver got BSOD with "Critical process died". Tried reinstalling the driver in safe mode, no errors, but still can only boot in safe mode. When booting in normal mod get BSOD in 5-10 sec.
Tried sfx / scannow and other common fixes. When system boots HDDs spinning slowly and get disconnected randomly during boot (I have 3 HDDs and 1 SSD). Voltage drop? But I use 750W PSU. Maybe power circuit of MB cant handle Graphics with no 6-pin power connectors

Maybe a solution still exists, but it's time to rest for my old platform. Get cheaply second-hand LGA1150 Core i3 2120, system starts with no problems and no errors after installind chipset drivers. Will replace CPU in near future.

Thanks a lot for respond.

Yeah I'd recommend a clean install of windows also. Prior to reinstalling the 1050ti also make sure that Windows itself is fully updated. No guarantees but sometimes the Windows Display/Device Manager(or something similar) needs to be updated. It's, on Window's side of things, what works along with the NV drivers. You might even be able to simply update before trying to reinstall.

But first. . . .

Wasn't completely sure about "Maybe power circuit of MB cant handle Graphics with no 6-pin power connectors" meant. If the card has ports for power they usually all have to be used. It's pretty rare these days for NV cards to run exclusively(fan-less or mini-ITX models mostly) off the bus, nearly all need their power connections hooked up too.

If this TI is exclusively Bus powered then yeah that can be a problem. MB specs might say they comply with certain PCIe specs but it's known that they're not all always consistent and GPU's really want consistent power. Newer PCIe 3.0 usually provide enough power(but not always) but PCIe2.0 spec'ed boards have been known to have issues with anything beyond GT6xx cards. PCIe2.0 has more than enough bandwidth but power can be questionable. A last ditch effort if this board is PCIe3.0 make sure the BIOS is set to that for the PCIe devices. If on auto or 2.0 that might be a problem also or at least affect efficiency but off the top of my head I never heard of a LG775 that was 3.0.

Did some tests yesterday and you were absolutely right about PSU!
As I said, I assembled new PC from scratch, end tested it with other 600W PSU, it works fine. But when I connected my 10-years old 750W PSU, system shots down in 5-10 sec every time after boot. Seems like performance of old PSU drops after years of active use.
Still didn't tested old P5KC motherboard with the new PSU because I don't need it now, but it's good chances that it works with new graphics.

Now it's time to deal with damn windows activation problem after motherboard change, but it's for other thread.

Thanks for help.
