My question is regarding another member's reply to below post
Link to the post
I actually have same ThinkCentre M81. According to Lenovo's Product Support my Nvidia 570GTX is NOT included in the supported list. I can't use this GPU. doesnt get detected in bios, device mgr. I tried resetting cmos, bios to PEG, installing DDU, trying a different GPU which worked, etc..
Is this normal for a motherboard to exclude particular GPU models?
Why would they and why the 570GTX which is still relevant and popular for gaming.
Thank you

Member replied:
"There's no reason that you cannot install a graphics card into that system as the motherboard has the required PCIe x16 slot and the case can support full height cards. You will need that PSU upgrade as well."
