Old Optiplex BIOSes are known to hate modern graphics card. It used to be the AMD R9s and RX-470/480 cards, and apparently they've lost patience with NVIDIA now, too. The safest bet for a typical Sandy/Ivy Gamerplex conversion is an NVIDIA card, Pascal or earlier. Anything newer could be hit or miss.
It doesn’t make sense to pair modern GPU’s with those old Optiplex’s anyway though. Not just compatibility but, bottlenecking the GPU performance. I say 2060 super up to the upcoming 40 series makes no sense.
Maybe the 3050 doesn't have the legacy support and works with UEFI-only BIOS.
you are probably correct
Great to see Optiplex community is still going strong. Although I have moved out of my 9020 SFF, I am still using its i7 4790 CPU and still strong enough for 1080p60 gaming.
4790 isnt good enough for 2023 titles. AAA titles. Even my friend who still uses a 7700k cant play battlefield 2042 at all.
@travis3701 I've seen people play modern games on the i7 2600 of course the 4790 can play modern games
I play warzone on a i5 4570@@CuriousGamer022
Just a guess but maybe checking to see if ACPI 2.0 is enabled? Seen some older nvidias have the same issues with pcie 2.0. Otherwise ya i'm also at a loss, one of those weird issues.
Were both your sandy bridge systems using xeon processors? It might be a solution to try, as those boards "technically" weren't meant to house xeon CPUs as those were intended to be enterprise chips. Maybe there's something missing in the microcode that doesn't allow the xeons to initiate the GPU? Personally, I'd try with it an i5 2400 just to make sure that wasn't the issue.
i have no idea 😆
all i can say is
i really appreciate these kind of troubleshooting videos
thank you for the awesome video
looking forward for the next one
though this is a common issue with pairing old system with new cards
i have read the comments and you did said the bios was up to date . ..
that was the only thing i can think. ..
and may be changing the pcie gen 2.0 to 1.0 or other . .. just may be
thanks again for the awesome troubleshooting video
did you have to upgrade the power supply in order for it to sustain correct power ?
I am having the same issue with my 9020 ssf, installed a hd 7570 into it, and there is no signal to the monitor. I installed the driver manually, and it does show up in device manager, and the fan is also running. I went to the BIOS and it showed VGA compatible for the pci slot the card was in. Cannot figure out what is wrong.
Have you checked what southbridge chip the two MBs are using? It might be a compatibility issue on the PCIe 2.0 MB.
lets go my boi back wit another banger
I was just watching one of your older videos and saw you help and kid with his pc. On my gaming laptop the storage or memory keeps on dropping randomly with downloading anything. I deleted some old games witch were 20gb and 3 seconds later it dropped down to 0 bytes. Any help?
I'm sure most of the viewers hence subscribers are way better versed on these Optiplex systems than myself... Having said that I would appreciate a little help on a good if not the best GPU choice for gaming on a 7050 model... Currently running 16gb DDR4 and a i7-7700 processor... Hats off and a big thanks before hand
I put a Zotac 3050 OC in a HP Z420 E5 1620 V1 Xeon "Sandy Bridge" and it worked great.
did you have to turn secure boot off in the bios menu first before installing a gpu? also is the old optiplex in legacy mode or uefi mode?and do you have to switch that?
my guess would be no legacy bios support on the 3050? i had an issue paring a newer gpu with an older motherboard i dont remember the specifics though it might've been a sandy bridge i5 2400 and a 5700xt or perhaps a gtx 1070
you can get issues where you wont be able to see the bios if the card only supports uefi on an old mobo.
I think I’m having this problem I’m upgrading my motherboard soon cause I have performance issues with a Rysen 7 2700x with 2060 the mobo is a b350 bazooka Msi
@@cloudx3975 b350 and a 2060 should have no issues. If you turned on fast boot by mistake some bios will boot and not enable you to enter them. You can either go to it via software from the mobo vendor or by hold shift as you hit restart inside windows and get into the uefi that way.
Good ole Optiplx builds. I just did a few yesterday for customers. Love all the content lately. Keep it up!
Hi. Sorry to crash this thread but can i put a q to you? i want to put the internals of a 7060 mt into a new case because i need a stronger psu, for a gpu. There are adaptors for the main 6pin mb power supply but i don't know how to feed the 4pin cpu power on the mb, I'm assuming it's proprietary Dell and i can't just use a standard psu 4pin cable. Any ideas? Thx and sorry once again for crashing your thread.
@DeepakKumar-lv4te I believe they male adapters for that as well. I've always come across those unique adapters on AliExpress or other places like that.
sometimes u can get away with it if theres bios updates but then sometimes u wont. its a coin flip tbh cuz not all gpus have legacy support
So true. I had this issue with an older Dell Vostro. It never got an updated UEFI BIOS so like Polaris AMD cards and newer wouldn't work no matter what I tried
Got an RTX 3050 for my son's old Optiplex 990, upgrading from a GTX 970. I have done everything I could think to do and could not get it to provide signal to the TV. The same RTX card worked in my old HP Z400 machines with no issues. :-(
there might be a seemingly unrelated bios setting preventing video from initializing. My inspiron 530 didn't work in raid with a new ssd(+2hdd) and wouldn't boot if smart hdd was on . The ssd couldnt report and crashed the check. i just went hdd only in raid and shut off smart hdd . Semi related but only really supposed to report temps. just a weird example.
cool vid!
i have a question,
you build a computer for a friend. When you checked the computer in the parking lot you used a LEPOW Portable Monitor... i looked into it and was interested in knowing if it would be a good buy to help me use OBS Studio and use my main laptop for gaming. I wanna stream and record content but im balling on a budget, much love!
Maybe it can't run at PCI-e gen 2.0? I know my Optiplex 390s I use are obviously 2.0 as well, but haven't gotten a 3050.
tech yes city recently did a video on rtx 3050 and 6500xt showcasing the difference on pcie gen 2,3 and 4. For gen 2, 3 he used a z97 mobo that had a bios option to switch between the 2 previous generations using a i7 4770k.
Your videos are always entertaining
So is it still available to run even on lower pci
I have optiplex 9020 running Gtx 1650. is there possible to upgrade to rtx 3060?
Hey,thx for the video very informative,about the 790 optilex,i think is because that peticular model,because dosent have csm or someting similar that makes that some newer card i with not work,is better optilex 3010 because it has a normal cipset h61 and it has suport for 3rd gen and more settings conected to the pcie,hope this helped you a bit.
I always wanted to get an optiplex pc, since here in Greenland, trying to build my own pc is not easy as just order parts and done with it. Many online retailers don't send to Greenland, and we don't have Microcenter or other huge stores about pc-parts in the country. Ordering from online, shipping cost always around $60-75, and could take up to 2-4 weeks to arrive, if we're lucky with weather.
Did you ever get your pc built?
@@patrickgeagan9509 I did, a ryzen 3 with rx580 and upgraded to rx6600
Did u try display driver uninstall tool?
did you try using an older nvidia driver
Hey there. I'm totally stumped, thought you might be able to help me. I my recently bought Dell OptiPlex 9010 i7 Quad Core 3770 3.9 GHZ. I bought a Gigabyte GeForce Nvidia GV-N970G1 4gb "Windforce" card. I also bought a 600 watt power supply to upgrade the needed power. When trying to install the drivers - I get an error saying that the drivers could not find "compatible hardware". The card lights up, fans are spinning - but the system does not see the card. It's not showing up in Device Manager - I don't know what to think or do. Have you encountered anything like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
G'day Danny,
I'm wondering if it may be the Galax GPU BIOS🤨, the 3060Ti Eagle worked🤔 so it would be interesting to see if a Gigabyte 3050 Eagle works in the PCIe2 Dell also
I wish I had enough $$$ at the moment to get a 3050 to help but I don't have $599AUD to blow on one when another $69AUD will get the much better 6600
with the 3050 plugged in
video cable plugged into 3050
when you turn it on and everything is on and spinning
hit the reset button once and see what happens
Will it work on optiplex 5040?
Few suggestions, first update the BIOS on those Dell motherboards to the most recent version available, which appears to be version A24 from 2018. Under Important Info on the BIOS page it shows that multiple sequential updates may be needed for versions prior to A10 and A4. Settings related to UEFI/legacy boot mode and CSM can have an impact here, but note this can also cause windows not to boot depending which mode it was installed under.
The other thing to try is to remove the "Dell factor" from this completely, pull the 2nd gen CPU and ram and find a used 60 series board (such as Z68) to drop them in and test with (update to latest bios here too).
Last thing to note going forward is that Ivy Bridge (3570K/3770K) is the first gen to support PCI-E 3.0 (with a 70 series board such as Z77). Best to stick to that or Haswell (4670K/4770K) or Devils Canyon (4690K/4790K) going forward for the DDR3 stuff.
The point of the Video was to 'Upgrade' a Dell Pc. If he removed the Motherboard for another one, it would defeat the purpose. The other reason is so that other people that are trying to upgrade a Dell will know that a Rtx 3050 didn't work in this situation... Like he said, most ppl won't have extra hardware to swap and see what is the problem.
I understand that he asked for solutions as well but I'm pretty sure he meant a way for the RTX 3050 to work with the Dell. (Motherboard and Processor)
Edit: Like he said, It's most likely the Pcie lane being 2.0. Although it's weird that the 3060ti worked.
I think testing the pcie 2.0 on other systems to be an interesting topic, which Danny did ask for others to test and comment. Is it just Dell? So getting a z68 or whatever sandy bridge Mobo and testing is a possible future topic for him.
Does the dell optiplex 3010, 7010, and 9010 (3rd gen) use pcie 3.0? Or is it also 2.0
Does it support UEFI boot? If so, you should run Windows in EFI/UEFI mode as well.
I upgraded a system from 8.1 to windows 10 and was using a hd 7470 and it won't post a image when connected but when. I use intergrated it works fine if anyone know how to fix this please reply and thank you
I have a optiplex 3020 Sff, will a rtx 3050 it’d card bottleneck?
awsome video and comparison on the dell / 3050 issues....
Hi Danny. I bought a RTX 2060 to slap in an Optiplex 7010 and I had the same problem you had. I spent 12 hours adjusting bios settings from legacy to secure boot etc, but I couldn't get it working. The GPU worked in my other PCs including my Optiplex 3020. I tried installing 2 GPUs at the same time, I tried everything. Then I traded out the PSU with an older model that I had and boom. It booted up. The only difference between the 2 power supplies is the old PSU's 6+2 PCIe connector has actual 8 wires that go back to the PSU compared to the new CX600 PSU that has 6 wires and have jumpered the 2 grounds over to the +2 connector. I wonder if this jumper is not compatible with the PCI 2.0 slot??? Because that is the only difference and it now works. Maybe it is just a coincidence, but I am stoked that it finally worked for me, maybe it give it a try.
this gives me hope- I have an optiplex 990 and got the 3050 no dice on boot up. It looks like my system is booting up- no errors just black screen. My power supply also has the jumper. I'll try a new power supply next week.
@@boogiedownnyc how is it goin... ?? r9 270 also black screen...
Interesting... perhaps I'll have to test the 3050 in my 3020 as well. It's working fine in my 9020 test bench. But I don't think PCIe Gen2 is your problem. The 3020 is also PCIe Gen2 like the x90 series, as is the 3010. The H61 and H81 chipsets are both limited to PCIe Gen2. Were you running the 990 in UEFI mode? I know that can cause problems with some newer GPU's refusing to run in legacy mode. And if you are, the UEFI implementation in those systems is rather buggy.
I'm kinda' leaning towards a UEFI issue here, but no matter, you should be able to run the tests you want with the 3020 since it's Gen2. You can check in GPU-Z, but it should be running at Gen2x16. Wish I had an 790/990 to test the 3050 in now.
The issue is because the 2nd gen/3rd gen dell boards and some other motherboards dont support Secure boot, which isnt supported in the 2nd and 3rd gen oem boards. Haswell, 4gen OEM boards support Secureboot which allows the new card(the RTX 3050) booting
So it would work in an optiplex with an i5 7500 for example?
@@ryleycannings6928 As long as the powersupply isnt a 150w-250 should be perfectly fine. Maybe some bios setting changes needed but would work
I have seen something like this before with a Asus motherboard with version 1 not 1.1 or newer but just version 1 and you were limited to a version 2 graphic card the north gate on the motherboard was the issue.
Can someone make a list of compatibility for a 790 MT?
Idk why my rx 6500xt won't display on my dell optiplex 7020 it has a i7 4770 and a 500w psu and the gpu is powered but still doesn't display can someone help me with it I got windows 10 and I'm new to pcs
hi sir. is it also compatible the GT 1030 2gb gpu for dell optiflex 7010 dt slim pc, the psu is 250watts?? thank you =) hope you can help sir =)
This is same issue with me I have optiplex 5040 i have tried installing amd and nvidia but the screen just does not show at all my graphic card were not even more than 1 GB vram
Its not driver issue since you cant see anything on screen not even bios boot menu. Its gpu or motherboards power delivery
Hey , can you make a video of you testing the stock dell optiplex MT playing CSGO VALORANT FORTNITE Etc
I have an i3 4130 8gb ram with an Radeon R5 240 I have 1tb of storage what gpu can I use for my pc I need more ram Ik that much
You can try to force the bios to use the integrated graphics, then Boot to windows plugged in to the igp and switch over the displays after you sign in. Had to do that on a old optiplex with a rx 480 because it only had uefi support
That dell has a xeon 1270 in it, no integrated gpu.
@@leemachiin well shit I thought it had a 2400 or something
I think it's possible that in some dell pc's, even if the mobo offers iGPU capability, it may be hard-locked by Dell b/c they included a discrete GPU. I think I've encountered this scenario on some business PC's after I tried removing their GPU to put in other PC's, it was quite a few years back though and going off memory. I don't think I was able to find a Bios/uefi setting that allowed them to work w/o a dGPU.
@@linuxlover_8436 Many of the manuals will say which GPUs will work specifically on the mobo. The 6500XT is apparently a laptop GPU... so maybe it isnt as demanding as a 3050?
@@heyitsdazy I don't have any experience w/newer pre-builts, except an HP my father purchased about a year ago. The older pre-builts I dealt with never included a list of compatible gpu's. If they include this now, that is a very good change imho. Even though I prefer AMD, it seemed like those older PC's I dealt with were generally more friendly to Nvidia GPU's, but I realize now that it was probably a card by card basis depending on its architecture. I think if one is going to upgrade an older pc, it would be best to see if anyone on a forum or YT video successfully paired the card they are considering w/their motherboard before ordering to minimize the frustration. The only thing I know of the 6500XT is that if video editing or live streaming are important, you wanna stay away from it. If you only plan to game, then it will do ok there. Most would choose a 3050 over it I'm sure for those reasons alone as most probably want to at least live stream or plan on getting into content creation/video editing.
I imagine the x8 connector on the 3050 can't supply enough bandwidth over PCIe 2.0 for the card to run properly.
Dell hav somthing whit secure boot that u cant trun off so if the signal is not in the card it dont start the GPU
Would you look at that a new card is not compatible with a 10 year old Dell system. It has to be some kind of bios issue for sure just not liking the 3050.
Or maybe its just that 3050 it may work with another since the 3060 Ti worked.
will an EVGA Geforce RTX 3060 XC Gaming 12Gb work in a Dell Optiplex 3020
I am having a similar issue with an rx580 2048 not diplaying on my optiplex 9010.
Hey man I’m from Ireland and I’ve been on ps4 for 5 years and wanted to switch to pc I’ve never been able to afford a good pc any tips.
had that issue with my 3060 on my am4 board. wouldn't post or work right but worked fine on my friends computer. ended up going with an rx6700xt instead.
I don't know why this popped up on my feed 1 year later, LOL! I could save you the trouble, the Optiplex and Inspiron BIOS have a lock on the power draw from the PCIE slot. If it draws more than X amount of power it trips the TDP limit and goes into shutdown or boot loops where the lights come on and it just turns back off... It is a "feature" designed to not allow you to upgrade your Dell desktops "for your own safety" (quoted from a Dell employee in the forums). But you can always buy a new model! LOL! I think that is the point right? Can we all agree it's a really horrible practice?
The newer models no longer have the TDP limit in them, but getting definitive list of which models are affected and which are not is going to be difficult at best.
This kinda stuff just simply happens now and then. My Asus Strix GTX 960 4gb has issues working in one of my FM2+ crossfire boards. When it is installed it will randomly cause the system to hard crash to a black screen. Only happens to that card when used with that motherboard. Motherboard works fine with any other gpu.
whats wild is I have booted a system with a 3060ti and a old x5670 xeon in it just fine it did have to get a bios update though
Whens the next stream??
i think my dell optiplex 7010 has a 3.0 pci, not sure though.
I had a similar issue with a HP system with Sandy Bridge. I tried upgrading with a discrete AMD GPU and got a black screen. I tried powering on and off without any luck. I then left the system running for about 10-12 minutes and it booted to Windows without any problem!
Was that required each time? Seems too much of a hassle, unless one really needs access to another pc when it might be preoccupied or in need of repair
My screen turned black with cursor its a prebuilt ive tried a lot of things
I Think you need to do somthing in the bios i had to do it when i installed a gpu in my friends dell
some cards don't support legacy vbios , and the sandybrige motherboards don't all support uefi vbioses thus a work around is to pop in 2 gpus so the motherboard reads the vbios off of the legacy card and boot into windows then the rtx card should work , to prevent pci e 2.0 8x speed due to pci e saturation you will need to use a gt 710 with pci e x1 slot or x4 slot if there is a available slot otherwise the only option is software - duet with refind , just look up some info on "Make UEFI Graphics Card work with Legacy BIOS Motherboard"
I have and old i7 2600k ,32 gb ram with a intel Dp67BG motherboard which has the same issue
Have you tried a CMOS-Reset?
It might be the firmware the different AIB's implement for their individual cards.
The rtx 3050 may need the full 75w from the pcie slot, sometimes those motherboards may only supply say, 65w
Possibly, but it's not a problem with an actual 75W RX 560 running at load, which I tested. Also, when a card is just getting into windows, it's barely pulling any power at all
@@nerdonabudgetbut if you forget to plug in the additional power connectors it throws up a notification and tells u to shut down the pc and plug in the additional power cables
Hi Nerd On A Budget, remember me on the steam asking for help for the kernel power 41 error, well I reinstalled windows from the USB and now the kernel power 41 error occurs less often but it still happens, I probably will send my pc to get it checked out. I will keep you updated on what happens and the cause of the kernel power 41 error.
What the best graphic card for $150?
I think so Beacause the optiplex is compatible with rtx 3050 same thing happens for me I used it one time It worked properly but after we used it for daily use it won't work after
could be something about legacy or uefi modes
The reason why it won’t work on the other pc is because they don’t support dx12 also you should see if the pcie on the 3050 is compatible as well as if there is any new bios update for them and then try them
no... dx12 is only intalised with drivers.... and it should still post... (its also propitary windows sooo hardens my point that it should still post)
heya me and my family have been having trauble and i have being trying to build a pc but we hav not been able with little money we have is their anyway i can email u
Ddu all the graphics driver and install the 3050 without any drivers and see if you get a signal, if so then add the driver.....sometimes drivers cause the issues
You may have figured this out by now, but the OptiPlex 3020 has an Intel H81 Chipset, which is PCIe 2.0 x 16. The 7020 and 9020 do have PCIe 3.0 x 16.
So I can install my Rtx 3060 into my dell 9020?
I was curious when I saw the headline for this one. I have an hp motherboard that has secure boot on it and there's no option to turn it off so it only works with an hd 6570 which it came with in a pre-built system or a gtx 660 ti. Nothing else I've tried works with it. Was wondering if it might be some kind of issue like that. It's a sandy bridge model also. Kinda hurts my heart a little that sandy bridge is going by the wayside because it was such an awesome product stack.
My first system an AM3+ non-UEFI worked with an rx 470 nitro+ UEFI card until after driver 16.11.5. In 2017, on the ReLive driver when it came out, because AMD implemented a Polaris vBIOS check, my driver failed to accept the card. Had to use a third-party tool, atikmdag-patcher, to patch the driver until when they lifted the check with RX 580
is polaris vbios check implemented on today’s rx 480 drivers?
@@muki_x Hi, they removed the check in 2017 when RX 580 was released and it seemed like it was gone since then. The original problem affected anyone with a non-ref. RX 400 card and BIOS back then and in my case when you had a non UEFI motherboard (legacy ROM load attempt * on a card that had UEFI vBIOS).
But they changed some part of wattman API since fall 2022 and RDNA3 so instead it reads from vBIOS (no SPPT powerplay tables there). I can't test this on a RX to confirm RN, but from user reports on forums, it seems this may affect soft modding and customizing values via API, not sure about custom vBIOS in 2023, if it boots, it may run but AMD is sneaky lately.
@@mt441 alright, thank you so much
did you try and use a different power supply it might sound dumb but that could be a problem and i forgot if you ever tried this in this video lol
Not sure what the issue is but my rx 570 worked fine with a old i5 4570, I'm thinking its probably the Dell mobo and bios issues
Probably going to sound like a dumb question, but are your bios updated to the most recent version? It's interesting that the 3060 works, and not the 3050.
Yea it's to the latest one, which fixes a problem that's been known for cards like the RX 460 and 560 that are powered only through the pcie slot. Those used to artifact or crash when on older bios but on the newest one available they work fine, I reconfirmed that as well
@@nerdonabudget I'm baffled by the 3060 working , and not the 3050. I know it's not really feasible in the current market , but I'm curious to see if other brands will work , or if it's specific to that brand of GPU. What brand was the 3060?

You know it
How can we purchase galax cards in the United States?
They do sell them on their website in the US, their stock is just in and out though like every other retailer so it's just a random guess and check
i'm guessing the reason it does not show video because that optiplex model does not support UEFI, and would not work if your bios is LEGACY
I had this same problem with my gtx 760 and all i did was put it in the second slot on the optiplex board and it works for some reason.
I know it's probably a long shot that you'll reply to this, but did you use a riser cable to use the second slot? I'm having issues with my 750 not being detected and am hoping this is it for me
No I just plugged it into the second slot but I think on my board the first slot got shorted out for some reason so I need a new board now.
i have the same problem with a rx 560
Unfortunate development with that 3050 and a classic platform. I wonder if a 3050 from a different AIB would have a different result.
No i have the msi one and didnt work either
for people woundering older cards usally do work with these they just need to be older like a gt1030ti or a radeon 550 rx
Please try the following: insert the 3050 in the not working optiplex and use the hdmi/dp-port of the mainbaord. Maybe you can get the error message. I had a comparable error 1 or 2 years ago.

The 3050 is 128 bit bandwidth and 6500xt is 64 bit. Maybe that has something to do with it.
I myself had trouble placing an R9 270 in a few of these older Dell Optiplex and Vostro units I have laying around, but it mostly seemed to work with at least one newer Vostro. At the time, I got a feeling via various forum thread comments that it had to do w/the bios/uefi of the motherboard(s) were incompatible w/the gpu's bios, and that in general, Nvidias were more compatible than AMD cards when it came to likelihood a gpu might work in an older Dell pre-built. Another commenter here I believe seemed to think it might be CSM missing from a motherboard bios. I think it's just an OEM mobo issue. I've been able to add the R9 270 to a Gigabyte X38 that is older than most of the Dell pre-builts that I have.
Another, non-dell, motherboard with the same chipset supporting Sandy Bridge. I could just be the cheap motherboard Dell is using. I don't know what chipset the board uses in that particular Dell, but if it's, say P68, the trying an "off the shelf" non-OEM P68 motherboard. Or perhaps it's the chipset itself. I expect it's the Dell OEM version of the motherboard.
is danny pumping iron 😁
Is it possible to put a 1660 in a small optiplex pc?
Do you mean slim towers? Those thin shit?
@@Overwankerfuck9292 yes
@@backinds7158 nah you won't be able to
The most powerful gpu you can put in it is a gtx 1650 low profile😂 i have a thin tower too so...
@@Overwankerfuck9292 thanks
Have you tried turning off the psu and holding the power button for 30 seconds? This happened to me when building a system with rx480. I used a 1050ti and 1080ti no problem. But that trick worked for me to get the rx480 to work
Did you do that to drain all the power from the system? I can give it a shot, don't believe I did that yet
@@nerdonabudget yeah, i did it twice actually that i remember. i turned off the psu, held the power button for a whole minute and then let go, held it again for another 30 seconds and got my rx480 to boot up to my test system. Hopefully its something small. good luck! oh yeah if u fix the problem, mind doing a follow up video? would love to see what the problem was.
