1650 Super Problems

[stil7z]

I've just dropped a 1650 super into my Optiplex 9020MT, for some reason I cant get display to my monitor. It only wants to show up on my monitor using the integrated Intel Graphics. The 1650 is detected in device manager and the bios.

 

Here' is what I've done so far:

Unplug the VGA cable connected to the motherboard (obviously)

Install latest game ready drivers.

Disable Intel HD graphics.

Updated to the latest bios.

Go into the bios and select NVIDIA HD instead of auto.

 

I've got I.T. class right now (I say this so you guys can leave some complicated instructions without much explanation if needed) so hopefully you guys can leave some extra ideas for me by the time I'm finished. I get a green light on my monitor saying it is on instead of in standby when its only connected to the 1650 super, the screen is just black it wont even show the dell logo on boot or show me the bios just no display what so ever.

 

Thanks!

do you have the pcie cable plugged if its available ?

did you use sata/ moles to pcie ? because that is not recommended especially  with this sketch psu 

try using it in another system

The 1650 super has a PCIe cable connected to it, correct?

[stil7z]

Yes 6-pin is hooked up.

@Fasauceome

is it via a sata or a molex cable ?

@TofuHaroto

No

Would it not plug directly into the PSU? What am I missing?

[ThatOneRussian]

Also, if you are using a different input for iGPU such as hdmi and then display port for GPU check what input your monitor is looking for.

No

 i still recommend trying it with a different psu with better power delivery 

try it maybe in a friend's rig

if the oem psu doesnt have a pcie cable usually you can plug a sata / molex cable to a pcie cable and then into the cpu not that is not advised

@ThatOneRussian

Monitor uses VGA or DVI, the input is correct.

@TofuHaroto

No friends of the sort, your only thought is the power supply? I'd have to buy a new one.

 You might have to select one or the other. It doesn't just automatically detect.

[stil7z]

@ThatOneRussian

Mine actually does, but I have checked to make sure, it is using digital and not analog.

Don't

These OEM PSUs and Mobos have proprietory wiring you will fry your board

[Hairless Monkey]

Could be that the proprietary motherboard simply does not support the GPU, even with latest bios.

[stil7z]

@TofuHaroto

I am well aware of the proprietary connector the motherboard uses, there is countless amounts of evidence showing the use of a 24-8 pin adapter works fine and will not fry your board.

That is possible 

Some OEM chipsets do have proprietary firmware that doesn't work with discrete gpus

If I were you, I'd try to find another PC to plug the card into to verify that it works.

Okay I can confirm the card is fine. I hooked up a second display. Old 720p tv through hdmi and the card will display out to that. For some reason I just cant get it to display on my main monitor with dvi. 

[Hairless Monkey]

Bad DVI cable?

@TofuHaroto

Okay after trying 3 different cables one being hdmi to dvi. I had no luck.

 

Went digging in the basement and found another dvi display and it works. Strange as the first display was working fine through VGA. About a month ago I had it hooked up to a gt 1030 through dvi and it was working. Not sure what the issue is. 

 

Sucks because I had bought a DVI-D cable to take advantage of its 75hz capabilities which the one that is working does not have. At least I'm not stuck at 720p though.
