Will a GTX 1070 work on an old-ish server board?

So I could get a couple of E5-2650 Xeons (Sandy Bridge) So they're on the LGA2011 socket and I was looking for a motherboard for them. I found this: Dell Precision GN6JF T5600. And the supported Graphics cards don't say anything recent, but it might just be outdated. Is it possible to know this in any way? I currently have an FX-4100 and I'm 100% sure this would be a better setup.

If it has a PCIE X16 slot then I don't see why it shouldn't work.

According to their site, it supports 300W TDP PCIe 3.0x16 cards, so you should be fine.

 

May I ask how much you're spending on the motherboard? If you sell your current setup and drop down to an RX 570 or 580, you could build a much newer gaming machine with a much better upgrade path.

Thanks man, but I intend to use the FX-4100 for a NAS (I know I guess kinda backwards) And I don't really want a whole new gaming system because I'll be moving to the US for a year as an exchange student and I can build a new mini-ITX PC over there with the parts being much cheaper. I just need a quick upgrade because it's just torture to use the FX-4100 daily. I can get the two Xeons and the MB for around $370
