Hi all,
I'd appreciate your kind help with following topic: I need to upgrade the graphic card on my XW8400 (2x X5365, 32GB, Quadro FX5800, W7 64). The Quadro FX5800 works like a charm but I need CUDA higher than V2.0
So here is my spec:
- CUDA: 2.0 or higher
- Memory: 4GB or more
- Resolution: 2560x1600 or more
- Connectivity: 2 monitors or more
- Power requirement: no restriction (due to replacement power supply with plenty available power and GPU connectors)
- Width: maximum double slot
- Length: long card if double slot, short card possible if single slot (due to cooling, there is a card in the 4th slot)
- Fan: if double slot, the fan(s) must be positioned towards the center or the end of the card (due to the card in the 4th slot)
- Height: no restriction, no low profile required
- Price: lowest possible (target below 200EUR/250USD used)
- Compatibility to HP Z800 and HP Z820 required (for future system upgrade)
I found the cards listed hereunder and then I bumped into the UEFI/legacy BIOS topic. My boot environment is BIOS and to my understanding no possibility to change to UEFI. Also I can't find any information about what cards can run under legacy BIOS.
Therefore my questions:
Would any of these cards work on the XW8400?
Geforce GTX 690
Geforce GTX 745
Geforce GTX 970
Geforce GTX 980
Geforce GTX 1050 Ti
What other cards could you recommend? (fulfilling the requirements above).
For now I cannot afford a new system, but only a graphic card. Therefore, if there is no card that fulfills my wishlist I could compromise following and give it a try:
1) abandon the compatibility to possible future systems (Z800, Z820)
2) resolution down to 1920x1200
3) memory down to 2GB
Thanks to all for the kind support!
