My now more than a decade old desktop (see signature) needs a new GPU after its Radeon died.
A bit of a long shot, but looking to buy the absolute minimum for displaying 4k@60hz, i.e. with Displayport >=1.2 or HDMI>=2 for <$50 shipped.
Figured I'd ask in case y'all have some old GPUs no one...
Ah, good to know that the adapter will work, and also why plugging the 6-pin in directly did not work.
The GPU is a GTX titan (original), and the PSU, per HP specs, is a "925W, 90% Efficient Power Supply". Unfortunately there are no specifics beyond this. But seeing that this workstation can...
I have an HP Z640 workstation that has just two 6-pin cables for graphics cards (ugh). I'm looking to put in a GPU that requires a 6 and an 8-pin cable.
How straightforward would it be to just power the GPU from another power supply?
Things that won't work
1) plugging the two 6-pin...
still, my ideal solution would be scaling based upon pixel pitch, which would obviously require specific hardware information, but then allow for the exact same scale across any given combination of potentially different multi-monitor setups.
my 2 cents, having just bought the monitor
1) great review NCX
2) 3D performance: in my experience, you can actually sit as close to the monitor as you'd like (e.g. even 1-1.5ft away), it's just that your margin for error to avoid crosstalk is much lower.
