This is my First post i have the same specs as he listed 2 dual core xeons 12gb ram and a raided total of 1 tb

it would't matter if even if you managed to get a GTX TITAN X in there the rest of the system is too weak for it to matter
1. you are limited to pcie 1.1 @ 8X max so thats gonna bottle neck

2. the cpu is a duel core and ddr2 so that pretty much makes it worthless for gaming
3. there is no fix for the bios issues thats due to it being a server board ... and the lack of interupt 15h hand off support

 

[shmadul]

but how did they get it to work ????????

 

[davide]

the only way to make it working on my poweredge was to install an old low profile ddr2 graphic card on the first pci-e x4 slot (the first from the top, it works just on that) and the geforce on the pci-e x8 slot (the last one). with this configuration i was able to run windows and install the geforce drivers. graphic cards must be installed both. before run the pc, do a cmos reset by removing the battery for some seconds.

Welcome to TPU

You should have started a new thread for this ! Rather than resurrecting and hijacking a 5 year old thread.

Quit hijacking threads. Start a new one. Then in your first post list all your specs

i just need to know what im doing wrong

what you are doing wrong can be summed up as above

by old low profile ddr2 graphics card do you mean any graphics card or a certain type IE Nvidia, Amd, ATI Ect....

HIJACKING OLD THREADS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN HIJACKED AIN'T COOL

 

[MxPhenom 216]

congratulations you put a mediocre GPU into a mediocre, old computer, that wont even benefit from that card.

HEY I DONT HAVE MONEY FOR ANOTHER COMPUTER PLUS ITS NOT DOING TOO BAD! Installing Drivers right now for the card had to convert the pci e x8 into a x16 slot by chipping the back of it off and it works perfectly. Just Because you dont think this will make the computer better doesnt mean it wont the on board is a ati 8mb vram card so the 2gb vram nvidia is a huge improvement. One thing i dont like about this fourm is that you have 100 people saying you cant do it thats stupid it will never work and you should not post if you dont know how to resolve the problem or if you know how to resolve it just say how you resolve the problem instead of telling the person that this wont improve their computer Ill update my progress

5:11Pm installed drivers and taking out top gpu( ati card )

5:23Pm Put ATI card Back in going to try to remove ati drivers in windows and boot with ati and use windows on the nvidia card

DONE Here is how you install a better GPU into a Dell Poweredge 1900
1.like davide said put a low profile card into the top pci e x 4 slot and the one you want to use into the last pci e x8 slot
2. plug a monitor into the top video card boot into windows
3.install drivers for main card
4.shutdown
5. disconnect monitor from top video card and plug a monitor into the last video card
6.Done Thanks Davide for your help Now I can Play Advanced Warfare on my pc
(YES I CAN ACTUALY PLAY ADVANCED WARFARE @ MxPhenom 216 It takes a pretty decent pc to play advanced warfare)


Sorry for hijacking this thread i just wanted to make it clear how to do this so others can use this guide

Ok Davide one last question for you is there a way to run the main video card without the low profile card installed??????

No, Advanced Warfare does not take an advanced system to run it. It runs the same engine every other CoD has used. This "system" of yours is just proof it doesn't need much to play it.

What you did to get this thing working is pretty basic trouble shooting steps, anyone with half a brain and any experience with a computer could probably do it.

it wasn't working because its a server board and the bios is hard coded to expect a GPU IN x4 slot (the 15H hand off I was talking about earlier)
the overlly general term -- 15H hand off is the bit of code that tells the board to hand over display output to the dedicated card (among other things mind you)

ummm it wasnt that simple

maybe if u were not so busy screaming about hijacking the thread you would have seen that its a problem specific dell power edges

 

[MxPhenom 216]

I like how a mod had to come in here and merge like 4 of your posts in to one from all your double, triple posting, and put a big message in bold telling you not to do it, and yet you still seem to continue on with it. Also I dont think OneMoar talked about thread hijacking once.

And thanks for the laugh about your alienware not running CoD. I needed that while studying for my finals.
