Can the Cleveland motherboard support the zotac GeForce gtx1050 2gb oc edition?

[Brajuh90]

So basically I looked up the gigybyte and asus gtx1050 and they were both fairly similar 6 pin connector so I wasnt worried about if my motherboard could power the cards. Low and behold I go to staples to order the card and find there's a zotac version there that I can walk home with no order. So I assume is Asus and gigybtes cards are 6 pin connecters then this will be to. No if itsnt and now I don't think my board can power the card. Every time I turn the system on with the card installed it will go to the hp screen and say esc for startup menu. I press it and nothing happens it just freezes there. Any ideas?

The Zotac has no power connector, correct? Well, it doesn't need one. The 1050 power draw is under 75W, which means the PCIe can supply all the power.

If you can see something on the screen, the card is working.

The problem is that the 1050 requires a UEFI BIOS. Go to the HP website and see if they have a motherboard bios update. And if not, you're out of luck. And no 1050 card, regardless of manufacturer, will work without UEFI.

Thank and im going to update my bios and hopefully it works and I don't have to go get a different card or motherboard.

The problem is that the HP Cleveland-GL8 motherboard's BIOS lacks GOP (i.e. Graphics Output Protocol) compliance.

The GeForce GTX 1050 is a card that uses GOP.

HP says: https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c02679517

The Cleveland motherboard uses an AMI BIOS version 7 that is compatible with UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface).

They don't mention anything about GOP compliance and many customers have found that they couldn't get many of the GeForce GTX 750 Ti model cards to work either. GeForce GTX 9xx cards also don't work.

So I need to get a new mother board. Fuuuck I really hoped that wasn't the case.

Im gonna see if my buddy has another motherboard, if not I geuss im going to have to buy a new motherboard. Thanks grandmaster flash, and are there any differences in performance between the zotac GeForce gtx 1050 2gb oc edition and the gigybyte GeForce gtx 1050 2gb oc eddition and the Asus version or are they all the same performance.

I would expect the Zotac GeForce GTX 1050 2GB OC Edition to have a slight edge due to its ~50MHz higher factory GPU clock speed.

I just watched a video on the to versions of all three and the zotac was lowest fps out of the 3 by about 1 frame each time. Asus had one more fps then zotac, and gigybte had 1 more fps then Asus. Out of the three gig seems to be the best but only by one or two fps

The FPS difference is too close to even be noticeable during gaming.
