Question Dell Vostro Video upgrade problem

[Thordog60]

I have an old Dell Vostro 460, I bought an GTX 1660 ti to upgrade the video, It goes the splash screen then after a bit it goes to "no signal". It has the 350 watt Power Supply and is connected with the 8 pin connector. It states that this card will work in this computer. any help would be appreciated

GPU upgrade options for Dell Vostro 460 with the stock 350W power supply:

GPU	Power consumption	Memory	Req.
NVIDIA GTX 1660 Super	130 W	6 GB DDR6	*SATA to PCIe adapter
NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti	125 W	6 GB DDR6	*SATA to PCIe adapter
NVIDIA GTX 1070	145 W	8 GB DDR5	*Dual SATA to PCIe adapter
NVIDIA RTX 3050	130 W	8 GB DDR6	*Dual SATA to PCIe adapter

* Typically, the stock power supply in a business PC does not have the necessary 6 or 8 pin connectors to power the GPU. In such cases, you may need to use a low-power GPU or a SATA to PCIe power adapter. Alternatively, you can change the entire PSU.

PS 8300 / Vostro 460

I think this is a NON UEFI system.

If there is a newer UEFI bios then secure boot must be off with Legacy Option Roms ON. Otherwise you can ONLY use Radeon HD series

aka HD2400 HD3400 HD4600 HD5770 HD6670 HD7750 HD8000 series.

WILL NOT WORK with ANY R Series card due to the Video Bios not supporting DOS VESA Video mode 103.

I don't know if the GTX 1660ti is UEIF only and does not support in it's video BIOS running on old non UEIF systems.

I know the GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080's will work and that's where I stop on these old systems.

Thank you for this information. I thought I had done my homework. I did learn that some 460's have secure bios that can be turned off and some don't, unfortunately mine is legacy only...
