I think I have a Medion MS-7728 2.0 motherboard on my pc so will it take a MSI GTX 1050 Ti

[TasmanEight]

Hi There,

I have a Medion Akoya P5364 E Model No. MD8319, i7 3770 processor 3.4Ghz, 16 ram, I think it has a Medion MS-7728 2.0 motherboard!, My PC came fitted with a GT530 Graphics Card and I want to upgrade the card to a MSI GTX 1050 Ti OC Graphics Card. The question I am asking is does the Medion MS-7728 2.0 mean that the motherboard has a PCI-Express x16 slot 1, 1.1 or 2 on-board the motherboard because I am not sure if the pc will be able to take MSI GTX1050 Ti OC Graphics Card and work well. I would appreciate it if you could advise and help in solving this issue as I will not buy this graphics card if it is likely to cause my pc problems.

Kindest Regards.

I don't have any information on your computer (I've looked everywhere and I can't find anything - just the basic specs).
I don't know if the card will fit. The original card that was there was very small. You'll need to do some measurements by yourself.

The dimensions of the MSI card are: 177 x 118 x 34 mm

Other than that concern, you should be able to plug the GTX 1050 Ti 4G OC into your PC.

a guy asked almost the same thing the other day

looks like you at that '' you buy , you try . and hope it don't make you cry ..

maybe post on his thread and see if he found anything new out for his ??

the pci-e of 2.0 and 3.0 will not affect the card like AMD motherboards is still using pci-e 2 and the cards work as expected on them

pci-e 3 has a higher bandwidth but you will not saturate that with pci-e 2 slot

its going to be more about motherboards bios support for the latest cards used may work fine then may not ???

don't look like a 1060 was doing too good here ??

translated with bing


Board MS 7728 2.0 mit GTX 960


'' put just a MSI GTX 960 in my PC, but unfortunately the PC does not boot up. Again, the run-down GTX 550 in all. Unfortunately the Graka just is no good.


Have read in some forums that Medion does not allow other Grakas / locks. Is that right?


My BIOS is AMI E7728MLN. 30 G of the 20.06.2012 and cannot be the of the Medion page available provided BIOS updates update. 2.14.1219 displays Aptio BIOS itself.


Do I actually want to buy a new Board? Then I can buy new same a new Tower and everything else... But I didn't...''


''is really sad how simply talked about the Bush. really sad... almost as sad as the mainboard MS 7728 the Medion in your computer has installed. The network is full of howling posts about non-working upgrade attempts with the graphics card. You have to enter only the model + graphics in google... I did time just that before I ordered the r9 390 me... now I need to buy me yet a new board. What I me but in any case not more will buy are Fertigpcs by Medion. Thanks for nothing''

I think from what little I fonund on that deal is you buy you try and hope it don't make you cry .

stick it in if it works great if not contact there support for a resolve or new real life build or rma/refund new card for something that 'may'' work in it

that part number is like what MSI uses and I thought it was just a MSi retail board used , but I did not see any of that from any MSi site

so must be a proprietary OEM Medion designed board and with that your at there mercy .

like a lot of prebuilts them companies sell whole ready to use computers you use them till they don't do as needed you throw in trash and go buy there new better models that now will for the time being

looks like all they guarantee it to work is how it was sold to you with what they put on it ,out of there box, from the factory ,and not a drop more

anything you do over that is all your own risk and cost

sorry

[TasmanEight]

Thank you for your answer and my pc housing/casing is very large so there should be no problems as it can take the biggest size of graphics card measurement wise with ease and still have plenty of room left, my concern is if MSI GTX 1050 Ti OC will work OK on the Medion MS-7728 Version 2
motherboard without too much loss in performance as this graphics card is a PCI-E 3 card therefore, I am not sure if my motherboards PCi-E x16 slot is a 1 or 2 generation. I also know that there is no need for a 6 pin to power this card as it has been designed to run on the power supplied by the motherboards PCi's slot. I have also heard roamers in the grapevine that this card may not work to well on a MS-7728 motherboard, is this correct or is it rubbish! And if anybody out there who has a MS-7728 motherboard with any kind of PCI-E 3 graphic card slotted in that said motherboard and if it is working OK without any problems!

I would really appreciate if anybody out there could answer my queries. Thanks

Your motherboard is, as junkeymonkey said, probably proprietary OEM harwdware.

The card should work in that motherboard, although you may want to update the BIOS on the board to the most recent if possible. It doesn't matter what generation it is as long as it is a PCIe x16 slot.

 

[helpstar]

Search for this combo over the net, if someone got it running.
A pre-built PC is very unlikely to be upgraded, because of not updated bios versions which are downloadable from medion and not MSI. If the latest version is not supporting more than the video cards the original PC was sold with, the graphics card you gonna own won't be recognized.

Don't worry about a bottleneck with the PCIe port, the motherboard is not that important for the version itself. You got an ivy bridge CPU, which natively is responsible for the pcie version and in this case it's definitely 3.0.

 

[junkeymonkey]

''It doesn't matter what generation it is as long as it is a PCIe x16 slot. ''

yes it does anymore today. lot of folks not getting support for todays newer cards and just S.O.L

things aint as plug and play any more and it now you got to support them not them supporting you that's a thing of the past

 

[TasmanEight]

Thanks for the information but I can't seem to get or find an up to-date Bios from Medion or on any other website, does this mean that the MSI GTX 1050TI OC 4Mb Graphic Card will not work as I have not purchased this graphics card as yet, as I am trying to find out if anybody has been experiencing any problems with a nearly 5 year old Medion MS-7728 version 2.0 motherboard after fitting a new up to-date pci 3 graphic card in an older motherboard. If I buy the card and it does not work then I will not get my money on this product once it has been taken out of the package! Can you or anybody advise on my next step.

 

[junkeymonkey]

???? contact Medion support and get there assurances if they say yes save all they told you if when it don't you have a little something to hold them to

take it to a computer shop and have them put one in if they do and works fine pay the man if they cant then shake his hand say thanks for trying and go home with your money .

 

[helpstar]

try and error

 

[COLGeek]

While this thread has gone on a bit, I would have no qualms personally trying to install a GTX 1050ti into this motherboard. If it doesn't work, then you have a new GPU for your future upgraded build.

I really don't think you will have an issue though. It should be fine.

 

[junkeymonkey]

'' If it doesn't work, then you have a new GPU for your future upgraded build.

in other words you new 200$ dust collector /paperweight

you se where guys could not get a 900 series and a 1060 to work in them I posted from above ?? [one from there own forum ]

I'd contact there support and put that ball in there court and save what they tell you and hold them to it when it don't work

good luck now all you can do is what you feel is best for you and live with the out come

you see all the threads just here at toms over these latest cards ? like I say things aint so plug and play anymore as it use to be even with custom builds

I guess this is there driver support page

http://www.medion.com/gb/service/_lightbox/treiber.php?msn=10015999&prod=MEDION%20AKOYA%20P5328%20E%20EU

notice how out of date there NVidia g force driver is ?? there not updating thing s for current card use or just lazy support ?? your call

Thanks for your advise. I have spoken with Medion Technical Support and have come to a dead end as the only bios update they have for my computer is 4 years old and may not be suitable and itself may cause problems to my pc which I am not willing to take.

Thanks again for all the advice to who responded to my inquires in my hour of need.

 

[junkeymonkey]

sorry , looks like all they guarantee it to work is how it was sold to you with what they put on it ,out of there box, from the factory ,and not a drop more

but good luck on your next venture

like said before, could work, but you will have to try it yourself
