Installing a gtx 1050ti

[puredread]

my current pc is an apu with integrated graphics.
im only getting a gtx 1050 to play league at high fps.
After I install the gtx 1050 into the pci-express do i just connect my monitor to its dvi or whatever my monitor is and then im ready to go? and yeah installing nvidia drivers etc

 

[Chugalug_]

Yep, then you're ready to go.
The 1050 should be fine with that APU, but I wouldn't go any higher in terms of graphical power, the actual CPU in those processors is quite weak.
Next time you go to upgrade its gonna be a new rig.

Oh ok thanks after i pluuged my monitor in, do i just go online to get the drivers? Also since im only 16, this pc was on a tight budget.

Yeah, go directly to the product page and download the AMD Crimson software.

wait what is that? Surely if its nvidia gpu it needs nvidia drivers not amd?

Oh, yeah sorry, my bad I was thinking of a different thread! ;.;
Geforce Experience is the one. xD

i'm having a problem with this graphic card. When install it and boot up my pc the screen goes black and starts to flicker but i get no display any solution? btw my onboard graphics is disbaled :/

 

[Chugalug_]

Never disable your on board graphics, ESPECIALLY with an APU.
Enable them again, and plug the monitor into your GPU.

 

[Rashy10]

I've done that already and the problem still consists

 

[Chugalug_]

Unplug the graphics card, does your system boot as normal?

 

[Rashy10]

Yes it boots up using the IGPU and works fine. But once i plug in my new gpu it starts up with a black screen and has little flickers btw i did try my old gpu and everything works fine .

 

[Chugalug_]

Plug in the new GPU, but still boot through the motherboard.
I assume the power connectors are connected?
What are your full specs?

 

[Rashy10]

The 1050 ti doesnt require any power connectors it doesnt take more than 75w which is powered by the motherboard. I have 16gb ram , old gpu is my amd radeon 4800 series amd A-10 5800k cpu and a fx - gigabyte motherboard

Some have 6 pins, just checking. 😉
Do what I said above and get back to me.

Still not working:/

Go into more detail..
So it boots normally without the GPU, but when the GPU is connected it doesn't boot even though the mobo is connected to the display at this stage?

Hi, I have the same problem. A10-7850K APU + NVIDIA GeForce 1050Ti. I even updated the BIOS and still having the problem. When the GPU is set to primary video, it just goes to black after the motherboard logo. Was this solved before?
