Question Is GeForce RTX 3060 Ti okay and compatible with an HP Z620 Workstation ?

Product: HP Z620 Workstation
Is the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ok and can fit & is compatible with hp z620 Workstation?

Concerning the two power connectors on this graphics card, must both of them be connected to the PSU ?

What is your psu wattage? If you are asking if both power ports on the card need to be plugged into with the psu, yes they do for the graphics card to function.

PSU 800W

So, as you state here above:
IS IN NOT THE SAME AS HERE:

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/fo...can-fit-is-compatible-with-hp-z620/?p=5480667

WHICH SAYS:

"Only one is required not two. As for the power connections, 1x PCIe 8-pin is required for the RTX 3060 Ti. as seen at both the nVidia and ASUS web sites. If there is no 8-pin PCIe from the HP's power supply, then often an adaptor such as SATA to 8 Pin will work OK for the card. "

WELL...?

So, the graphics card RTX 3060 Ti is for the newest PCs, and this PC is too old... for this card.

Updating RAM or Graphics Card is NOT advantageous and not recommended for such an old PC, rather you can buy a new PC, and this is an exceptionally good decision...

FOR MY PURPOSE OF VIDEO EDITING, GRAPHICS DESIGN, AND PHOTO EDITING,

BEST TO HAVE A BETTER PC EG from the 2020-year model and up... or better.

Also, if NO FUNDS/MONEY FOR A NEWER WORKSTATION...

This PC - HP z620 - is better for older graphics cards, the graphics card RTX 3060 Ti needs ONLY one power connector, AND MAYBE WORKING WITH Z620...

IS THIS correct...??? TRUE?

Did you read the whole thread? It concludes you do need both power ports plugged in for power? Your Motherboard will take the gpu, but what processor do you have on board?

It's stupid that it should require a second power connector. It's only a 200W card. You can easily do that with a single 8-pin. I have a Dell OEM 3070 that only has one 8-pin connector, and it works fine.

The card is:
iGame GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Ultra W OC

HP Z620 PC

Soon i will post processor specs...

What is the exact PSU? I can't imagine any 800W PSU without two PCIE connectors actually being an 800W PSU unless the PSU is like 15 years old, in which case you still shouldn't use it. You can't expect answers to questions like this to be very accurate if you provide incomplete information. Just "HP Z620" doesn't provide that information because that is used for a lot of very different configurations.

I think with the help of adapters I can have two 8-pin power connections... Are adapters ok to be used?
E.g.
6pin to 8pin
Sata3 to 8pin
?
Please provide Amazon.com links for such compatible Adapters...?

 

[John Chesterfield]

Don't use SATA adapters.

 

[John Chesterfield]

In fact, on that system, don't use ANY adapters.
