Will gtx 1080 TI work with dell motherboard

[Corey_9]

Hello, i have a custom build PC. still using my first motherboard that came out of a dell xps 8700 has a I7 processor in it its served me well but i just ordered a gtx 1080 TI so.. is it good to run that card on that board? or can different motherboards give better FPS/Performence? Or does it not matter as long as the card fits lol? My PSU is Corsair CX 750 watt. Processor I7 4790. 16gb RAM. and im running a acer 25inch 1440p monitor. currently have a gtx 1080 gigabyte but i honestly dont think gigabyte are that great brand when it comes down to cards..its really loud makes a buzzing noise when fans are above 55% and it just didnt work as well as my MSI card but anyways.. could anyone tell me if i need to upgrade my Motherboard and if it has any effect in performance.

It will run just fine.

you should be fine, as long as the card fits. If you had a 4790k a new board would allow you to overclock so no a new board now without a K wouldn't really make a difference.

well that xps 8700 had issues with 900 series cards but dell updated there bios to A-10 to support them cards in a 8700 ?

now will there latest bios support the latest 10 series ??? I'd check at dell forums and see if anyone has luck on that 1080 ti in one ??

if not just be sure you update that xps to it latest bios before you install that card


''Let's hope it works out of the box, because getting Dell to update the MB bios to support the 970/980 was like pulling teeth. No way are they doing another bios update for us for Pascal.''

maybe on the last pages of that thread got your answer ?


this looks promising

''So far, it appears that there have been no reported BIOS incompatibilities between the XPS 8700 and any of the GTX 10xx series of graphics adapters. For a list of some user upgraded XPS 8700 systems using GTX 1080 cards, see the following link:'

well if you know the 1080 worked cant see why the 1080ti would not but then your dealing with a dell so its all your own risk in the end
