EDIT: Update... see this post. It may be only Dell OEM GPUs and some other random ones that work... it's very hard to say.

Just wanted to mention, my G5 was delivered today with a 3060 Ti. I intend to keep the GPU and swap it with something different. There seems to be some confusion as to whether these systems prevent the installation of older GPUs, so I made sure to test that immediately. Here are my results:

I turned it on and made sure it booted properly to Windows 10. Then I rebooted, pressed F12 to access the UEFI setup. Went to "Secure Boot" and disabled it, then rebooted and let Windows load fully. Then I shut it down, swapped out the 3060 Ti for an old OEM Radeon HD 7570 1GB (pre-GCN Terascale2 GPU), turned the system on and it boots to Windows 10 without any issues.

Whoever had problems using different GPUs in these must have either been doing something wrong or had a dead GPU.

I'll check it with something even older just to be sure, but I'm almost certain it's going to work since this 7570 is from early 2012.

It's worth mentioning, I didn't bother testing it at all with Secure Boot on, because people had said that's what was causing the GPU compatibility issues... and it isn't really needed anyway. Unless someone is doing some really strange things and is concerned that their computer will boot an unauthorized operating system (Secret agents with bootable USB Linux drives?), there is little point in leaving this enabled. In fact, leaving it on prevents users from doing basic diagnostics using completely safe bootable USB devices or reinstalling Windows themselves.

Thanks for the info! I figured it was possible and was going to try to swap the 5700 xt system out with a 750 ti tomorrow when they arrive. Seems it should be no issue. Good to know.

Yeah, I had the issues. The only thing I did differently was not doing a reboot with secure boot off before installing the new card. Maybe that's a necessary step.

I got annoyed and flipped the whole system for $1450. Damn, never even got to try this. My hunt for a graphics card continues.

Got my 5700 xt systems today. Just to add to this, I didn't disable secure boot and it booted just fine with an old 750 ti.

Small follow up...
The 3060 Ti from the G5 has been working great in my main rig (Ryzen 5 3600, Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite). Nice big upgrade from my old 970. The card and cooler seem to be of good quality too. The little tiny bit of the PCB that is visible is green (don't see that often any more!) and there are no markings to identify exactly what model the card is (just says Geforce RTX), but the construction of the card feels solid and even has a back plate.

I can't say for sure if it's louder or quieter than my previous setup. My 970 was using an Artic Accelero SIII with a Cougar 120MM PWM fan strapped onto it. That was a pretty quiet setup, but I'm really not noticing much of a difference at all at idle, and it seems to be about the same volume but a different "tone" at load.

Performance wise... what a difference. No normal gaming situations seem to be GPU limited anymore at 1080P at 120Hz.

Overall, quite happy with this purchase. After moving some GPUs around and reselling some things, I should actually break even or possibly make a few bucks from upgrading to this 3060 Ti (thanks to the stupidly high resale value of one of my older GPUs). Sure beats spending $1200 on one on ebay or spending days (weeks?) trying to get one at a massive markup from a retailer.

Thanks Dell!

Now I just have to figure out what to spend my ~$27 in Dell Rewards on...

Nice! I was able to score 4 MSI 1650 supers on Amazon for $189ea a few days ago. I plan on tossing those in and pulling the 3060ti for my rigs. That should make these an easier sell for a beginner gaming rig.

EDIT: Actually, there is even more to it than this. My XFX RX570 RS Black Edition 8GB (or whatever it's called) works just fine in this thing. Soooo... it's a roll of the dice knowing which GPUs will work in it. Wish I had a few others to test.

Just wanted to give an update.

I think these machines actually DO have a white list for OEM\Dell GPUs... it just doesn't matter what generation they are from???

My OEM HD7570 1GB GDDR5 (rebadged 6570) works fine. I dropped in an OEM Radeon HD 8570 pulled from a Dell Optiplex 3040 and... it works too!

So, I just tried a PNY GT630 2GB (GT430 Fermi rebadge) and it gave the amber\white flash indicating a video problem. So did another PNY GT430. These cards do *not* work. I don't have any newer nvidia cards to test at the moment.

When I get an opportunity, I will test it with an XFX RX 570... but I have a feeling it won't work.

In my opinion, these systems are terrible for someone who likes to keep a system running for years. How could you possibly hope to find a different GPU to use in this thing? It is seriously looking like you have to seek out Dell OEM GPUs (which are nearly always blank, unmarked cards) or it just won't work... on top of needing a weird power supply and a proprietary motherboard.

I'm amazed that the RTX 3060 Ti built for Dell is as good as it is... it's actually a really nice card. Does anyone know who is manufacturing these cards for them?

Anyway, sorry if my previous post gave any misleading info. Never would have thought Dell would bother creating a GPU white list but somehow make it include cards they put in their machines 7-8 years ago. Maybe there is something special they look for in the GPU firmware that simply identifies the OEM as Dell. Really pathetic though... no matter how you look at it.
