Hey guys, I just got my new Dell E520.
I tried to install my old nVidia 6800 256 MB Ultra GTO card into it (previously had it in a dell 8400), but it was HARD to get in. I had to bend its housing with plyers a few times just to get it to fit in. Now, it's finally fitting into the slot but its a bit crooked. It works fine and I installed the drivers, but I get a warning from nVidia that the device is not recieving sufficient power and is, therefore, lowering its performance to accomodate.
I was wondering if this is because the E520 power supply isn't strong enough or is it that the card isnt in the slot snug enough?
Thanks,
Eli
