I have an older workstation (Dell Precision T5500) that I put together for audio production a few years ago.  It works great for audio, but I'm trying to upgrade the GPU now.  I have a GTX 760 which has both a 6-pin and an 8-pin power connection.  The t5500 has a 875W PSU (should be more than enough right?) and two 6-pin connections.  I've read posts from others have used the GTX 760 with an adapter in other systems.  I've also seen someone installing a GTX 1080 (single 8-pin connection) into a T5500 using a dual 6-pin to single 8-pin adapter. I have a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter, but I can't get my system to recognize the new GPU.  Is there some other adapter configuration I need?  Please help!

    You running the latest motherboard bios? Does the card light up, or does the fan spin on the card when you turn the computer on? 875w is plenty for that card.

    The fan spins, but I think that is just powered from the motherboard because it spins even if I the card is not connected to the PSU.  I updated my bios after I got the computer initially, but it's been a while so I'll try that again.  Thanks!

    I've updated the BIOS and it still doesn't recognize it.

    Have you tested the card in another known good working system to confirm it works without issues?

    I haven't personally tested it, but the seller claimed that they had tested it.  So unless they're lying to me (always a possibility), the card should be fine.

    Try it in another system and see if it works.

    Yeah right! It has double the power available to the slot compared to any other motherboard? Check your numbers.
