I just received this the other day and have been unable to get it up and running. I ordered it for my Dell Otiplex 7020 tower(1000 Watt power supply) but it refuses to boot. I tried it in my Asus Prime Z790 and I got a boot error. Any chance I could get some help?

GOP problem maybe? its a pretty old card. Try CSM (legacy mode not uefi) and see if you get the same result.

There is nothing right about this card.

AMD didnt make the 550ti and even if you simply misspoke the 550ti is so old it released before 4gb of vram was a thing.

if you just got it and it doesn’t work in 2 PCs return it

Me bad. You guys are right. Sorry about that. Here is the complete title from Amazon. "

GTX550Ti 4GB Graphics Card, GDDR5, 128bit, PCI Express2.0, 783Mhz/3400Mhz, 2560x1600, Gaming Video Card with HDMI, VGA and DVI Ports (GTX550Ti 4G)" I've been offered a 10% refund by the seller. They never said why I might be having a problem. Looks like I will see if Amazon lets me return it. Thanks everyone for the help. Any suggestions on a modestly priced video card for 3d modeling? (3ds Max or SolidWorks or......something I can afford like Blender)​

best bet is to return yeah that still doesn’t even make sense. 4gb and gddr5 didn’t exist yet.

As for software I would start with the minimum system requirements and work up

I know things like 3ds can be picky.

Why even bother with such an old card if you have z790? Get a card from a legit source for your use case.
