Upgrading the DGFF GPUs in the Precision 7530 & 7730

Too bad. Thanks.

 

Take that one: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Dell-Nvidia-Quadro-RTX-3000-N19E-Q1-6GB-GPU-P-N-N19E-Q1-KA-A1/284170106610

 

Thanks. Is that a good price?

 

Actually yes...
Pretty normal to see them on eBay for $700+ (USD).
Depending on your current setup you might need additional parts to make it work (heatsink, DGFF power cable, DGFF data interface adapter things).

 

That was going to be my next question. My 7730 has a Radeon Pro WX 4150 installed. I'll have to do some Googling.

 

I have just swapped my wx7100 to this, you need a heatsink for a precision 7740, i brought from the ebay seller - central-parts-store , in America

 

Thanks for that. Was it a straight forward process? Did you see much performance gain after the upgrade?

 

Yes its straight forward, just a case of simply following the service manual

Only problem I have is I cant install the dell drivers, when i use Nvidia drivers i get blue screen relating to - nvlddmkm.sys

Any help is appreciated...

RTX3000 installed but I cant install drivers, I have modified the inf file (using Device ID 0832 / 1832 for a 7730), turned off driver signing. But both the (unzipped) Dell installer package and manual driver installs fail

 

Don't do this; instead, self-sign your driver files.

I have a PowerShell script to automate the unzipping, modification, and signing, but a lot of the paths and strings have been hardcoded, as it was meant for my personal use. Perhaps you can modify it to suit your uses; pull requests for generalisation are also welcome.
