I was wondering how you got an R9 270 into a Vostro 460.
.....and I see you got the one Gigabyte card that would fit

.....that has to be frustrating. 

I don't have a PCIe 3 card that will fit.  The closest I have is an HD7470
(PCI 2.1) and it works.

Did you update the BIOS?

I know you got a new board on the way, I just like solving problems.

Replacement motherboard ordered for the i7.  Cheap B75 based thing.

Should be here by end of week.  Will then get the HD6570 or whatever it is
into the nforce 630i board and start installing OS's on it heh.
