"These older models (PC's)DO NOT SUPPORT UEFI NVIDIA RTX series cards nor do they support RADEON R3 R5 R7 R9 series cards."
his PC is 2010 sandy bridge PC no UEFI exists on this R3, so why say that? (sure the 2014 bad cards made, this is 2019 and is not true, NOW)
the R9 380 I have runs on all dells here, all with new PC bios, from 2007 to 2015, all are with UEFI turned off when present, so , it does work and very well. as does my new gtx1050's and more. Only weak PSU failed. here.
I have tested vast GPUs on my Dells and every one works perfect with 700watt PSU, sure.
not one glitch ever and would love to know why you think any 2019 new card would fail.?
all cards I have pass the PASSMARK 3d and FURMARK and run METO all day long , as test. so I used FULL POWER to test them.
the makers I contacted, all told me no problems now, unless odd GPU or the odd PC that has bad PC BIOS. (nvidia, mSI , and Gigabyte told me)
the OP never once told the full partnumber of his gtX1660
hello,, I have 3 dells here, all 3 run , a new GTX card no problems even my old 790 runs GTX1050ti and R9 380 and 10 more cards all run on my Dells, no problems ever, but I don't use UEFI.
but sadly no TURING chip GPU here, that do fail.
and 2010 PC have not UEFI, GOOD !
is that 1660 brand new sealed box or old?,
some video cards made in 2014 for w8 , PAIN, have bad VBIOS in them. this is a fact,
OK> aside from that it must work , in fact easy.
but NO PSU stated by you, at all, the card alone needs 120watts or it will fail.
and fit, one can only presume it fits. (tried)
and that you plugged in the mandatory AUX cables on top (no full 1660 part number or brand) so cant tell you how many and Kind /6 or 8 pin plugs it has PSU to card DIRECT. (PCI-12v,aux cables) it must have at least one that we know for a fact, but no exact card stated just the oblique,1660
step one is removing the drivers first from you OS did you to that.
the when you boot the PC, (even a new coin cell is wise on old PC) you go to BIOS and do BIOS reset
"back to default":
is your PC set up with secure boot or safe boot ? or in CSM or full UEFI mode, I can't know that.
Processors included Core i5 and i7 processors only(second Generation quad core Sandy Bridge).
i7 2600K max, date: 2010 (9 years old today) so says the service manual.
525 watt Power Supply Unit and an 875 watt Power Supply Unit. options new,?
only really unique features is liquid cooling otherwise fast PCs made with SANDY. CPU.
and the ALIEN PSU, with wild looking power plug. but is only for modular cables.
Im looking at the cables now to see if it fits, a dual, AUX power GTX card. (I see them there)
so you turn it on, and BIOS works fans works, the screen works but the BOOT was lost.
well does your HDD or SSD show up in the hot key F12 menu" it must.
and if does not the Sata cables fell of the boot drive.
if yes does, then boot to it by selecting it to boot, I can boot any thing on my dells. (in F12, usb ,cd and more)
here is my random high power burn rate card, using 2 AUX, do you have 1 or to 2 jacks , all must be connected and powered fully or the card WILL FAIL. some use 6 pins others use 8.
Turing vbios. is no good, on old PCs,. on the nvidia forum, they say that.
ouch;
no asus motherboard below the P6 and Rampage III can boot Turing.
Turing refers to the GPU being used in the 1660 | 1660ti | 2K series.
The 1K series uses Pascal.
zotac says
Zotac uses a bulky power phase configuration considering the TDP of the GPU, and there is no secondary VBIOS on this card. Nvidia doesn’t bin TU116 GPUs, so the model number on all GTX 1660s will be the same.
the terse way of saying card is useless in only a 9 year old PC.
the sad part is no card stated, just GTX1660(base) , of 50+ boards sold, one more to the list of phantom cards posted at dell, whY? phantom failures strike again. (and it big hurry)
why not post what you owned, makers name (eg.:MSI or 10 + others) (or a simple link to yours posted) nada.
and full board number, that why I'd ask your maker for direct help,
Gigabyte, he said there's works. in legacy PCs. just asked now. (at their forum)
Gigabyte said there board works. one thing is they said the 8 pin power port must have all 8 pins wired,
not using some lame wired wrong adapter.(missing pins is bad)

Over 10 makers of card, huge, MSI is great one.
UEFI is a problem sure, but his PC is NOT UEFI,
perplexing answers here,
