Hello scotchnut_fife! we are not selling it yet, however the system will be able to handle one GTX Titan.

There is power going through the card as the logo lights up. Im also positive it's seated correctly without pressing too hard and breaking something. Ive just bought the card and today is my first time attempting to install

Hi Ive currently installed a gtx titan in my aurora r4 now and get 6 beeps when attempt to boot the system. What am I doing wrong?

Milena M458 · Answer

6 beeps indicate Video card failure, so it could be that the video card is damage or that it's not well plugged in.

I have the same problem, I upgraded it from an AMD 6850 to a GTX TITAN and I get these 6 beeps

I solved the answer on my own...what kind of monitot are u trying to connect to?

Might be SecureBoot error. Use this work-around or insure Titan is running latest (eVGA?) vBIOS. http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/f/4677/t/19475186.aspx
