Dell R730 + GTX 1070
I just bought a Dell R730 and I have an old Asus ROG 1070 graphics card. Would I be able to install that graphics card into my machine and use the power supply that comes with the server to power it?

Hello thanks for choosing Dell.
GTX you mentioned is for laptops and desktops. We do not know if that is actually going to work on a server model as we haven't tested it out. Sorry I can't be of help this time.
Respectfully,

Hello BrandonAmos,
These are just a few I see in the service parts database.
If you contact Sales they may have others to quote to you.
The part numbers below are service part numbers. They do not come up on the web site.
You would need to contact Sales and ask for the Spare Part Department to get a quote for one of these.

It should work if it will physically fit.
Officially supported cards are only the ones in the table Dell Charles R posted
However, it will work with a lot of consumer gpu cards too unofficially (i.e. proceed at your own risk, not for mission critical stuff, etc, etc)
I have successfully ran as high as 195w TDP (GTX680) off of the internal 8pin power
All gpus that I have tried so far have worked that were at or under that TDP
I have successfully ran GTX680, RTX2060, Quadro P600, Quadro NVS295
The official Dell power cable 8pin to 6pin + 8pin part number is 730-8-6P8A
The official Dell power cable 8pin to 8pin part number is R730-K80-8
You can find these cables on ebay pretty inexpensively
NOTE: If you try to run an 8pin only card off of the 8pin + 6pin cable, it will not work and you will get this error
This is because, unlike a typical psu cable, the official 8+6pin cable does not use all 8pin 24v+ wires to the 8pin connector. Rather, it splits half to each connector and so the 8pin on its own cannot draw enough watts
Also, as a side note, and probably super NOT RECCOMENDED by Dell, the internal 8pin power connector is the exact same pinout as many pc power supplies, they just changed one of the pins from square to trapezoid. you can fix this with an x-acto blade ;) Just make super super sure it is the same pinout and proceed at your own risk, but it worked for me
If you want to use your gpu as video output, you need to disable the integrated video output in the BIOS. I think it is under miscellaneous settings, or processor settings.
Dont worry though, if it doesnt detect a gpu it will revert to integrated
