Precision T7810 with Turing or Pascal architecture based GPUs

Question

Hello,I own T7810 currently with Quadro M2000 GPU. I want to upgrade for more powerfull and ideally most recent GPU. I'm thinking about GPU based on Turing architecture. I'm hesitating between GeForce RTX 2080 Ti or Quadro (RTX 4000 or RTX 5000 - these cards are still price available for me, RTX 6000 is too expensive for my budget). I prefer Quadro card because I'm using the workstation not only for rendering but also for various scientific computations. Another card in my mind is Pascal based Quadro P5000.So, my question is simple - can I use Turing or maybe Pascal based GPU (I prefer Turing) in my T7810, or should I forget on it because of incompatibility or potential problems (in this case solution can be only Maxwell - for example Quadro M6000), please? I understand that no of these GPUs is not listed in the datasheet as supported. There are only Kepler and Maxwell Quadro cards. But other hand I seen that there are selling refurbished T7810 with various Quadro RTX or Pascal GPUs installed. I also found on Youtobe video how to install EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti card into T7810 workstation and tests how it is running. So, it looks that RTX or Pascal is usable in T7810. But I'm rather asking.I have also one additional question. I learned that in my country are for sale HP or PNY cards, for example HP Quadro RTX 4000. PNY are generally more expensive then HP. Some cards are only available from HP (for example RTX 4000). I don’t found any Dell GPUs.So my second question is - can i use in T7810 only Dell or PNY cards, or can I also to purchase HP?Thank You

In mean time I consulted it with one guy with deeper knowlage of HW. From his point there is no any problem with Pasval or Turing cards in T7810. This is all about OS and Win 10 supports it. Regarding Dell, PNY or HP branded cards - he is not expecting some big problems with use of HP card in Dell. But for stability reasons he recomands unbranded or Dell branded GPUs to use in Dell computers.

So, at the end of year I purchased from eBay new RTX 5000. I received it afte New Year, instelled it, and it is working correcly.

For my purpose will be better Volta based GV100, but this GPU is too expensive. I think tha tthis is currently most expensive card on market.

What do you mean by data center cards?

Any answer for this Dell? or do you want us to only use the data center cards that are 4x the price?

Have you got any result for this ?  I tried Dell RTX 4000 (pulled from dell 5820) in Dell 5810 tower, but it screams loudly as soon as the driver is updated.  Not sure if that is normal.

Sounds like fan lubrication is dried up.  If it is, fans probably aren't reaching full rpm before screaming noise occurs.
