Dell precision 5820 video card compatibility (OEM rtx a5000 from HP)
Hello to the community, as a newbie here and my first question (because i didn’t find the answer anywhere yet) about compatibility of 5820 (x-series tower, i have 10920x cpu) with HP branded GPU rtx a5000 (namely their full description
SPS - PCA M41414 - 001
Quadro RTX A5000 24 GB
is it compatible ? power plug pins and especially bios vendor id or anything else that may block to use it ? any experience ? currently i have PNY rtx a5000, works just great (i bought my machine without gpu initially) so PNY looks absolutely identical to this HP. I just would like second gpu for more processing power. and at present moment some local guys sell HP brand as rtx a5000 OEM new sealed at a very good price but they don’t have any idea about dell machines ;) is it compatible or any issues etc. i heard it may be bios protection like vendor id incompatible … perhaps my question might be very nonstandard ;) thanks for reading

The HP OEM card should work and is compatible with your 5820. Technical specs, chassis fitment and power connectors are exact match with a Dell card.
Attempts have been made with using CPU and graphics cards from HP in Dell system. They are working well without any issue.

It wouldn't be the 1st time an HP GPU worked in a Dell. You might try it without the other GPU installed in case anything arises.
Both GPU's are 230w each. So your 5820 needs to have the 950w PSU to run both.

Thanks to all! I will go ahead and buy this HP a5000 and try it as addition card. I will leave the feedback later including how it increased my performance in pair with PNY card. For the future if anyone may spot the same question

finally my confirmation. After installing HP OEM A5000 card instead of PNY into the SAME slot where PNY was, the system even not detected any difference in configuration after powering on self-test - booted at once without restarts as it usually occurs if you change hardware slots, add or remove boards etc. Windows 11 not detected any changes too - same drivers, same desktop parameters.
after doing a couple of performance and stress tests to ensure that new card working normally itself, I added my initial PNY to second 75W slot, plugged power, booted system, everything worked great. Especially in DaVinci Resolve for which I actually made all this dual card setup. Task paralleling is outstanding.
One thing I would like to mention between PNY and HP - it seems HP uses lower low-level resolution than PNY does. I think PNY use up to UHD when booted without drivers (with standard Microsoft one), same as in BIOS setup or when windows logo on boot rotating. HP uses lower resolution in such circumstances - it clearly seen. In windows desktop without drivers installed, the display resolution something alike 1024x768 and have no options to increase it more, only after you install Nvidia drivers and all become normal as it should. I think this resolution is configurable somewhere in BIOS of video adapter. So in this regard it is the only one difference I have found.

Glad that works out well for you. I had the same experience when introduced a couple of HP OEM cards into Dell workstations, they worked with existing drivers and settings, even with secure boot enabled.
