Graphic Card Upgrade on Dell PowerEdge R905

Hi,

I have a question of upgrade the Graphic Card/Video card setting on one of our boxes Dell PowerEdge R905. OS: Windows Server 2003 32-bits SP2.

We have one software installed in the box which requires OpenGL2.0 and above. Our current integrated Display Adapter is ATI ES1000 which only supports OpenGL 1.1.0.

We added another graphic card NVIDIA NVS 300, installed the driver, but in the OpenGL Viewer it's not even recognized. (Attached picture)

My ultimate goal is to somehow make the box support OpenGL 2.0, but right now I'm out of ideas.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!

Is this the driver you installed?

It is supposed to support OpenGL to 4.2

Yes, That's the one I installed. I've rebooted the server after the installation

It's not working. The driver was installed but cannot be recognized by OpenGL.

Did you remove the original video card and driver?

Did you move the server's monitor to the new card and disable the original display adapter?

After I installed the GPU Caps Viewer, it began to be recognized and the software is now working!

Thanks everyone!
