What GPU driver?
I have an OEM R720. <private information removed by Mod>. When I go to the drivers page it shows an Nvidia Tesla driver. But it won’t work on my system. When I go to specs I can’t find anything listed. What video driver do I need for a windows server OS?
thank you,
Randy

I could recommend use a supported OS such as 2012/2012R2 and try this driver.
Matrox Video Driver
12G PowerEdge family of products running the Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2

And your OEMR XL R720 is really limited to WS2008 R2 per the support page

I can't support you on non-valid OS.

Hello,
This service tag shows to be a OEMR XL R720
OEM vendors rebrand our system and resell as a solution with their software and lock on a HW and Operating System configuration for their end users. That is why you may not see some updates listed.
I did not see a GPU on the original order. Do you have a GPU installed?

No, it is just the onboard chipset, but I can't seem to identify it, so it is using the MS base driver.

Hello,
Sounds like it is using the native driver.
What is the OS you have installed?

Hello,
Does your video work?
Along with this being an OEM system, the R720 is validated for these versions:
Supported OS
https://dell.to/4gniQM7
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2008 x64
Windows Server 2008 x86
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Server 2016
If you have video then you should be set.

Yes it works. But it is limited to three 4:3 resolutions.
