OptiPlex 5050 SFF desktop, video card upgrade
Graphics Card?
I want to improve the performance of my existing integrated graphics card.
"Intel HD Graphics 630"
Can I purchase an aftermarket one and just plug in?
What is the config process like easy, med, difficult

Hi AOE1000,
Yes, you can add a PCIe graphics card. The 5050 only ships with two optional graphics cards, the AMD Radeon R5-430 and the AMD Radeon R7-450. Other graphics cards may work but haven't been validated by Dell and any drivers would need to be sourced from the manufacturer of the graphics card. The drivers for the above cards can be found here:
www.dell.com/.../drivers
Fitting the card is fairly straightforward, as shown (pages 9-11) here:
