Advice needed on Video Card

I'm trying to set up dual monitors with the two DVI monitors I already have.  I have the splitter cable too - just no port for the  split. (only a VGA port)

My tower is skinny, and the graphics cards available to me are too wide to fit - so which one do I need to get??

Thanks, Schantz

Hi Schantz,

Please click here for the Video Cards that are compatible to OptiPlex 790.

Generally, if the Power Supply requirement of video card is more than the Power Supply of the computer, then the Power Supply upgrade is required. 

Note: Please be informed the current Power Supply installed on the system is 250W. Check the video card Power Supply requirements before upgrading.

For any clarifications feel free to contact me.

I'd suggest a Sapphire 6570 low profile; use an HDMI-to-DVI cable for the second monitor.
