7050 MT, graphic card compatibility?

Before someone can answer with any certainty, you will have to let us know if your OpriPlex 7050 is a full Tower, the smaller SFF model, or the baby Micro.

Not sure that any of these systems still have CSM which means unless its a DELL card it wont post or boot because secure boot cannot be turned off.

@DELL-Chris M would have to weigh in on that.

NO more CSM

Hi @AbHaseeb,

You stated "7050 desktop," which would be the SFF (small form factor).  Did you mean "desktop" as the size?  I almost missed it also.  Could you please confirm?  If it's SFF, it's not a full tower - commonly called mini tower (MT), and it's not the skinny and slim micro.

its full tower desktop which weighted around 7.5 kg

This isn't a full size mini tower?

7040  and 7050 is not a full size tower it has itty bitty 220W power supply just like the Inspiron 3650.

Also, if you're 7050 is new or in warranty, for the best and timely service, please contact Dell Support direct.  Remember to scroll down after seeing the hurricane info page.

Its a MINI Tower with itty bitty 220W power supply that is NON STANDARD.  The Actual case of a standard power supply is LARGER than the 7050 or 3650 case.

Look at the picture of the power supply its a tiny square no larger than your fist.  Full size power supply and video cards DO NOT Physically fit into the case.

This was a duplicate post.  I couldn't delete duplicate images.

Images are from Google.

Since we know the size of the tower, has any further attempts been made at answering the original question?  All I could pull up was a quick start guide that doesn't mention specific GPU's.  May be it has to be cross referenced the other way around?

I get that it has a tiny power supply, but you know it comes in 3 different sizes and it's part of the current series of OptiPlex's.  To have 2 sff sizes would only cause confusion.

Not helping differentiate, the Dell site shows the same size mini tower for both "sff" and "mt" when part of the search term.  We still need to differentiate to answer questions accurately.

Can we agree on the sizes here for the 7050 vs. having 2 different sizes called "sff?"  Thanks, bradthetechnut

Hi @AbHaseeb,

Here's the answer you were looking for:  The Quadro K620 41W and the Nvidia Quadro P600 40W

I chatted with a Dell live agent and pasted his answer.  Anytime you want, you're welcome to chat, email, or call at Dell.com.  The button to initiate is in the lower left corner.

You're also welcome to use Dell Community anytime.  It did help to know about the 220W power supply; as service tags referencing a specific computer can't be posted in Dell Community.  I'm just glad an answer was found.

As most systems are "customizable" when ordering two of the same model can have different hardware and even different motherboards in some instances.  The Dell manuals may not reflect some options.

I need to run oculus rift s and I don't know which vraohic card to buy .j would prefer an external one so its easier for me to hook up. can anyone please anyone tell me what is compatible?

The Optiplex 7050 is a business class machine, not an all out gaming machine.

There are a couple of other options available for the 7050, but might not be up to the task:  AMD Radeon™ R5 430 1GB/2GB, AMD Radeon™ R7 450 4GB.

If you hooked up a GPU externally with an extender, that doesn't change the options.  What does change it up is a more powerful PSU.  It's not said what size your 7050 is, but either way, and upgraded PSU would likely have to sit outside the case.  The 7050 MT model isn't a full size tower.  With an upgraded PSU, you'd need a 24-pin to 6-pin adapter for the MB.
