Faster Graphics card in Optiplex 790 MT tower
Hi,
I have a DELL OPTIPLEX 790 MT tower with an i7 core and currently a NVIDIA NVS300 dual monitor card. I tend to max out the CPUs quite often. the PSU is 265W
The graphics card is currently my bottleneck and I want to replace this with the fastest meaningful upgrade. It should support dual monitors, I currently use a DMS59 dual monitor spliter.
Would a GTX 1050 PCIe 3.0 16x work in the system and would it make sense? Anything I should consider? The tower should support fullsized graphic cards, what about the energy supply?
Would this one be an option:
ASUS PH-GTX1050TI-4G - Grafikkort - GF GTX 1050 Ti - 4 GB GDDR5 - PCIe 3.0 x16 - DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort
Thanks.

Nvidia states that the GTX 1050 Ti minimum PSU requirement is 300w. So you would also need to upgrade the 265w PSU. Check the Corsair PSU site.

Ok thanks. What would be the next best option without rewiring the entire system?

Hi @ChaosTheory_SA ,
GTX 1050 Ti from different manufacturers may have different performance due to varies GPU Clock values. Take this post as reference.

I would consider getting an EVGA 600W PSU (80 Plus White) and pair it with an EVGA GTX 1060 (Single Fan). I did this on one of my Optiplex 790s, and everything fits just fine and works without any issues. Before you do any of this I would advise you update your BIOS to the latest version.
