Please help me, it's about graphics cards.

Please help me.

Would a EVGA GeForce GT710 low profile work in a dell optiplex 790 DT with it's normal psu? Please let me know.

And like a tutorial if it would fit. Thank you for your time!

It may work since it only draws 40W which is extremely low. However the GTX 1030 would work nicely as well. The model with the GDDR5 memory is the only type to buy if you go that route.

The 790DT has a 250W PSU. The GT710 minimum PSU requirement is 300W. It might work but it is pushing the power supply on an almost 8 year old system. There are 400W PSUs available on the Internet for the 790DT and with that upgrade you could go to a GTX 1050 or even a GTX 1060. For a system that is getting up there in age, the point is do you want to spend money for a PSU and GPU upgrade or put that money toward a new unit.

I might be able to get a new psu, but i don't know how to install psu's on a computer. there's atleast 15 wires involved. my budget for the graphics card is 100 nzd.

If you are intimidated, do not even try it. Possibly a local tech shop can help..

From the 790 Tech Guide:  1GB AMD RADEON HD 6450 with DP and DVI; 512MB AMD RADEON HD 6350 with dual DVI or dual VGA (adapters convert to dual DVI or dual VGA)

This is for the MT, DT, SFF, and Not the USFF.

Someone said on a 2012 post with someone with a 250w psu said it this should work with a 250w just fine because it doesn't take up much power. ASUS Radeon HD7750

December 31st, 2018 20:00

so should i get that card that you just said?

I HAVE 790

AND ANTHING WORKS, THERE.

my 700watt PSU assures that,(upgraded it)

but sure that old card slow works,  it uses no power at all to speak.

here is what works on my 790

R9-380 (uses lots of power) 190w

GTX750, gtx 1050, GTS260 power hog extreme 200w,  and all old cards back to year 2001. PCI-E

R5-240 Radeon (November 1, 2013)

and more tried over 20 cards, in mY  790 MT

any card will work if it don't hit

learn that there are vast numbers of makers 20:? and lots of form factors , Low profile is less choices but length and fan count and noise tops the list.

  • must fit and not hit, (use a ruler is best) Some cards hit card cage, or  even hit power jack 24 or SATA cables.  only looking first works ok?  first is the cards spec, then ruler used inside the PC.
  • power PSU demands, I have none but you do.
  • slot limits, mine has none but 75w on the slot, max.  (not 25w limited like some dells are)
  • OS will be happy,  no problems there.

 

the DT is Height challenged.

IF you buy card too long it hits this blue thing HDD caddy

if you buy a card too wide it hits this silly tiny weak PSU,.  the space is limited, next time by real PC the MT.

DT ONLY 790DT ONLY 790

wrong arrow sorry

 

790dt2.jpg

 

 

here is a real; 790 MT GPU card 260 hitting the SATA PORTs

there is no card 3D forum factor standards, at all, sure tall, (but only kinda)

Some full height cards are too tall for DELL MT cases even. (I cured that too)

the faster cards have bigger and sometime deeper fans that hits things.  (so FIT IS FIRST)

7750 is a 75W card that requires 300W minimum power supply. 

Low Profile HD5450 would work because its a 27W card.

GT 1030 works because its a 40W max card.

400W power man power supply DOES NOT HAVE 150W on the 3.3v/5v rails combined so its not working ever.

FULL SIZE power supplies DO NOT PHYSICALLY FIT into Desktop and SFF Cases.
