Hello flob3d,
The EVGA GT1030 seems of the ideal dimensions. The rest have either a full-height bracket or heatsinks possibly taller than the chassis can accommodate.

Hello flob3d,
The OptiPlex 3040 SFF can support only 1 PCIe x16 half-height card. I was unable to see the eBay card you listed, but the Amazon one is a half-height card and will fit into the chassis. Just ensure you update all necessary drivers from Gigabyte/NVidia after installation.

The amazon card is too thick so it wont fit into the slot because heatsink is too Tall.
Dell 8CCF1 GT1030 is the official card that fits and works.

You need specific part to work.
