Hello. Longshot question; would the MSI RX 550 (Low Profile) work in my Optiplex 780 DT? I was thinking of getting one as an upgrade to my current Dell Radeon HD 7570. From what I believe, the Dell 7570 is a 60W card. The 7570 will overclock as high as it can go in MSI Afterburner and runs great with the overclock. Would an RX 550 be too much for my system? Thanks.
Thank you for your fast reply. Do you have a list of AMD cards that would work in the 780 DT that would also be good for newer games? I am attempting to turn my 780 DT into a small but respectable gaming box.
You can put a 1060 1070 or 1080 HOWEVER the power supply will need a special MODDIY adapter and the case will need hacking because there are very few SINGLE SLOT versions of the card in the same style as the Zotac MINI.
DDR4 or DDR5 version. There is a reason that some of the models are "CHEAPER" and its not a good one. The DDR4 vs GDDR5 version. Gigabyte makes both. The DDR4 card is 400 percent slower and only uses 20W vs 40W for the GDDR5 due to much slower Ram and Clock.
The Low profile GDDR5 cards are fine from MSI or GIGABYTE or ZOTAC or PNY or or or or
but BEWARE OF DDR4 versions which are JUNK HORRIBLE CARDS.

R series cards REQUIRE UEFI bios and the 780 does not have this so the card will not work.
GT 1030 is 40w and will work in DT
1050TI work fine in the mini tower.
Nothing works in USFF.
There are no slots in USFF.
Like the Zotac Mini 1050 TI. Must be a short card.
Radeon HD 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000 series work fine because they support DOS VESA Video mode 103 which the motherboard bios requires.
