Graphic Card for Dell OptiPlex 9020

Question

Hello everyone,

I have a Dell OptiPlex 9020 with motherboard 0PC5F7 (if I found it correctly from System Information). I have also 16 gb Ram. In DirectX Diagnostit Tool I can see Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 2GB and AMD Radeon(TM) HD8490 4gb. Can anyone tell me which graphic cards are supported because I would like to upgrade it.

Thank you

that is a MT, sized PC the largest one, like mine.

there are 2 answers..besides the tiny, shorts list from DELL. (< less than 5 cards)

The 10,000 folks at userbenchmarks.com that uses vast cards, (amazing no?, actual users using cards) same.

any card works in this PC, if?
it fits and does not not hit (things) x16 slot (is upper blue slot.
and the PSU is not overloaded. ( and your PC now can't do GPU aux power jacks )

1,000s of cards work, in fact,

here are 10 tested, on the sizer MT 3020. (and how to solve PSU too small too.) hard cold proof.

your PC uses the better High Profile cards. PCI-express X16. endless choices possible , truly.

this questions was asked here 100+ of times, searching finds them easy.

"9020 MT GPU" like this.... no stated purpose for new card, cards very vastly in performance.

learn first that the cards are not all the same size, for one model and there are 10 makers.

or just pop in a GTX1050 and be happy? IDK, your needs at all. none stated. 6 inch long card fits.! and 10"

all are different sized, some are very long, (and hit the hdd cage even with 3 fan cards)

others are short. those do fit. blue slot is x16. Even some RTX2070 fit.(with GPU upgraded)

better questions are , how can I run xyz app and get better 3D graphic performance. (or even higher resolution)

Tell the helper job you can't do now or one that you want to do.

Like playing $60 AAA+ game, and need at least 90FPS, even name the game.

If playing MS Card game Solitaire you need no card art all, see? The iGFU works for free.

or more simply "where are you now (what is there now), and where do you want to be.? even name where.

the word upgrade means little.

faster card? FPS to do what?

more resolution ( or only this)

or more shaders,

GPU topic is complex,

running 3 monitors.?

name your idea of what an UPGRADE means?. IDK at all. or tell what you can't do now, be clear.

For best answers, tell the story, OK?> you did not yet.

Must use Dell or PNY or Gigabyte or MSI LOW PROFILE Single slot card. GT1030 is the only thing I would recommend. Anything more requires optional 365W power supply. Its an 8 pin power supply.

When installing an after-market graphics card into a Windows PC with UEFI secure boot enabled, the system may not boot. This is true for ANY PC not just Dell.
