Graphics card for Optiplex 3040 SFF

Question

Are there any 8GB graphics cards compatible with a Optiplex 3040? I am running a software that recommends a minimum of 8GB VRAM. Based on the looking around I've done its not looking to good but hoping someone knows more than I do

In my opinion, you would be better buying a Mid - Tower optiplex then you can upgrade the CPU, ram, psu and gpu! Many thanks, James.

The small power supply on the SFF model would not support those cards. Size would be a problem too.

Optiplex is a business model computer not a gaming model. Check out all the questions on the Optiplex forum for all the many questions and answers about gpu choices.

I figured that would be the case, thank you Mary. What would work for this model? 2GB, 4GB? I am using Vectorworks a design software. Unfortunately, a new computer is not a possibility at the moment
