Optiplex 7010 USFF
Trying to find out if I can get a graphics card for this. I think I have found conflicting information within the literature. In the owners manual it shows in table 3 (Video):
Discrete - PCI Express x16 graphics adapter.
In table 8 (Cards) it shows:
Mini PCI Express: Ultra Small Form Factor - up to one half-height card
I am confused because elsewhere I have found that absolutely no you cannot install any graphics card but it seems to have an internal connector that could be accessed for one. Can anyone verify for certain what can be done here?
Thanks.

Re: Trying to find out if I can get a graphics card for this
Unfortunately, you can not get a graphics card for OptiPlex USFF. While this model does have a miniPCIe connector, it does not have enhanced graphic/video option. A review of system rear output ports can confirmed that there is no available space for a video card bracket.
See system view and detailed technical information in the Dell OptiPlex 7010 Technical Guidebook https://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/business/smb/merchandizing/en/Documents/OptiPlex_7010_Technical_Guidebook_1.pdf

The official answer is no you cannot as stated by chino.
The unofficial answer is you could still run an external gpu off mini PCie slot but you need an adapter from mini pcie to PCIex16. Depending on the kind of video card you plan to use you may or may not need to provide additional psu support.
The video card will stand outside USFF case
