Optiplex 990 MT Case Size for GPU

Question

Hello I have a 990 Mini Tower and im wondering what size the case is so I can purchase a GPU that will fit. An ATX/standard size GPU is too long to fit but I’m uncertain wether or not the MT case is a mini ATX/mATX or an ITX. I want to be sure I select the correct sized GPU the second time around. Thank you for any insight!

GPU's that are single slot and less than 8.5 inches fit.

Thats why MSI GT1030 works.

The Blue Slot supports 75W card the BLACK Slot is 25W max.

HARD DRIVE gets in the way of 12 inch Video Cards
