Optiplex 990 SFF graphics upgrade
Hi, I'm looking at getting a monitor with a max resolution of 3440 x 1440. I'm guessing the integrated graphics in my old 990 wouldn't be able cope with that... any recommendations for a graphics card that supports that and would fit in the SFF 990 box? It's just for work, so doesn't need to be anything fancy.
Thanks in advance!
3440 x 1440 21:9 Resolution is not 4K its CinemaScope of 2.35:1 this is not a standard resolution for TV or Monitor.
The term "21:9" was chosen as a marketing term used by Philips.
Marketing vs Reality are 2 different things.
3840 × 2160 16:9 is 4K and on such a low end un it that would be 30Hz not 60Hz

The specs on a GTX 1030 look to be a fit for your monitor.
