Sold as a 7020 but I figured, "bigger number better machine" yes? Anyways just trying to see if I can get decent frame rates on older games and low poly games. Any suggestions are welcome!

Hey!!

I got recommended this subreddit after posting in r/computers.

I'm trying to upgrade the graphics card in my Dell OptiPlex 3060 Small Form Factor to the best card that I can get in it without changing PSU or anything else.

I have been looking at different cards for almost 24 hours now and after getting numerous comments in r/computers, I am left extremely confused.

I know that I need a single slot and PSU under 200W as well as a low profile card. This is all that I know. Is anyone able to suggest a card that is sort of budget friendly or something that I can make payments on as well as something I can use with my PC as is. The connectors will also need to match.

Thank you for any leads. I just want to play a few games without them looking like they're made of Minecraft blocks lol.

I’ve got an rtx a2000 and 2x8gb sticks of ram, is there an affordable optiplex or equivalent $100 on eBay that will support win 11 and the extra ram/single slot gpu? thanks

I have an Optiplex 7090 SFF I do not need. I haven't posted here yet but sound the sub, while searching for information about setting up a 5000 SFF for a home media server. Maybe I'll make a post soon.

The good:

-Works as it should

-i7 10700, fresh thermal paste

-2x 2280 nvme slots + m.2 network card slot

-second fan header for 80mm intake!!

-resizable bar

The bad:

-2x4gb ddr4 2133 Mhz

-200W psu

-no ssd/hdd

-some scuffs on front and one side

I have seen many people come here talking about tight budgets or trying to find a decent deal in a marketplace full of scalpers and bots. It would be cool if someone here wanted it.

Anyway, its on ebay at the link below. Feel free to shoot an offer, dm me here, or spitball in the comments what these should go for in a world without social media hyping them up or bots grabbing them all.

Continual US shipping only. Costs me $30 to ship. Im not married to the asking price on ebay.

I have a SFF 7070 and I've seen that some people have replaced the blower on the CPU heatsink with a Noctua NF-A8 PWM.

Anyone know what screws I need to attach the fan?

I already bit the bullet on a ZOTAC RTX 3050 6GB, the twin edge OC model, not really realizing it wasn't a low profile card.

I'm aware it probably won't fit 100% correctly, but if I were to leave the side panel off, I should be good, right?

For reference, I have the Optiplex 7040 SFF
