    Question Good GPU for Optiplex 990

    Yeah, you're right about the 750 not being worth it. I'm going to try and save for the 1050, but I'm really trying to stay on a tight budget, as this PC is for a friend. I might pick up a gtx 960 though, as I just saw a tutorial on putting one in a 990 ( View...

    Question Good GPU for Optiplex 990

    Could have sworn that they said the 750 and 750 ti would've still been supported, but I guess not. Thanks for the help though. I'll definitely try out the 10xx series and 16xx series.

    Question Good GPU for Optiplex 990

    So, doing some hunting on ebay, I found that the, with the gt 1030 w/ GDDR5 and the 10xx series, the cheapest of the cards run for about $100. However, I found that the gtx 750 (non ti) is slightly better than the 1030, is only $50, and is older than the 10xx series. Would that be a good pick...

    Question Good GPU for Optiplex 990

    I've hear conflicting information with this. So, since you say that the 10xx Cards were the last non-UEFI GPU's, I'd assume that the Nvidia GPUs before the 10xx series are mainly non-UEFI. However, according to this - https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/a-non-uefi-bios-graphic-card.2942724/...

    Question Good GPU for Optiplex 990

    The R7 260x worked in other PC's (when it wasn't working in this PC, I put it in another, and I got output). The model of the PSU is the Aresgame AGW600 (I also tried it with a Rosewill LC-8500BTX with the same problems).

    Question Good GPU for Optiplex 990

    Yep, I plugged in the one labeled "PCI-E." The fans are running, it's just not showing up.

    Question Good GPU for Optiplex 990

    Hi! Recently, I bought an Optiplex 990 non-sff (i5-2400). I've been having some issues with GPU's, as my r7 260X isn't working in it (the PCIE slot is good, I have a good PSU - 600w - and the GPU is good), but my HD 6570 works. So, does anybody have any suggestions for or know any GPUs that...

    Question GPU not showing up under devices on non-sff Optiplex 990

    OK, I tried switching over to UEFI, and it didn't work. However, found my Intel ME settings - would disabling the SOL, IDER, or KVM help at all (sorry if this is a stupid question, I don't know much about ME settings)?

    Question GPU not showing up under devices on non-sff Optiplex 990

    Wait, so if I'm understanding correctly, if I were to set the BIOS to UEFI (it's currently in legacy), the 260X could work?

    Question GPU not showing up under devices on non-sff Optiplex 990

    (I don't know if this has been covered exactly yet, as others' situations don't seem to match mine. Also, didn't know if I should post this under GPU or motherboards, so I just put this under GPU) So, recently, I purchased an Optiplex 990 (not sff). It came with a 500w PSU, so I thought it would...
