Question Compatibility of GT 730 graphics card with Dell 3020 MT Desktop PC ?

[Abdul Haq Shaikh]

Greetings,

I have an upgraded Dell OptiPlex 3020 MT Desktop PC with i7 CPU, 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD. I want to add a 4 GB graphics card as shown here:

I am using the original PSU which came with this computer. Kindly let me know if this graphics card will work with my PC.

You might want to source an aftermarket PSU that's reliably built and has 450W of power at the entire system's disposal+an adaper to adapt an off the shelf PSU to work with the proprietary connector on the motherboard;

Dell uses proprietary 8 pin for the motherboard of these systems instead of standard 24 pin. Optiplex 3020/7020/9020/XE2 (and 7040/5040/3040, Inspiron 3650) https://www.dell.com/community/Op...

As for the GPU dropping into the case, yes it'll fit, I'd just get a PSU with the GPU's purchase to wrap up the upgrade.

This gt730 Graphic card uses 300 watts of power whereas my PC Power Supply is 290W. The shopkeeper from where I bough this card told me that it will work without the need to upgrade the Power Supply. I am not an ardent gamer and might use this GPU for some light graphic programs. I would like to know if it will cause problems for my PC by using the existing power supply.
