Dell Optiplex 760 DT Graphics card upgrade

[JStroud]

Hi all

Could anyone recommend me a graphics card to upgrade my Dell Optiplex 760 DT. I want to run dual monitors on it

Thanks

What is the purpose of upgrade? Office work, including HD movies, or gaming?

Unfortunately only low profile cards can fit easy and HD7750 is the strongest one here. Sapphire HD 7750 is the best in this class (can support up to 3 monitors), but it running low on stock in USA and getting difficult to find, so where you are located?

Anything else I can help you with?

Hi, thanks for the reply!

Nothing high powered at all like HD movies or gaming. It will mostly be used to run basic Office programs. I was told by the purchaser that I would need to upgrade the graphics card to accommodate dual monitors to do this.

Would you still recommend the Sapphire HD 7750? Which model specifically?

Thanks for the recommendation - however I meant to say in my first message, ideally I am looking for something <$100 if that's possible?

Would this one work for what I need? This is just a home computer for office programs

Hi,
I just wanted to update this thread with my testing of different graphics cards in my Dell Optiplex 760 DT.

I successfully tested via PCIe ribbon cable the following video cards....

EVGA 750 Ti (Full size, no power pins)
EVGA 1050 Ti (Full size, no power pins)
Zotac 1650 (Low profile, no power pins, needs 2 slots and on the DT version the x16 slot only has 1 slot cover)
All three cards worked.
Note: My PCIe x16 slot does not say 25w max like shown on some pics on the dell website.

I have also tested an ATI (AMD) R7 350x 4Gb GDDR5 single slot low profile card I purchased for $40 on ebay.
It too also works fine and is a perfect fit in this version (DT) of the Dell Optiplex 760.
