[SOLVED] GPU that would fit in a dell optiplex micro?

[karahan]

I've been wondering if there is a gpu that would fit these usff pc's (i don't even know if it even has a slot to put it in).
I don't think that the low profile 1050ti would fit in it.

The psu on a micro wont provide enough watts to push a external GPU.

So also not a gpu like the gt 1030? that gpu runs on 30w. and the power supply is 65 w rated i think

That power supply is not designed to run a gaming GPU. Even like the 1030. Nvidia says a minimum of 300watt PSU for a 1030 (although that is on the high end). But a 65 watt PSU is very small. You have to remember that you have the rest of the system power, plus spikes in power. A 1030 may average 30 watts, but it will spike much more than that.

Additionally, you should look on the back of your optiplex, some of the micro's do not support any upgrades. They are so small they are attached to the back of a monitor. You will need to see if there are any expansion slots on the back. If there are not, then a GPU would not fit, even if you had the power requirements.
