GPU upgrade for GX 620

[mattmidori]

hello i have an GX620 MINI TOWER (big and spacy model ) and i want to know if a "gtx 750 non TI" will fit, not just on brackets but about height and width. i saw on a vid that some guy put a gt 730 2gb Gibabyte version and its super big but it still fits just nice.

i will cut brackets if necessary ,and does it require a 6 pin connector,if it doesnt fit will the GT 740 do? thxxx

The 750 ti or non ti models are quite small. You should be able to find one that will fit.

The non ti model may require a 6 pin connector for some very hot models.

Most 750 (ti or not) cards do not require any power other than what comes through the motherboard PCI-e slot.

I'm afraid it's not entirely clear what the capacity of your case is since you say "Mini tower" but then "big and spacy model." If this is a full-width case (as opposed to a slimline case) that can handle a full size card there should be no problem. A GTX 750 is quite power efficient, it doesn't need a separate power connection.

Even if you require a low profile card, which has a half-height bracket, you can still bet a 750 like that. For example, consider this card:

This is a 750 Ti, but there is also a non-Ti version for a bit less (it's just currently out of stock). This card is about as small as you'll find, should fit into almost any computer with a PCIe slot, and will play games fairly well. I don't know if this is more than you want, since you mentioned the 730 and 740, but I just wanted to show you that very small but fairly powerful cards can be found to fit in that system.

seriously what i am conserned about isnt the pcie it self its about the two brackets thing
i have this one http://images.marketplaceadvisor.channeladvisor.com/hi/63/62652/dell_optiplex_gx620_tower_open.jpg
and i only have one chance i was going to get the r7 250 1gb gddr5 buttt i am thinking over a better one with same price

i dont hink there is a ``TOWER`` model for the gx620 there is mini tower going down to some small crap

In that picture, I can clearly see your computer has a PCIe 16x slot require to connect a graphics card, and what looks like 4 punch-out PCIe cover slots (on the left). If you have no other PCI devices, the card should fit.

That being said, routing cables might still be interesting. The big IDE cable right next to the CPU might need to be moved interestingly, or removed if you're not using it. I also don't think this will be an issue, but I would make sure the CPU cooler doesn't interfere with the PCIe slot.

Other than that, it seems as though any dual slot card will fit properly in your system. I'd still get a low-profile model with full-length brackets, though, just because it won't interfere with airflow as much and it will fit nicer.

oh god yeah! you mean i can get a dual bracket gpu? screw the cooling!
what about psu anything will fit right?
cuz later on i am going to buy a used hp dx2200 to put a new mobo in it and a cpu
because this system's cpus are a huuuuuuuuuuuuge bottleneck!

That looks like a standard size ATX PSU. So practically any standard PSU you can buy should fit. If you are still dubious, grab a measuring tape and measure it 😛 Most PSU's list dimensions in their product pages. That is almost definitely an ATX PSU, though; you just have to watch for the length (because some PSU's are indeed slightly longer), and you should be fine.
