[SOLVED] Graphics Card

[FireBoy62]

I have an OptiPlex 9020 small form factor and I'm looking to upgrade the graphics card. Is there any recommended cards for gaming that would give me higher fps?

current specs?

Do note that your upgrade options -- which will depend on what you actually have, so I second that request for specs, which is basic information -- will be extremely limited in a SFF. SFF prebuilts are absolutely dreadful for upgrading into gaming PCs.

I don't know much about this. Can you tell me what you need?

At a minimum, your current CPU, your current GPU, and the specs of your current power supply.

It's impossible to recommend an upgrade without knowing what you have at the moment! It's a bit like me asking you to recommend a car upgrade and only telling you that I have a "Toyota."

Not bad... The optiplex probably doesn't have pcie power connectors, so you'd be limited to a GTX 1650 at most, which can draw its power from the slot. If it is SFF, you would need a low profile 1650 which doesn't use power connectors.

As for being CPU/GPU limited, a 1650 would do pretty well with a 4790.

I have this same system and the biggest problem with ANY gpu upgrade is that is not only has to be low profile, but only a single slot because the x16 slot is right next to the power supply. 🙁

If you like the Dell and want to stick with that series, get a bareboned 3020 mt and move your processor and ram to the mt. Then you can add a 1660 easily as well as upgrade the power supply. You can then sell of the SFF as it is a very nice basic office machine.
