[superdan]

Hi guys, so i recently decided that i want to add a gpu in my old dell optiplex 990 to use it for schoolwork, programming and gaming on games like bo3(ofc not max settings) and my pc is running an i3 2100 and i dont want to replace the cpu for now, i was just thinking about my a mini gtx 750ti snd putting it in there, would it work?

You will need at least a good quality 300w psu. Does the card need a 6 pin connector and if so does the psu have it?

Yes, it does have the necessary slot for it. However, I'd root around inside your machine, as I don't know if the parts are soldered or not. Also, you'll probably need a psu upgrade.

Is it the MT version?

No it does not need a 6 pin and ive seen people do the same thing as me but with a 230w psu and i calculated my wattage use and i only use about 110

Dell PSUs are very conservatively rated. You should be OK with a card that runs off of just the PCIe slot. There are 4 different 990s MT, DT, SFF, and USFF. It would help to know which you have. But that's the go to card for small PSUs.

I have the dt version

I think that needs a low profile card but it should be OK. I'm very happy with mine. Be sure and get a DDR5 version. Huge difference over DDR3.

Should be fine, even with the power supply in that Dell.

May or may not run , does it have a UEFI BIOS?

Im not sure

990 is pretty new it should be EUFI. But good issue to consider. For my older computer I had to find one that isn't.

You're still good to go. They come both ways just check before you buy.
