Hi everybody
I have an old Dell 3010 in SFF and I would like to put a graphic card inside.
Reading the technical guidebook, it says :
- there is only a PCI-e x16 slot 1 + PCI-e x1 slot 2, and looking inside, it seems to be right.
-> DELL™ OPTIPLEX™ 3010 TECHNICAL GUIDEBOOK —FINAL
-> GRAPHICS/VIDEO CONTR OLLER
-> NOTE: MT supports full height (FH) cards and DT and SFF supports low profile (LP) cards
-> NOTE: All PCIe slots support PCIe 2.0)
-> Enhanced Graphic/Video Options :
-> 1GB AMD RADEON HD7570 with DP and DVI Optional LP card
-> 1GB AMD RADEON HD7470 with DP and DVI Optional LP card
THE Questions :
1- Am I obliged to put ONLY an 1GB AMD RADEON HD7470 or HD7570 with DP and DVI, LP card or can I put a NVIDIA equivalent card ?
2- can I put a recent and more powerfull NVIDIA card in PCIe 2.0 ?
3- could someone give me a list of some cheap NVIDIA cards (in low profile or not, because it's a SFF computer) for PCI-e x16 PCI2.0 slot please, thx.
