There were a lot of different Optiplexes. But from Core2Duo on up they have 2.0, or 2.1 sometimes originally, sometimes upgraded with a BIOS update. 3.0 is not needed for any GPU you can put in an Optiplex. maybe not for any GPU period. A few of the smaller models had a 37W 16xPCIe slot. But mostlt they're normal.
The space available around the slot is another matter. 2 slot cards tend to hit things.

It's LGA775, they're all too old for 3.0, and it doesn't matter anyway. it will run anything you can fit in there. GTX750Ti is the go to card with an OEM PSU. In the MT case you can get abigger PSU and wedge an ITX cards in with some trimming. The PCIe version is good enough .
