Will a Zotac GTX 1050Ti fix in my Optiplex 780 sff

[marcusmulvena11]

I’m curious if a Zotac GTX 1050Ti will fit in my Optiplex 780 Sff

The card: https://m.staples.ca/en/zotac-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-low-profile-4gb-gddr5-graphics-card-zt-p10510e-10l/product_2724472_1-CA_1_20001?kpid=2724472&cid=PS:SBD:GS:n:n:SBD:58:21800&cvosrc=PLA.google-CA.Laptop&DesktopComputers&cvo_cid=493976536&cvo_crid=109677787696&cvo_cid=%7Bcampaign%7D&cvo_crid=109677787696&Matchtype=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzJW41LuB2AIVhLXACh2MMQcTEAQYASABEgJtCfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&sk_test=a
I know that it requires 300 watts but I’m getting a new computer in a bit

PC Specs: Core 2 Duo E8500, 3.10Ghz, 250 PSU, 8gbs Of DDr3 I think, Zotac GT 710
Need answers ASAP, wanting to know what’s good

get low profile ones, regular 1050 ti will not fit into sff...
the link is good, 250 is plenty too.

Thank you for a fast reply. I meant to say LP but forgot too. Will there will any case problems with the Graphics card like any clearance probs?

That's a Dell Optiplex 780, and GTX1050Ti LP Zotac.

You may want to investigate adding (replacing?) the case fan. I'm not 100% certain but I think it uses a normal 60mm fan. This Noctua with the LNA (low noise adapter) might work well.

If so, I don't know if it would be best as INTAKE or EXHAUST. You'd need to monitor the graphics and CPU temperatures to see what works best.

Thanks for the video. Going to buy it for Christmas

The Dell case fans are Delta, or Nidec industrial fans. They come in powers up to 1.8A. Aftermarket fans are toys compared to these. JP911 is the SFF heatpipe cooler. Q9650 is the good CPU.
Most Low profile 1050s I've seen have a hard mounted DVI port in the 2nd slot. The older GTX750s had a removable VGA port there. If you're up to cutting the back of the case to make room for the DVI port then it's a great GPU. The card goes away from the other expansion slots so look before you leap. With the 4GB GPU run at least 12GB RAM. The 750Ti is a huge improvment over the 710. But way less than the GTX1050Ti. if you expect exerything to snap together like Leggos then the 750Ti, if you're beyond that then go for the GTX1050Ti which will have more life left in it when you move to another computer. The 780s had UEFI BIOS so your Video card choices aren't limited to the brands that support Legacy BIOS. Maybe you can find one w/o the DVI problem. if 2 core is working for you you might try an E7500 with pinmod to 333fsb for a 3.66GHz 2 core.
You might want to look for an XPS210 or Dimension 9200c 275W PSU. I haven't done this, but they were SFF and came with 135W Pentium Ds.
See if it looks like it will fit.
I've added a link to the front of my sig. so maybe I won't have to keep typing this info. over and over again. Let me know what you think.
TLDR isn't a good answer. I took the time to write it. if anyone can't be bothered to read it T2B.

William P I would pick a 750 Ti but I’m planning on putting the 1050 Ti in my new Pc once I get it. And I can’t seem to find a LP 750 Ti

I agree, but you will probably have to do a little metal work on the case to clear the DVI port. No big deal since it's EOL anyway.
One of these that pulls the chip toward the outside of the case would be good. No metal dust like with a dremel.

Cut the top and botton end of the 2nd slot side of bracket a little. The tabs only. You can run it w/o the bracket first to confirm no DOA issues. Use the bracket as a template to mark the case. Then trim and re- install.
I have the Zotac 1050Ti MINI in an Opti 380. runs great except for the 8GB RAM issue. Only in Unigine Valley. definitely worth the trouble.
