i have a dell optiplex 990 MT... did a bunch of research and the GT 1030 should be able to fit my tower. apparently, the PSU is somewhat low on this tower and doesnt work with most cards, but the GT 1030 will fit with the optiplex 990 psu (did a few days research to confirm this) i saw an actual video of someone using the gt 1030 in an optiplex 990 sff (smaller version than mine) now im trying to figure out if im supposed to get the full version of this card or the low profile version. I THINK im supposed to get the full version because i have the full size tower..im posting specs of the card and PCI slot of my optiplex 990

The MT version is mine. notice the card length warning on the bottom saying it cannot be full card.
ok now heres the card im looking at
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce...ncoding=UTF8&refRID=RZDBWPAVMV8Z12FDM1J4&th=1
the dimensions for the single slot card are 6.6 x 1.5 x 4.38 inches which looks like a match for the MT
the dimensions for the low profile card are 5.7 x 1.5 x 2.71 inches which looks like its a match for the smaller towers
its confusing because of the warning saying it cant be a full card and also how the MT full tower height is 4.376 and the single slot big version of the card is 4.38...i'm assuming this is rounded up and is still close and will fit?
also, i want the FAN version not the passive heatsink version...i live in FL and i obviously want a fan.
i saw a best buy questions about the card im looking at, a guy asked if it will fit into an optiplex 990 tower and best buy responded with yes, he was asking about the full version
final note...i use an HD TV thru a display port cable sometimes as my monitor about half the time when i wanna get a big screen going...not sure if that factors in at all
