[SOLVED] Would this gpu work in a dell optiplex 990?

[MrGamer21]

hey so i recently got an optiplex 990 and i'd like to know if i could use a gt 730 2gb ddr3 graphics card as a temporary solution
my specs:
i5 2400 3.10Ghz
hynx 2x4gb ddr3 RAM
and the mini tower optiplex 990

According to the specs the dell mini tower optiplex 990 has full height PCIe x16. Yes that will work. Source (PDF)

Do you already have that card or are you buying it? I would not get that card for the system. For that age CPU an nVidia 750Ti should work in the mini tower version without needing to swap out the power supply.

Looking at eBay, there's a lot of NVIDIA 750 TI's up for sale or bid.😀

I agree with hang-the-9 that the 750 Ti is a lot better than the GT 730, in fact that card won't be much of an improvement over the Optiplex 990 built in graphics. Just need a monitor with Displayport (for digital signal), or a displayport to HDMI adaptor (such as the Club3D model sold on Amazon). VGA is OK for checking email, but not that great for watching videos.

Good Luck!👍
