Wait a hot minute
Optiplex 7010
Yes
But i put in in an Antec Nine Hundred case
I bought a Optiplex 7020. I need a refresher since it is late for me. DT? Is that full or small size?
DT is the 2nd biggest, but its half height case
MT is the full size case
SFF is the small half height case
and USFF is the barely upgradable at all super small case
The DT was fine until i wanted to add a GTX 275, which is definitly NOT gonna fit in there, so i put it in an Antec Nine Hundred case and learned how much proprietary BS dell used
I'll have to figure out which variant I have, then.. My dream of a PC that runs more than Minecraft may not be so distant after all
Through a quick glance, it seems I may have SFF
Heres a thing from dells site showing the differences
Look like the bottom ones? or the top ones?
Bottom
It's SFF
good, the top ones are really old
I miss my Windows '98 MT tho ;-;
But anyway
Knowing I have SFF, is it possible to upgrade the graphics card after all?
at least according to this video
Specifically, two decent ones would be a 1650 Low Profile, or a 1050 ti Low Profile
That's literally all the components I wanted to upgrade: RAM, hard drive, and graphics
Yep 😄
These are popular for compact simple gaming pcs
And I obviously added a PCIE chip so I don't run a Ethernet cable through the house
looks like on this one its behind the GPU slot instead of infront of it unlike the 7010
which is a GOOD thing so the gpu doesnt block one of your slots unlike on the 7010
actually, wait it doesnt look like these 1050 ti or 1650 would fit
it needs a SINGLE slot, LOW profile video card
thats pretty limited, but there are still options
Rip, was just about to ask which you recommend
Cheapest upgrade card would be a Dell Radeon Hd 7570 on the used market
what games do you plan to run on it?
This would be the fastest you can currently put in it, unless nvidia or amd comes out with something new in this size
To be honest.. I realized as soon as I bought it that what I wanted to do wasn't going to happen with this one; which was basically running things like Saints Row or Halo on it
Which saints row games
2 won't run good on anything XD
