What a legend responding after 3 years

dude great video for someone trying to see if they want to throw a gpu in there or not. The PSU is so specific in these you basically have to run a low profile.

I have an Optiplex 9020 SFF with 8GB of RAM. After watching this video I took the plunge and bought the same card; after installing it I can report that it works a treat. I am now playing SC2 on far higher settings (game suggested ones) than the IG, as one would anticipate. The card runs quietly, in fact I can barely hear it even when I have no programs running. Thank you Mr Whitianga :o)

Hey MrWhitieanga. I hope you don't mind if I add my report on this build to your post. I bought a Dell 9020 SFF (i5-4570+8gb RAM+1Tb HDD) and installed the same Gigabyte LP GTX 1050 ti card onto the PCIex4 slot. After playing a lot of Fallout 4 on the GeForce Experience optimized settings (high-ultra/1080p) I can report 52-60 fps consistently. However, the temperature is an issue. I installed CAM monitor and my card was going as high as 81°C, which is ok still, but not recommended for gpu lifespan. So I removed the cover and pulled out the psu, laid it on top of the open case and tried again... -10°C difference after a couple of hours. Another important point is that particularly Fallout4 seems to freeze my gpu temperature sensor if I run it from the desktop launcher. This is a bad thing because the card doesn't report high temp and the fan doesn't spin up, leading to serious overheating. It doesn't seem to happen when I launch from GeForce Experience, I get normal temperature readings and fan control then. Also... hooked up to a wattmeter, power draw for the whole system has never gone above 155W and usually runs at 50-70W when not gaming, so the PSU rated at 255 is perfectly capable of handling it. Just letting ppl know in case they want to replicate the build.

Update for you all. I worried that the 4x slot would be a bottleneck for this card so I took the board out and tested it I'm the 16x too. Basically no difference. The card/system is not bus-limited. So by my reckon Ng this is about the fastest card you can get for this system. Extrely pleased with the results. The overall spec is technically not fast enough for VR but my use case is only very basic. I use a PSVR headset for sim racing I'm Assetto Corsa and the like. It works a charm. The card is plenty fast enough to maintain 60fps in VR, which I'm the PSVR is very comfortable indeed. Happy bunny. I have a VR gaming rig for next to nothing.

Just picked up this card and have it hooked up to the PCIx4 slot. I gotta say I am quite impressed on what this card can do. Tested DOOM with everything on high except shadow and motion blur (medium) Was getting between 54 and 61fps on 1080p windowed mode (Using a 1440p monitor at the moment). Tried our Divinity Original Sin 2 with everything on max except lighting shadows (disabled) as that feature was causing the directx to crash. Was getting solid 60fps all across on 1080p windowed. Definitely worth getting if you are upgrading an SFF computer like the 9020SFF. The specs on my spare 9020 SFF besides the graphics card are: Intel i5 4750 @ 3.2 ghz 16 GB RAM 1 TB WD RAID Low Power HDD from 2012 @ 64mb/s cache

I’m confident the card works fine in the dell 990 small form factor with stock psu.

A small ssd boot drive (128-256gb) is dirt cheap and make more impact then any upgrade u can make. If u can spend $120-150 for the 1050ti. What’s another $30 to increase the performance feel of this computer by a factor of 200%. imo

@UC74w5w4BPM4dcv62cdIRxzw I just bought another sata cord with splitter.

I also have a Optiplex 9020 with a i5 4570. How are you fitting the card into the PCI-e 16 slot? My PCI-e 16 slot (as well as the all the 9020 variants listed in dells online manuals) are on the second slot about 1/2 inch away from the power supply. Not only is there not enough room for the card but since the SFF case only has two slots and the gtx 1050 ti takes up two slots, even if i move the power supple the card will still not fit. Am i doing something wrong or missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

SOO weird question... I have the EXACT same computer Optiplex 9020 with the same damn processor and I've been researching all day and I finally thought I found a solution but then I realize our computers are different. In my 9020 there is a graphics card in there right now, its a AMD HD8570, and it is super slim and barely fits without touching the PSU, then I realize your PCIE slot is aligned with the top card slot (you know the little slot on the side, there's 2 of them, mine is lined up with the bottom one therefore this wouldn't fit since this takes up 2 slots and mine only has room for a 1 slot card, how is this true when we have the same system though?

Now the only way it will fit is by putting it in the top black slot, however will that work and give it is full or near to full potential? Weird story, my computer is in a moving truck and I have no way of testing it until Saturday. Will this 75 watt TDP card (same TDP as the card you have) work in the Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF?

Hi Mr Whitianga , I assume you had no problem installing it in the PCI Express x16 (wired as x4) data width (maximum) which is the only port in the Dell 9020 SFF, as the true 16X is to close to the power supply.

I did the same thing with a GTX 1650 in a Dell 9020 SFF and it works great and miles above the stock Radeon HD but I am curious how much better it would be if I could fit it in the 16x slot

Dell are actually the ones who screwed the design of their motherboard up. The PCI-E x16 slot should ALWAYS be the 1st slot by the CPU, not the other way around. Why they put it after the standard PCI-E slot is beyond me....

Hello and thank you for sharing your build with us! I recently purchased a Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF with a i5-4590 and 16gb ram off of Ebay. I read a lot of conflicting results regarding the GPU selection for this base pc. I went with the Gigabyte GT 1030. I am happy with what I paid for everything (refurb pc, 240G SSD, Gigabyte GT 1030: US$ 250.) Now I am starting to wonder if my assumptions were not accurate. I thought that if the PCIE slots did not support the wattage for the 1050 ti, it would just not work, as in not POST. Error codes in beep-speak. Annoying PC speaker language. Now I am hearing that it will work, just not as effectively? Can someone confirm this? What is done is done, I bought the GT 1030 and I am gaming and actually quite happy compared to my old Franken-PC build. However my devil's advocate is saying I can sell off my GT 1030 for at least 50% of my purchase price if not more due to its low usage (got it off amazon for 84 us dollars) and go with the 1050 TI since it is within my budget. I have been very analytical about the performance in the games I play and the 720p vs 1080p barrier, and I am seeing in quite a few of the games I play, just a moderate amount of performance will get me to that sweet FPS spot that lets me enjoy the quality I prefer at the frame rate I desire. Thanks if anyone cares to chat about this with me! :-D

So i just recently bought a 9020 SFF and am in almost the same situation as you are in. I have done some research and from what I can tell the power supply on the 9020 can produce around 255 W. This is definitely more than capable of running a GT 1030 but I believe it can be quite worthwhile to get a better card. A Gtx 1050ti and 750ti both can be very power hungry. So what I think would be best is to get the mini or smaller less power consuming versions. My best recommendation is to go for the Gtx 1050 ti mini or Gtx 1650 mini. Both don't require external power. I hope this helps but I am still looking myself :)

It's interesting when I post this video showing this card working in this pc but get lots of comments like how can this be possible, that psu is not enough or how can it work in that short x4 PCIe slot that only supports 25w, surely there's not enough room in that case but I've heard from lots of gamers who are successfully using this setup and I've also heard from a couple early on where it didn't work out, pc would blue screen or freeze but I'd say for the vast majority this has been a stable rig. I'm actually surprised this card is still for sale, its getting on now.

Is this still working fine until now? We have same OEM Dell PC 9020. I am planning to buy same video card that you install .. I was wondering if you countered any issue for the 255 Watts installed on 9020 PSU when you use it for the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 ti?

When I connect the card to the montior with HDMI, I get a "No Signal" message. When I connect my onboard intel graphics to monitor everything works fine.. When I try to install drivers, I get a message that says: cannot recognize gtx 1050 (or something like that).Bios is not reconizing the card.. When I go to the bios, it says that all PCI express slots are empty.(bios is : A19 - latest version). Everything is updated to the latest version too (chipsets,etc). The slot is not dead, I had a sound card before and it was working fine. The card is also not dead. I've tested it on my old pc and it worked. I also opened a thread on the Dell Forum and a guy told me that I should turn CSM ON and Secure Boot OFF but there is no option for that on my bios, even though I am running windows 10 64bit uefi.

I don't know about the 9010, its got a smaller power supply and its an older chipset. I wouldn't buy the card for that pc

I have that computer and this card, it works perfectly fine. No psu upgrade either. I can play everything.

Did your motherboard have a limited PCIe slot? Like it says on the technical handbook that its only 35w. The card uses 75w

I don't know, its the standard 9020 small form factor motherboard and the card works fine

Thanks, because my desktop - Optiplex 790 motherboard doesn't say its PCIe slot has a watt limit but like the technical handbook says, All versions MT, DT, SFF, has a maximum watt limit of 35w. Since it seems to be working fine on your desktop, I might give it a go with the EVGA GTX 1050 ti SC

How were the thermals? Was there any performance loss due to overheating? Also couldn't you also drill holes in the side panel so there would be more air circulation instead of just leaving the side panel off?

Update after 1 week. Niece has been using the pc for a week. She plays overwatch every night and she said the computer has been great, no problems at all, very stable. The only test I did on the card was the 3dmark benchmark in the vid
