ANyone know if it will work in an Optiplex 790? The voltage requirements for this card sound high for what it is.

Just looked up the Dell Optiplex 790, which has a number of configurations. Spec sheet is downloadable here: http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/04/shared-content~data-sheets~en/documents~optiplex-790-customer-brochure.pdf As usual with prebuilt systems, every configuration that I ran through Newegg's power supply calculator was using every watt that its meager power supply put out. Don't add so much as a hard drive without replacing that PSU. The heftiest one your system can come with is 265W, many come with a 240W PSU (depending on if they put one of the 95W CPUs or the 65W in). Anything bronze rated or up at 300W+ should do the trick. The Radeon 6450 only adds about 10W of consumption... but that would push an Optiplex 790 into brownout territory. FYI: voltages in a PC setup are standardized, immaterial to power consumption. The voltages it uses are the voltages supplied by a PCIe slot. This card has no extra power supply input. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Power Also, for that ~$40 and 10W you don't get much. I bought one for my parents' home theater PC to stop a microstutter when playing 1080P 60FPS flash video, and I chose this card for its compatibility with their old Llano APU in a dual graphics setup... if you're buying it to play games, you might want to look a little further up the pricing ladder... unless you're just playing games from ~2009 or retro-styled indie stuff. This would be better than an onboard intel GPU, at least in terms of compatibility, but that's about all that can be said for it.

Has a dvi-I connector but only supports dvi-d,can't loop back analog so it's useless to my application

If the ATI Radeon HD 3450 that comes in/with the Dell Optiplex 780 has a DMS-59 connector on it, yes. You can see what a DMS-59 connector looks like by putting "DMS-59" in your favorite search engine, and then most of the results will have a picture.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee that this card will work with an optiplex 755. I am sorry and if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know.Sincerely,Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

Well I'm using a bronze 500 watt and it's working. I did have to use a programme called Asus gpu boost to restrict the draw to the card but it works fine. The xfx website does state you need a minimum of 750 watt to run it so yours should be fine if it us at least bronse rated

Yes it is compatible, it is on the list of compatible cards. You should be ready to go when your 7950 arrives.

can't be sure w/o your xpress code or svc tag - just look at the different form factors for optiplex 755 - http://www.dell.com/us/dfb/p/optiplex-755/pd that said - if your optiplex is no more than 2-3 years old - 99% yes, b/c it's PCI express ready and low profile (so should fit in small form factor - the worst case in sense of space for ext. card). given that - if I were you, unless you want to share your xpress code so I can actually check what hardware specs you have, then I'd say go for it - worst case return...

I have 6 dims of all the same kind and model on my nvidea motherboard with an i7 first generation. I would say check you motherboard specs that should say if it would take it. Sorry this may not be much help. But if your motherboard takes it why should it not work.

From my understanding only revision 1 cards are voltage unlocked and only if you have an older bios loaded (non-boost bios). Now if you get a revision 2 it's hardware locked @ 1.25vdc. I hope this helps. It's a great card, but if get a rev 2 don't expect a lot of overclocking headroom. The bios is FZ1. Good luck

Yes the XFX HD 7970 will work with a 500 watt PSU of good quality. But only 1 of the cards if you go with more than 1 you will need a bigger PSU.

I believe, do a double check on 7000 series crossfire, they can be...bu know that doing so would only limit the 7970 while putting the 7770 to the extreme. Better to be of equal cards unless you happened to find a spare card as a replacement for one being worked on or ordered in.

Yes. I beleive it would work. You should have a PCI express slot. I have an optiplex 780 and it would work in mine.

What would you like to know about a CF set up? I have it set up in CF and my brother has it crossfired with a 7950. Both setups are far beyond optimal graphics with not a single issue yet... coolest crossfired cards I've ever owned.

Technically, it should be higher, but it may still work well. There was some sort of incompatibilty between my card and PC (wasn't able to determine the cause), so I traded with a friend. He's now running it on a higher-end medium performance pc with only a 350w psu and it's working perfectly for him. Granted, he only buys high quality brand psu.

The required power supply for this type of card is minimum 800w (espesially if you plan to overclock) with 2power cables dedicated for this video card, so make sure the number of power outlets from the supply is enough for all you other components (ie DVD drive, hard drive, ect) good luck

Absolutely. Most boards will support it, but your case size and configuration need to be addressed. Power is key, since this will require a PSU capable of supplying a minimum of 28 amps per 8 pin cable and a minimum draw of 500 watts. The card is 12.5 inches long in length total, and the radiator will need to be mounted as well. Look for a PSU with a single 12+v rail, with a minimum of 800 watts and you should be ok. If there is more than one rail, then you will need to make sure the out of each is a minimum of 28 amps. Make sense? Bad mofo card though for sure, but the 7990 at the price these days would be pretty darn good as well.

It only has 300w P/S. I believe the card you want requires a minimum 500w, 600w is recommended.
