it is a 3070MT

https://data.technimax.cz/attach/artilky/dell-optiplex-3070-specs-sheet.pdf

This is a professionally written guide on ##70 MT upgrade. note that ##40 through ##70 MT chassis have the same dimensions.

these are 6 inch smaller in depth compared to ##20, ##10, #90.  Dell intended to make smaller business towers.

https://www.hardware-corner.net/guides/optiplex-7040-upgrade/

“There are two parameters you need to be careful about – the GPU length and GPU height. In terms of height, don’t go over 5.5 inches (140 mm), this is the maximum you can go and still conveniently close the case lid. And because the case is now shorter the length is also reduced – 9 inches (230 mm) or less.”

It is important to consider GPU size when using OptiPlex 3070MT. This is primarily due to the slimmer and shorter case compared to the xx20 version. As a result, there is a smaller selection of GPU models available.

. Chassis dimensions

Height (inches / centimeters)

13.8/35

Width (inches / centimeters)

6.10/15.40

Depth (inches / centimeters)

10.80/27.40

the length of card matters.  the length is 9 inches (230 mm) or less.

whether one or two fans are not critical.

zotac 1650 single fan is 151 mm, double fan is 173 mm

evga 1650 two fan is 202 mm
