Dell Optiplex 7060 video card upgrade help????

I just bought a OptiPlex 7060 SFF High Performance PC with Intel Core i7-8700 3.2GHz 6-core CPU, 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD off Amazon, I have a couple questions if Anyone could help...What /Where is the Video output? It doesn't have any video cards installed. ***What HDMI video card would you recommend I buy for the video out to my big screen tv? I don't do gaming, but I'd still like a good one around 3 to 4 hundred dollars. Any help would be so helpful, thanks 712vR4j3MVL._SL1500_.jpg

I'm not sure how high-end a card you could use in this system, with the PSU and size limitations, but you'd need a low-profile card that doesn't eat too much power - I think the best you can do is a special low-profile/low-riser card using the Geforce 1030 or 1050.

Something like this seems to be a popular choice, just make sure that a) the card you want is a low-profile card with a half-height bracket/backplate and b) there is no external power connector as the SFF won't have it or support the extra power draw.

I have this PC as well and is having the same problem on how to upgrade the GPU on it since it has a relatively small body (akin to a console). Questions are: Is it possible for be to upgrade the GPU? Can an external GPU work on it? What GPU are small enough to fit in it and give a boost in gaming FPS 50+?

The video output are the 2 DISPLAY PORT connectors.

You could add a GT1030 which would give you HDMI and DVI.

8CCF1 GeForce GT 1030 has the following video out ports = DVI-D SL/HDMI

DELL OEM GT1030 

NON DELL CARDS will require SECURE BOOT OFF and LEGACY ON.

GTX 1050TI LP is not applicable due to the  200W power supply in the  SFF.  75W cards DO NOT WORK in SFF models.

Required Power Supply 300 W

welcome to DP ,display port, its really great.

buy monitor with DP

buy and adapter  plug from DP to what  ever yours is, DVI ?

or spend weeks tying not to over load that weak gutless PSU with 10 cards failed

why buy any SFF is the question I have, why do that?

 

I have kit box in the lab here that adapts anything to anything, all work, some sold 12,000 miles south west are no good, sold for $3. some even lie.

YOU SAID NOT GAMING SO I BELIEVED YOU.

75W cards require power supply OUTSIDE of the Case because the "TOWER" is actually sub compact very similar to Inspiron 3650.

Power 24 Pin to 6 Pin Adapter Cable

no monitor at all just TV i guess,

same link same place but TV HDMI out.

DP to HDMI

sold everywhere really. and is SUPER COMMON this. as many PCs do  not have HDMI at all.

the only tricky adaptations (besides omg thunderbolt)

are (DP has 500mA of power) HDMI is super weak, so when adapting HDMI to other things

make sure the adapter has USB power stealing cable. or it will not work, with 50ma power pin hdmi 10x less.

but you are not doing HDMI to other things,

so yours is EASY as pie.
