Not that one unfortunately. When they advertise a mini high power gpu they mean short card but not low profile for SFF case such as 3470.  Low profile meant half height.  You could consider GT 1030.

problem w 3470 is that pciex16 slot is one slot width from psu, which means it cannot accommodate a thick heatsink low profile card such as 1050, 1050 ti etc.  if you can tolerate installing psu outside case then options are better.https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/vostro-3470-desktop/vos_3470_service_manual/removing-the-system-board?guid=guid-e0dfa395-72bd-412a-9f1d-6e1110b68595&lang=en-us

Possibly, but I doubt any would be any better than your on-board video-card (as half-height video-cards are very small).

 

Plus, you have very little power to spare and no extra space for air-flow to cool it.

A few graphics cards that should work with your system with 200w PSU.  Some come with both large and small brackets.  Be sure to get the LP (low profile) version either way.

Also manufacturers just in the past year did start making a “slim” version of the GTX1650. Its not worth it in my opinion at the $300 price point before tax and shipping.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/325506384892?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Gk5HC-yzTJW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=aLkSgMjVTpS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

The asian market place also sells a GTX1050ti in a slim model, but again want above MSRP for that card as well.

@PC Parts Bin​ 

Please re-check the wattages on the cards you listed, or state the wattages with cards.  Some are outside of the Dell spec 50w limit for SFF with 200w PSU.

You can still list those cards if you want, but then state that they are outside of Dell spec.

Cards that will work with a 200w Dell PSU with 50w spec limit:

Edited from PC Parts Bin list:

Quadro's P400, 600, & 1000

From PC Parts Bin:

Graphics cards that will work for low profile on 200 watt PSU.

Direct X 12 graphics cards for modern rendering:

-GT 1030 GDDR5

-RX550

-RX6400

Direct X 11 Graphics cards for previous decade rendering:

-AMD R7 200series graphics cards (previous and branded from the ATI HD series graphics cards)

-GT710

-GT720

-GT730

-55w GTX750

I still mentioned the 55w GTX 750 because GPU's don't take full power all of the time.

@redxps630​ Thank you for your quick response.

So Is it okay or safe if the psu sits outside of a pc? Will the temperature of the overall Pc stays good?

1650 is not a high power gpu so temp will be okay. When psu sits outside the side panel is off too giving more access to ambient cool air.

@redxps630​ So should I consider buying GTX 1650 low profile for this build. Is it really worth it? Or should I go with rx550 low profile or Rx 6400 full profile ( because I can't find the low profile)?

Sorry for too many questions. I don't really know well about pc components. Recently I'm planing to make my Dell Vostro 3470 somewhat an entry level gaming pc. That's why I'm asking so many questions. Thank you for your time. Please do reply.

RX 550 is a Dell entry level video card not really a gaming card. It is configured in Dell Optiplex which is a business model.

GTX 1650 is 200% faster than RX 550

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-1650-vs-AMD-RX-550/4039vs3925

Still in 2024 depending on price and budget I sense the GeForce 10/16 series are getting outdated soon or already.  They are still capable of games depending on the resolution you play and the kind of games.  GTX 1650 is 20% faster than RX6400, while RTX 6000 series is a much newer model.  When comparing cards not only you need to consider age of model but also class.  An old muscle engine still outstrips modern entry level toy, depending on what you like: new look or more juice.  In general new games are evolving towards newer model cards but in each model the medium or high end gpu are always the flagship.
