Geforce GTX 1050ti in Dell OptiPlex 790?

outcastBB

i bought a Dell OptiPlex 790mt some time ago and its been while since last upgrade. I have a gt 1030 in there now do you think a gtx 1050ti would work? Im looking at a 1050 that doesnt need extra 8 pin power. I would like your opinion about it thanks!

I dont have alot of money to spend and can get a 1050 ti for really cheap second hand.

I have an Optiplex 790 SFF, which ships with a slightly lower wattage power supply than the 790mt. My 1650, which draws more power under load than the 1050ti, works flawlessly in it. You should be fine.

(CPU is i5-2400, for comparing power usage)
