[upgrade] Optiplex 980 from gt 710 to...?

[Condex]

The optiplex 980 that I have has:

 

i7 870

16gp ddr3 fury

gt 710

psu 235 (stock with the computer)

ssd 750evo 250gb

 

Now, I was looking to squeeze my gpu capabilities I had in mind 1050, 1050ti, 1030 but I don't know exactly if the PSU will survive with any of those 1050s... and if it won't bottleneck to the point of being useless to upgrade to them.

 

EDIT:

added 2 pics

id get a 1050ti. PSU will be fine, those are low power card. SHould work fine with that cpu, the old i7's still got a lot of power.

look at what kinds of GPU upgrades dell themselves recommends, they should have documentation for that *somewhere*.

 

that said, i'd recommend to go safe with GT1030 (should already be a huge boost in performance)

they probably haven't updates that since the computer came out, and its a buiness system, so the gpus listed will probably be things like a nvs 310.

 

Power supply wise you have more than enough for a 1050ti.

well, you can base youself on the wattage of the most power hungry listed GPU.

but the suggested gpu's are never high power as this is a buiness desktop, and there is no need for a powerfull gpu, and if you needed a powerufll gpu you go buy the dell precision.

 

PSU wise, you can run on much lower than people seem to think. I ran a phenom ii x6 1090t and a rx 480 on a 280w psu just fine with primve95 + furmark.

I would go with the 1050 Ti. It is a good GPU for the power constraint.

This are interesting results that I got:

 

2 pics added with the watt consumption.

I checked the specs of each low profile and almost every single one says "recommended psu 300w"
just one saw that it was consumming 75w cuz that's what the motherboard could supply to the gpu.

I know it is a good gpu and I know pascal it's a very good optimized maxwell the thing is I don't want to force the psu to the limits just playing overwatch or other games. I won't use it to bench hard but I don't want the psu to pass away cuz of the gpu pushing to hard from just playing games. I love the gtx 1050ti for this computer just don't feel confortable with the psu limitation.
