an LP 1050ti should work for both SFF and tower variants.

Is it possible to fit an EVGA 1060 : https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GAMING-Support-06G-P4-6161-KR/dp/B01IPVSGEC/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1519874621&sr=1-1&keywords=1060

No.

 

Standard SFF cases require half height cards.  The 1060 SFF is not half height, its roughly half length while still being full height.

 

You likely need something that looks like this...

Looks like it needs to be single slot too.

 

Which means you are stuck with a GT 1030...

Can this one work https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT-710-2GD5-LP/dp/B07353Q3M7/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1519876821&sr=1-4&keywords=low+profile+graphics+card

 

[KarathKasun]

It wouldn't be much faster than the integrated graphics.  If you cant play a game on the integrated graphics, you cant play it on a GT 710.

I see, The i will go with the one u suggest, I don't actually want it for hardcore gaming , so I think this should be alright.

Thank you

The 1030 should serve your needs fairly well.  AFAIK it can play pretty much all current games with low settings.  Older or less demanding titles can likely use medium.

Wasnt there a single slot 1070 made by Galax ? katana or whatever it was called .. and shouldnt a zotac 1070 mini fit ? not taking into account the PSU issues here

Neither are low profile/half height.

Still thinking of the wrong dimension.

 

It needs to be half height from the pcie slot to the top edge of the PCB.  Cards cant be hacked up to make them low profile.

I can get my hands fast on this one https://www.newegg.com/global/sa/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133543 .

wht do you think

[KarathKasun]

Nope, thats a hot pile of trash.  The DDR3 GT 730 (96 shaders) is actually Fermi (!) based, and is just a rebrand of the GT 430.

 

The only GT 730 worth anything is the GDDR 5 version.

sry to trouble you again but the card you suggested is a little bit expensive for me ; btw is this one compatible https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GV-N1030SL-2GL-Silent-Profile/dp/B072HRD3CY/ref=sr_1_38?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1520078978&sr=1-38

thnkz

Hate to get back to you so late, been sick and away from the internet.

 

That may be too thick, the heatsink extends out too far from board.

Why does it need to be single slot?  Is the motherboard smaller that mATX?  My Lenovo SFF had a motherboard that was same width as mATX so plenty of room for a double width card.  The problem with adding a GPU to that would have been the crappy PSU.  If you've lucked out and got a proper SFF PSU then you could look into replacing the case with an aftermarket SFF

The Dell in question has the PCIe slot on the edge of the board next to the PSU.
