Hi sifus,

I recently bought 3 optiplex dell 7010 sff, those small form factor desktop, from a friend who closed down his business during this mco.
The specs are
I3 2nd gen
240ssd
8gb ram (not sure what type of ddr)
Win10

Bought them at rm450 each to help out my fren, since he is not doing well and shop quoted him around 250 to rm300 max.
Just nice, as i going to hire 2 more part timers to do some basic product uploading (for ecommerce) and light photoshop work like enhancing images. Sometimes these parttimers play some games like csgo or dota2 after work with my fulltime staff.

So i am thinking of upgrading these newly acquired desktops with some budget graphic cards, maybe 512mb, or 1gb cards. 2nd hand ones.

The thing is i am old bird already, the last time i sort of custom build my pc for gaming was like 12 or 15 years ago, stopped gaming, so my knowledge of graphic cards is rather basic. The most i know is how to check bottleneck.. very simple knowledge

Anyone can advise any good site to research these type of low profile graphic cards suitable for small form factor desktops, or recommend cards for my spec? So when i go garage shopping, i know what to look out for and avoid buying cards that cannot work.

Thank you! Sorry for the essay.

u need a card that is half height, short (that fits the dimension) & without additional gpu power plug (preferably).

Thanks bro.
Ya i did some research online.
I will keep a lookout at sff gpu and double check the power consumption
These days the gpu are all 4gb and above so i have a hard time research what card is suitable for i3 2nd gen. Online is not easy to find out the bottleneck and there are so many different gpu (the old ones).

You have bigger problem finding the card at the right price than worry about bottleneck.
