Graphics card for Dell Optiplex 740
« on: December 10, 2010, 01:12:53 PM »
Evening gents,

Getting one of these corporate workhorses passed on by a mate. Not seen it yet, but I think it will run fairly quiet with the AMD cool and quiet 2.4 x2 dual core. Particularly as I have nothing particularly stressful in mind for it, especially if I can offload most demanding video playback to the gpu. Fairly certain it has a 305w psu, so would this Geforce 210 be too stressful for the PSU? Not planning to game on it, just want the hardware acceleration for video playback.

Ta.
I do not like, when with me play, and I think that you also

Probably OK with that PSU, but if you're worried just throw a beefier one in.

I would guess it would be ok.
