i do not think so. your pci-e 2.0 slot will fit it, but your 255w psu is not likely to be enough power for it.

1 low-profile PCIe x16
2 low-profile PCI
(Optional riser converts the PCIe and PCI into full height slots)

So to be safe get a low profile 750 ti https://www.google.gr/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=GxVBVt27FOmk8wfe1IvIAg#q=low+profile+750+ti+

also your psu is questionable

There are four version of the Dell Optiplex 780. Will the GTX 750Ti work?

Answer:
Mini-Tower - Maybe
Desktop - No
Small Form Factor - No
Ultra Small Form Factor - No

Only the Mini-Tower version of the Optiplex 780 has even the slightest chance.

i just upgrade psu to 300 w

Wolfshadw · Nov 9, 2015

The Mini Tower version already had a 305watt PSU. It really depends on which version of the Optiplex 780 you have.

as to what wolfshadw said

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/t/19580048

the you got a dell will the dell proprietary bios accept any aftermarket card ??

example
http://forums.evga.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-750-Ti-FTW-My-PC-won39t-boot-up-help-m2278722.aspx

my disclaimer on this

some models of store bought computers [dell.hp,acer,ect..] may come with a ''locked or fixed'' bios and may not allow you to change certain hardware as a video card.. this is done to protect them from undue warranty claims and refunds .this is not done to hurt you but to protect them. you really need to see if that upgrade has been proven to work in your model first before you invest money in it .. there are a lot of these threads here at toms to look at some models will allow upgrades and some dont.. and a lot of guys here say ya ya ya when is really no no no...it would be sad you spent $200 on a card that wount post after you installed it as most find out. then get told its your psu and you spend more and end up right back where you are now, but its up to you good luck..

you got to know the the boards in these computers are not like the ones we use to do custom builds witch are open to upgrading with in the boards compatibly . the bios is custom made for there design and just for the parts they authorize to be used on there computers there only guaranteed to work as is out of the box as you bought it ,..

also these boards do not have to meet atx standards and there pci-e slot power may not do the required 75w needed for most higher end cards and can be limited to say 45 or 60w that is all thats needed with the low end factory oem cards that it may of shipped with

in the end you got to do your homework then you buy you try and hope it don't make you cry

good luck

''in the end you got to do your homework then you buy you try and hope it don't make you cry '''

as I said a prebuilt is only guaranteed to work as sold to you out of its box anything over that is all your own risk

good luck

These are all Dell Optiplex 780s. Which one do you have?

azertymh · Nov 9, 2015

dell optiplex 780 sff
desktop

azertymh · Nov 9, 2015

and gpu is small

Wolfshadw · Nov 9, 2015

No. That card will not work.

azertymh · Nov 9, 2015

Wolfshadw why

junkeymonkey · Nov 9, 2015

sff = small form factor and requires a low pro card

maybe something like this ?? wolfshadw take a look ??

reviewer says

''Pros: Lots of gaming power for a low profile card. Runs nicely in a Dell Optiplex 780 SFF with a 235W PSU (other components inside the case are Intel Core2 Quad Q8400, PNY CS1111 480GB SSD, 4 x Nanya DDR3-1600 1.5v 4GB RAM, DVD-RW ODD).''

looks like the way to go for you ??

Wolfshadw · Nov 9, 2015

That card is too big. It won't fit in your computer case.

In order to install a graphics card into your computer, it needs to be a low-profile graphics card.

@JunkeyMonkey - If that card is available to the OP, then yes. That should be a good fit.

guys this card gtx 750 ti fine or nofor my pc

junkeymonkey · Nov 9, 2015

well 2 things up front

[1] you need a low pro card as I linked above and as wolf showed out side of that you need to get a ruler and measure it all out for fit this is why it calls for a ''low pro'' card I cant guess at it from here

[2] guy states it works and runs in a 780sff with out issue

[3] looking over the newegg reviews seems a lot of dell users with a sff grab this card and it also hold a 81% 5 egg rating

all I can say on this is this is the card you need with a lot of end user assurances that it will fit and boot to desktop

that's as far as I will go with a opinion on what card for you to get and use .. just seems like a low risk and a good buy

this card is not pro or no
