Graphics card upgrade for optiplex 755 SFF

[AkimboMistiK]

I'm looking for a graphics card upgrade for my optiplex 755 SFF
Its components are currently all stock except for a 4GB ram upgrade
Something that will be able to run new games on medium/high settings

Thanks

are you going to play the new games like BF4 and what settings are you going to choose in the games low,high....etc

I'd say battlefield 4 on about medium settings maybe high with shadows toned down

may i ask what is your budget for the card ?

Not really sure maybe under £200 maybe a bit over

okay now with this money you can buy GTX760 and you can run BF4 with this card at high settings

here, check this card i prefer it :

wouldn't my cpu bottleneck this?

Yes it definitely would! You did not mention your CPU, I guess it is Q6600 or similar at best or Core2Duo or similar at worst. BF4 is CPU hungry as well, video card alone can not make high FPS! Updates to Q6600 is possible if you have inferior CPU.

This is what happened when people doesn't know what Optiplex SFF means - Small Form Factor, so only Low Profile video cards can fit, and no power supply upgrade is possible! So choices are limited.

So far HD 7750 is the strongest one for this Optiplex, since I seen GBP (£), here are the choices

Anything else I can help you with?

755 SFF < needs a low profile card and a new PSU.

SFF builds aren't worth upgrading.

FYI, the (quad core) Q6600 runs on a 1066 MHz FSB, whereas the (dual core) E8400 runs at 1333 MHz. I don't think the mobo allows you to overclock.

I'm running a Radeon HD 6450 in a 755 SFF; I didn't want it for gaming, just needed something decent for a Linux install. The card does have to be low profile and needs the low profile bracket. Also, beware that the graphics slot in the SFF is immediately next to the hard disk mounting, so you cannot use a double-width graphics card.

Also, in case you didn't know, the spec of the 755 SFF is that it can take up to 8 GB RAM (4x 2 GB), but actually it can take 16 GB (4x 4 GB); I have one with a Q6600 and 13 GB (3x 4 GB + 1x 1 GB, awaiting the 4th 4 GB 'cos they ain't cheap).
