Just checked the CPU in the 330: Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz Looks like anything more than a GTX 750 is going to be bottlenecked by the CPU Intel Core2 Quad Q8400 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 27.14% of CPU bottleneck on 1080p resolution. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck. Intel Core2 Quad Q8400 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce 14.95% of CPU bottleneck on 1080p resolution. Everything over 10% is considered as bottleneck. Intel Core2 Quad Q8400 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce only 0.42% of CPU bottleneck on 1080p resolution.
Hi, Currently running a Zotac 750 1GB Low Profile card in an Optiplex 330 with no problems, but wondering if I can upgrade this to a GTX 1650 which takes power just from the PCIe. Power and physical dimensions look OK, but does anyone know if there are bandwidth problems with the motherboard/CPU/PCI slot? Alternatively, could I upgrade to a GTX950 2GB? Thanks in advance.
Optiplex 330 MT with GTX 1650
