75W cards are for the MINI TOWER not SFF. And only in the BLUE SLOT. Its 25W max for the Black Slots. and 10W max for X1 Black Slots. Thats why GT1030 is max. FULL SIZE cards do NOT FIT into the SFF case.  Only LOW PROFILE Cards. [URL]   [URL]   [URL]   [URL] Tech Guide [URL]   [IMAGE]BLUE SLOTS ONLY
Hi there, I'm hoping to install a GPU in a Dell Optiplex 9010 SFF. The technical guidebook says the maximum wattage available via the blue PCIe slot is 50 watts. However, page 30 of the same technical guidebook also specifies that a bundled 75 watt NVidia graphics cards is available in the SFF model in this PCIe slot. How is this possible if the maximum wattage is 50W? I can't see any connection for an external power supply on the graphics card (image here). Is the technical guidebook wrong? Or can I go ahead and install a 75W GPU powered solely through the PCIe slot, which is what I would like to do. thanks
