Very specific cards work fine.

The Optiplex 3010/7010/9010 ship with different chassis. The USFF (small form chassis) cannot use an added video card because the motherboard does not have a PCIe x16 slot. The SFF (small form chassis) uses Low profile video cards. The MT (mini tower) and DT (desktop) can use both Full height video cards and Low profile video cards.
Validated Dell OEM video cards =
VVYN4, D7DYD, 2C7NH AMD Radeon HD7470
0WH7F, N1N66, NFXD5, 2FVV6 AMD Radeon HD7470 Low profile
9M4KG, NJ0D3 AMD Radeon HD7570
KFWWP, 4C5DK AMD Radeon HD7570 Low profile
YG17P Nvidia GeForce 640GT
There are most likely newer video cards that will work. Hoping other 7010 users will post their results.
