GTX 1050 Ti with Optiplex 7040 Mini Tower

Hi Raghu1015,

Thanks for posting.

The Optiplex 7040 supports the following graphics cards:  GForce 745 (MT Only) AMD Radeon R7 350X, and R5 340X.  The GTX 1050 ti, may work if the stock power supply can handle it.

Hi  Dell-RobertP,

Thanks for quick reply.

The power supply in my MT is only 240w It has i7, DVD RW, and 1TB hdd and Radeon R5 340x. I use optical drive only for making data dvd once in a month or so.

Is it possible to upgrade the psu for Optiplex 7040 MT with third party psu without damaging the system. I dont think Dell makes higher PSU for this system.

Thank You,

Hi SpeedStep,

Thanks for the information.  MODDIY CAB359 like connectors not available in India. Changing the power supply may affect the warranty.

I found this on Dell website:

I dont know which Dell system supports this card.

Thank You.

Hi SpeedStep,

Thanks for information.  It will affect the warranty from Dell?

I found a PNY Geforce GTX 1050Ti on Dell US website. It recommends 300w power supply.

I wonder which Dell system uses it!.

Thank You,

Hi SpeedStep,

Thanks for the information.

MODDIY CAB359  cable or equivalent converter cable not available in India. Adding third party psu may affect the warranty. I found this product on the Dell website:

It also says required power supply 300w. I don't know which dell system is compatible with this gpu.

Thank You,
