TECHKER_1,
Below are the discrete video cards that were offered on this system at point of sale. You may not be able to go much larger without upgrading your power supply to meet other card requirements. Hopefully, a forum user will post that has some ideas.
1GB AMD RADEON™ HD7570
2GB DDR5 AMD RADEON™ HD7770
1GB nVidia Geforce™ GT640
1GB nVidia Geforce™ GT620

VOSTRO 470 is like many itty bitty towers can only take SHORT cards unless you are hacking the drive bays out and putting them somewhere else. 10 to 12 inch long cards WILL NOT PHYSICALLY FIT inside the case without hacking out the drive bays with tin snips.
Power supply must be upgraded for overclocked 1050TI or 1060 etc.
There are short versions of all cards up to 1080.

ZOTAC LOW PROFILE GTX 1030 or even 1050TI is fine as long as its 75W or less and SHORT or MINI version Like the ZOTAC cards are.
