PCIe Card incretion clarifications

System documentation below.   The size of the chassis will severely limit your choices of graphics cards, as will the limited cooling in such a small case.

If you're looking for support of full size graphics cards, choose a larger form factor system.

@ejn63​ ,

We planned to insert the following carts in that PC. Can you please confirm the compatibility of card insertion.

Grabber card: AverMedia GC575 -

 2. GPU: NVIDIA T400 4GB GDDR6 

Hi,

@ejn63

I need to know whether Graphics cards and Video Capture Cards with A Half height Bracket and PCIe slots are compatible for the above ​Dell Precision 3460 SFF PC.

Kindly response for this Query.

Thanks,

See above.  If you have not purchased the system yet, you are best advised to consider a larger footprint system, which will be much less limited in PCIe card support.

Thanks, it has the 2 x PCIe slots right, then why are you says it less PCIe card support.

It's not that the small chassis has fewer slots -- it's that you cannot use a full size video card, and there are far fewer half cards than full size -- and for higher performance PCIe cards, you need a full height slot.  Larger chassis also allow for high capacity power supplies.

@ejn63​ 

We need further clarity on this to extract some conclusion from our discussion.

Kindly clarify for below requirements:

We have:

(1) Aver Media Video Capture Card with PCIe 3.0 x4 (supports both full and half height brackets)

(Find Product link above).

(2) NVIDIA Graphics Card with PCIe 3.0 x16. (Find Product link above) (supports both full and half height brackets).

(3) Dell Precision SFF 3460 PC having one half-height PCIe x4 and one half-height PCIe x16 slots.

Whether we will be able to use (1) and (2) in (3) or not?

Whether it will be effective?

If we can't use what will be the reason for that?

Kindly Give clarity for the above Queries.

Thanks,

Karthikeyan.
