GPU for Dell Optiplex 9010 (Low End Not for Gaming)

Hi

Picked up this today with the 10% off deal:

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DELL-FAST-OPTIPLEX-9010-INTEL-CO…

Not the best deal going around but not to bad, I am wanting to connect it to a HDMI 27inch monitor and am using the pc for basic office stuff as well as running a network panel for a game, basically the game panel is on the screen and just the buttons change so not that intense I imagine on graphics.

I have read alot about what card will work as this is SFF, but most cards that are recommended are an overkill for what I need, any suggestions on a card that would give me better graphics than the onboard graphics or should I not worry and just get a display port to HDMI adaptor?

A little kick to render the panel would be good

Cheers

    If it's just a static rendering of a control panel and framerates are not an issue, I think Intel HD graphics should do it, if not look into a used low profile GT750 or a brand new GT1030.

    what res is your 27" ?

    would be good to spare the 4gb ram from shared Vram and offload them onto discrete GC mem, unless you've more rams.

    Might be able to squeeze in a low profile GTX 1050 TI

    Maybe I should have went the upgraded version lol being a tight ass as usual.

    The monitor is 1920x1080 (Harvey Norman speciala month ago)

    Don’t need anything to crazy as don’t want to invest to much in it

    This is for your touchscreen/panel setup, I assume?

    Stick with integrated graphics to start with. It'll handle two 1080p screens with Youtube just fine, so certainly not a problem with basic displays and touch panel inputs. Dual-screen Chrome windows is absolutely fine. If you are struggling with display issues etc, then you can always upgrade later.

    I've got a 1050Ti in mine, which handles all games at 1080p 60fps without a problem. But that's an additional $150 you probably don't need to spend just yet.

    I'm rather interested in your setup now! I'd love to see how you've got everything laid out!
