That might be pushing the psu

There are many different models of the Dell Optiplex 3010, which one do you have exactly? What are the system specs and what form factor is it?

To answer the form factor question, which one of these 3 do you have?

Yeah, a 1050 ti is probably out of the question since the PSU most likely lacks a 6/8pin.

A 1050 is the highest OP can go without replacing the PSU.

The vast majority of 1050 ti s Don't need a power connector

O yeah, crap. I always keep forgetting that.

When I google to fact check the first thing that pops up is the MSI Gaming X which has a 6pin. :P

Low Profile 1050 might work then.

I personally would also like to try this right now, because I don't have a graphics card right now. The GT 1030 seems to be a fit budget graphics card for an optiplex 3010.

A low profile 1050 would be better

as long as its a mid tower not the slim/sff model it can take a full height gpu
sff/slim will need a low profile gpu
