About this deal

To upgrade the GPU of OptiPlex 7040 SFF, a low-power, low-profile graphics card must be used. Currently, the most reasonable GPU option is AMD's Radeon RX 6400 low profile. Graphics performance is quite good, thanks to the improved performance of Intel's fourth-generation processor's integrated graphics, Intel HD Graphics 4600. In 3DMark 11, the OptiPlex 9020 scored 2,125 points (Entry settings) and 278 points (Extreme settings). This performance was good enough to top that of the Lenovo Edge 92z, even though the latter was equipped with an AMD Radeon GPU. While you won't be playing demanding games during your off hours, the OptiPlex 9020 does have the chops to handle whatever presentation or Web rendering you task it with. Mini Tower: 8 USB 2.0, 4 USB 3.0 / Small Form Factor: 6 USB 2.0, 4 USB 3.0 / Ultra-Small Form Factor: 2 USB 2.0, 4 USB 3.0 / Micro: 6 USB 3.0

build. The RX 6400 low does not need any additional power from the PSU and can rely solely on the power delivered by the PCIe slot (75W).The Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF comes with ten USB ports in total. Having more USB ports is always better, but also pay attention to the version of those USB ports. Higher version ports support faster transfer speeds. Unfortunately, this model doesn't come with a USB 3.1 port. If you need a faster connection for your peripherals, like external Solid State Drive, you will need to choose another model. Video ports This model has a good price point, delivers decent FPS, and does not require any addtional hardware upgrades. The DisplayPort (DP) is the most widely used digital interface for transmitting digital video and audio between display devices and PCs. It is good to see that the Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF is featuring a DisplayPort 1.2. The post version is important if you target higher resolutions with high refresh rate. Although, ver. 1.2 is completely fine for most users, if possible, aim for the higher versions DisplayPort. The USB dongle is much more convenient and easy to install, but has less space for a decent antenna and can have thermal problems. On the other hand, the PCIe based adapter is much more powerful, more reliable, and has better antenna, but it is harder to install. Windows 7 Pro (32-bits & 64-bits) / Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bits) / Windows 8.1 (64-bits) / Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit)

To cover the needs of your OS, games, and apps, Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF supports up to 32 GB of DIMM DDR3-1600 RAM. For office work, home use, and light gaming we recommend 8GB of RAM. For everything else, use 16GB or more. Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF doesn't come with any on-board Wi-Fi support. In that case, you have two options to upgrade this model with Wi-Fi. You either use an external USB Wi-Fi adapter (wireless network dongle) or a PCIe-based wireless adapter. Line in for microphone / stereo, Line out for headphones / speakers, Realtek ALC3220 High Definition Audio Codec, Realtek ALC3234 High Definition Audio Codec to install aftermarket PSUs to support better GPUs. You can also find that there is space constrains inside the chassis, making it difficult to accommodete larger GPU to boost the gaming performance.Unfortunately, the Dell OptiPlex 9020 SFF has no M.2 PCIe soket and you have to rely on the available SATA ports to connect your drives.
