Question

I need advice on a low-profile video card for a Dell 7010 i7 computer for Adobe Premiere Pro 2017

I need a low-profile video card for a Dell 7010 i7 computer.  I know that it is not a great computer to use, but it is all I have.  Does anyone know what boards I can use with Adobe Premiere Pro 2017.   I'm not making movies, just 30-second videos.  Time rendering is not a problem for me.  I would like to find something around $200 (even a used card).  I found a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4gb Video card for $163 on NewEgg.  Would that work, or is there something better for the money? I have 16gb worth of ram on the computer and it is an i7 processor.  Any help would really be appreciated.  I'm on a very tight budget.  I may be able to go a little extra, maybe $250-300.  But it needs to be a low-profile board that will fit the computer.  Thanks so much for any help.  I'm new to this.

      Hello

      This is my first post on the forum. To continue discusion on this topic I would like to ask a similar question but about Premiere 2019. I have a i7-3770 based optiplex 7010, 16GB of DDR3 Ram, 512GB Intel SSD and a stock PSU for it. Is Adobe premiere still compatible with gtx 1050 Ti? I guess I'll have to  also upgrade the PSU, because the stock one can output about 300W max power. Premiere works now on a this PC as is but on high effect video projects the CPU is beeing used up to 100%.

      in conclusion there are 3 things to consider:

      Power consuption of the GPU,

      physical dimensions of the GPU,

      compatibility with premiere 2019

      I have the same question as the above user.   I would like to use the low profile card in a Dell 7010 but it appears the GTX 1050 is not on the current list of recommended graphics cards.

       

      Is anyone using it successfully with the latest Premiere Pro?

       

      Thanks,

      Dean

      If it has at least 2 GB VRAM, it should work if your power supply can handle it:

      Keep in mind that your system is not very powerful for Premiere Pro CC and proxies will likely be necessary.

      That GTX 1050 Ti is about the best GPU you can currently get on a low-profile card. Any higher-performance GPUs are sold only as full-height cards at this present time.

      Besides, your Optiplex 7010 dates back to the Ivy Bridge generation of 2012. As such, the i7 should be an i7-3770 (non-K) in that PC.  Put the two together, and you'd end up with a fairly well balanced configuration in terms of the CPU / GPU balance.

      And don't waste your money on a GPU that's higher-end than your planned GTX 1050 Ti for a quad-core Ivy Bridge CPU: The CPU might not be able to match the overkill GPU in terms of GPU-accelerated rendering performance.
