I have a Dell Optiplex 7070 i7 that I would like to add a GPU to but I don't know much about them. The Optiplex has a 260w power supply so I believe I'm limited to what GPU I can use and I think 75w is the limit. Looking to see if anyone else has been down this road with an Optiplex and what GPU you used.

The main question is why do you want to add a GPU?
Unless you have a bunch of dumb cameras without AI and you want to run CodeProject on a lot of cameras, a GPU is a waste or resources.
With the substreams, it really eliminated the need for a GPU.

OK, the next question is how many cameras do you really need the CodeProject on for Alert purposes?
If you scour this forum. you will see most of the issues people have with CodeProject is the GPU version. The CPU version seems to be pretty stable.
Have you tried CodeProject yet and if so, what are your return times? If they are under 3000ms and if the CPU isn't maxing out, then maybe you don't need the GPU.
I ended up taking mine out and selling it. Wasn't worth the hassle and effort.

My times are under 3 seconds and I'm not maxing out my CPU. I plan to do more with the machine such as face recognition and maybe even license plate recognition.

My 7070 is an MT, thanks for posting the specs. I spent a couple of hours reading last night and it looks like I can install a 1650 GPU as the biggest or largest, it only requires 75w max as well. Was hoping someone with a similar build would jump in.

I have a 1060 GPU on code project and I'm running it on about 6-7 cameras with a dell Precision 3630.
I was running it on an optiplex 9020. but it had a dell precision power supply that had the 6 or 8 prong plug for the motherboard.

if you find a dell power supply for the equivalent era Precision or maybe XPS it may/should have a beefier PSU

Thank you Flintstone61 for all of the info, I appreciate it. I didn't realize I could upgrade the PSU as well, this could give me more options.

If you go with the GPU go with one with as much memory as you can afford. And then don't let stuff update. We see posts here all the time where someone's CodeProject stopped working at is was because the GPU updated CUUDA or something and it wasn't compatible with their GPU and CodeProject.
My GT1030 just didn't cut it. I am getting faster response times with the CPU version.
While I run the plates, I was hoping I could then eliminate the paid OpenALPR, but the CodeProject version just isn't as accurate. It is improving, but don't expect it to be the savior.
Same with facial recognition. We see lots of posts where it either doesn't work or isn't very accurate. So unless you are just looking to increase your time with this hobby LOL, don't count on it being very successful.
Most of us have found that facial identification is more gimmicky and novelty than anything else. If you have to put in 5 or 10 or 15 or 35 pictures or more of yourself in the system for it to recognize it is you...then you shouldn't expect much.... My success rate was under 5% so I moved on to other hobbies LOL. YMMV.
It can work in certain situations like a business that requires everyone to stop in front of the camera and the camera is at head height. Outside of that, the percentage of being accurate is probably not going to be super high. You will get a lot of false "confirmations" doing a search.
Someone here posted once how horrible it was inside his house identifying his neighbors and others as him. Another guy his kids and wife were being tagged as him inside the house.
Unless you spend the big bucks that casinos and airports have LOL.
As always YMMV and some here use it and say it is acceptable for their use case.
Heck even in ideal situations like a business with the camera at ideal height and optimal lighting it fails...
