Will this card (Nvidia T600) fit inside Dell Optiplex 7040 SFF?

I'm in the process of gathering the hardware to run BlueIris + DeepStack. I'm wondering whether an nVidia (Is it Quadro?) T600 would fit inside a Dell Optiplex 7040? I have never dealt with an SFF before, so not sure what type of card it could take (low profile? Standard? how long can the card be?)

That looks lie a full height card to me, so a square peg in a round hole.
Thanks for the info. I'm unfamiliar with SFF. Could you post a link / photos to cards that could physically fit into the optiplex 7040? What are the dimensions?

Another option is T400 or P400?

This is a picture of a T400, the listing description says "Low Profile (Bracket Included)"

It seems to me that they're about the same dimensions.





This is a picture of a P400: It seems to have a much higher bracket, which tells me that the T600 and T400 above indeed come with a low profile bracket. Why would they not fit into the Optiplex 7040?

The Optiplex 7040 SFF takes low profile cards and it has one PCIe 3.0 16x slot (the other is 4x). That Nvidia Quadro T600 pictured has a low profile bracket on it with 4 mini-DisplayPort connectors, so there’s no reason why it shouldn’t physically fit in your SFF machine.

The only other thing you need to look at when getting a graphics card for one of these is how much power does it require and can the power supply installed in the machine deliver what is needed.

Looking at the T600 again, it seems that it needs a maximum of 40W, delivered through the PCIe 3.0 16x slot, so even if you have the 180W Dell SFF PSU it may be adequate.
