Upgrading Optiplex 7010 Amazing Performance

[@RandomRelapse]

I built the exact same setup for my living room and added a 7.1 surrounded sound card, great as a HTPC, also recommending to everyone

[@TUOMASSaastamoinen-yy8wf]

How much fps do you get in like fortnite wery low settings

[@bryans8656]

I did the same upgrades on my SFF 7010 that I picked up a year ago, except for the GPU. I installed an RTX A2000 so that I could play the games in my Steam library. It's a 70w card and it draws its power from the 75w PCIE rail.

[@problematic3255]

i like the way you build. i7 3770 16gb dual channel rx 6400. a man of the people.

[@problematic3255]

I have one of these with an i5 4690 16gb dual channel and a gtx 1650, it's perfect as a placeholder while I build other computers

[@archangelmusic13]

@@problematic3255 i have an i5 with 16gb of ram and my pc can't even handle the games on a dolphin emulator. you think installing a graphics card would make a difference?or do i need to upgrade to an i7?

[@catostrandpedersen]

Thanks for the video, have mostly the same specs as you, before upgraded, maybe I can get some ideas to what I can do with this PC, Thanks again, Mr. :)

[@jaydeebow6431]

RX 6400 look's perfect for my Optiplex 790 i have 16gb ram and the og i72600 but i only have the rx 550 4gb gpu so this card looks much better than what my gpu can do.

Good content! Keep up the good work 👍

Thank you!

[@archangelmusic13]

@@basicdadtech did you have to turn off secure boot in the bios menu before installing the gpu? i had heard you have to do that.

[@Phoenix_Enterprises]

I just picked up a "kit" lolz for $30 the grandson and I gonna have a blast tinkering with this setup. I'm mostly an AMD fan but, for $30 and a couple of upgrades can't miss on this for a lower/mid gamer toy on a budget. Thanks for sharing

[@xnrg1968]

Gracias For the Content. You have 4 ram slots; you could add the 2x4gb kit for a total of 24gb, test a before and after to see what uplift can be gained; may not be in FPS but 1% lows could increase also machine can multi-task more; such as game and capture at same time - OBS - as no capture on rx6400; peace

[@basicdadtech]

Good point. Not sure why I didn’t think of that.

[@xnrg1968]

@@basicdadtech Gracias for the reply; There are people who think mixed kits of ram can not be used, only thing to think about is system will default to lower ram speed of kit, best to get same MHZ or faster kit if buying used and getting a good deal, I am looking forward to your next video, gracias for the content; peace

LOL. Thank you.

[@googlefuuplayad9055]

😊👍👍 nice made

[@Franklyn-p5d]

Does the cpu not massively bottleneck the gpu? Why go so overkill ? Cant use gpu, better option 1050 or 1650. More suited to specs. Im sure you'd see smoothrr results

[@forty2retro]

Great video! I’ve got almost the same setup but with a 4770. I’ve got it running Batocera and it can play “snitch”games decently. I’ve been thinking about showing it off in a video .

Great video! did your amd application show the tuning option? i have this gpu but unfortunately tuning in the performance isn't available, im using optiplex i7 4th gen 16gb ram.

[@DBDRFzero]

Would you say that the 1650 is better due to the performance or the 6400 due to it's updates and possible fsr 3 upgrade?

[@jrocket93]

Have u figur3d it out my boy I herd that swift slows down due to it being a 4th Gen and 5he 7010 uses third gen gpus so might wanna look into that

[@PixelPainta]

Thanks for the info ! Does the 7010 have gen 3 pci slot ?

[@ItsZoro89]

sir i have the same pc and i want to upgrade my processor plz now can you tell me which socket is in my optplex 7010 and i want to know that every pc have the same socket in pc optiplex 7010? please replay

[@peterlarkin762]

LGA1155. The i5 3570 and i7 3770 are the best the 7010 can take.

[@rad7382]

Still running good? Noticed the gpu says it requires atleast 300w and the 7010 sff is only 240watt

[@RobertFixit]

I have been curious about that card as well. I have yet to do a SFF build. Question, the street fighter appeared to be a little laggy. Is it my imagination or does the screen capture cause that?

[@problematic3255]

its just the recording software, what would help is if he put a frametime graph up, that tells you the whole picture

[@basicdadtech]

Wasn’t laggy when playing. For some reason I couldn’t get Afterburner to display on Street Fighter.

Hello, I'm considering upgrading my Dell Optiplex 7010 DT, and my budget is only $180. PC Specs: CPU: i5 - 3470 GPU: None RAM: 8GB 1333 MHz Storage: 500 HDD PSU: 250W I was thinking of buying the SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 550 4G OC, but I'm not sure if it will fit into the OptiPlex 7010 DT, and I also don't know if the PSU (250W) would be okay for it. I'm also considering upgrading the RAM from 8GB to 16GB, but an SSD (instead of upgrading RAM) would be useful too; that HDD is really slow. (Also, take into account that I intend to use the PC primarily for older games (and some CS). Perhaps some newer games, but not ones that are too demanding.) What do you think I should do?

[@Cryptic851]

Definitely get a SSD and 16 GB ram if you intend to play older games you could get away with a GTX 1030 as the go for as low as 30 euro.

[@warred]

idk why but i cant display the afterburner overlay with fortnite, any idea ?

[@basicdadtech]

That happens to me occasionally but never had a problem with Fortnite.

[@geowilson1587]

curious what was the mb u upgrade cpu and max ram.mine says max 8gb ram

[@alvaro9413]

can i leave the i5 in it and just upgrade the video card? will i see any upgrade in performance?

[@default1647]

What you think i5 2500k on dell optiplex 7010 ?

[@luckycancan2]

how much did it cost u in total?

[@weefops]

You should of upgrade the power supply, because I don't think it would work without a 500w.

[@archangelmusic13]

did you have to turn off secure boot in the bios menu before installing the gpu? i read you have to disable secure boot or the pc won't boot up after installing a gpu.it says you can't install anything that is offbrand or the pc won't boot up. so you have to disable the secure boot before installing anything that isn't the same brand as the pc.

[@basicdadtech]

Hi. No I didn’t have to change anything in the bios. Just need to install the gpu drivers.
