Hi Ozbargainers,
So I have won myself an Optiplex 9020 SFF desktop on Ebay and now I'm trying to find the fastest video card that can fit into it. I was about to purchase the 1050TI low profile but also found a 1050ti "overclocked" low profile version. Can the OC version fit in the optiplex 9020?? And is it worth the extra $44.80 for the OC version? Or is better to get the Non OC and just overclock it yourself to save $$$$.
Thanks heaps

AFAIK, there is no such price difference ($44.80) between OC and non-OC versions. Check again if both are 1050 "Ti" with 4GB memory, because I also get confused between 1050 and 1050Ti. You can find 1050 "Ti" Low Profile model manufactured by MSI(GTX-1050-Ti-4GT-LP) or Gigabyte(GV-N105TOC-4GL) at around $240 shipped.
For the same 1050Ti with 4GB models, the performance difference would be negligible (1~2 fps?) between non-OC or OC versions. I'd choose a cheaper one if it's made from well-know manufacturer.
