Taking out nvidia 540m and put it in a dell Optiplex 755

[spirit32]

Hi,

I would like to know if It's possible to take an nvidia 540m out of the heart of an old Aspire 4750 and stuff it in an Optiplex 755 (small form factor)?
Thank you in advance

No because laptop GPUs are smoldered on, therefore you can't even remove it.

So is there a low profile card that I can stuff in my Optiplex 755? Anything would be better than the integrated graphics, I assume, which is already running league of legends.
Thanks

PCI Express x16 slot can support either a PCI
Express graphics card or a DVI graphics card
(for dual-monitor support)

DC power supply: 275 W
the problem you might have is your power supply as might not have enough wattage. I use the radeon hd6450 with 1gig of ram on it & it comes with both full height & have height brackets. also has 3 video outputs: agp, dvi & hdmi. specs for that card says 400 watts or higher for power supply.

What is your budget for the GPU? There is a 6670 http/www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-HD6670-PCI-Express-HD667XZHF3/dp/B004Z5GRW6

Or the 6450 HD http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102933

PCI Express x16 slot can support ONLY a PCI Express graphics card

DVI is an output, not a type of graphics card.

that is what was in the manual from that link I posted.
