Dell Community member replied –
“You will need a higher-capacity power supply for a video card in that class. Most of these require direct connection to the power supply that your OEM PS does not have.
The 970 is a high end card even now – and while what was said of the 10×0 cards is true, beware one thing: these current-generation cards (along with their AMD counterparts) require UEFI support. Your system does have UEFI support but if it’s currently running in legacy (BIOS) mode, you will need to change that AND do a ground-up reinstall of Windows (UEFI requires a GPT-format drive, which in turn requires a reinstall from BIOS-MBR mode).”
How to do Dell OptiPlex 7010 16GB memory upgrade?
Dell Community member responded
I have verified the system specifications and found that the maximum memory that this computer supports is 16GB.
BIOS would recognize the memory cards installed in all the memory slots. But Operating system will only recognize 16GB and will not recognize the additional memory that is installed on the computer because of the architecture of the chipset.
The Intel Q77 chipset can support up to 32GB RAM. Windows Professional and Ultimate can support up to 128GB RAM. The owners manual for the 7010 says it can support up to 32GB of RAM (page 55). The Intel Q77 motherboards with four RAM slots all support 32GB, including the DQ77MK, which seems to be the motherboard the 7010 is at least based upon.
At the very least, some of Dell’s documentation seems to be in error
