Hi everyone, I'm planning to figure this out later but will check here as well. I have a Dell OptiPlex 7010 SFF and want to add two GPUs (a Quadro K620 and a Tesla P4). The motherboard has two PCIe slots: one full X16 3.0 and another x16 wired in X4 2.0. The 3.0 provides 75W, the 2.0 25W. The Quadro K620 uses up to 30W max, but I won't push it to full capacity. Can it work with the 25W slot?

This machine uses a Quadro processor. It might struggle with modern graphics cards due to its low power consumption rating, but it could handle more capable ones better. The CPU draws around 45 watts, which is higher than expected, and running it on a 25-watt supply would be challenging.

The IGPG isn't superior to the quadro since it's a third-generation i5. For the quadro, it can handle only basic tasks such as browsing and video playback, and I haven't observed it exceeding 10 W during those activities.

I tested it and it functions properly, no issues with the 240w PSU overheating.
