Hey guys so I was wondering, can I put a NVIDIA GT 720 GDDR3 2GB GPU in my prebuilt HP Pavilion 550-081na?
Here are the specs:
CPU: AMD A8-7600 APU
GPU: Integrated into APU
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
Motherboard: MSI-HP Orchid2-S
PSU: Internal 180W PSU
 
Solution
It can, I just don't know why you would. What you have integrated is better.
You're better off getting an R7-240 or 250 and running in dual graphics mode.

That will work, but you'll have to clean reinstall all the drivers. AMD has no protection against running another GPUs on the same system, but nVidia does, thus the driver won't start if it detects an AMD display driver, while it has nothing against a CPU driver.
