Need help with graphics card

Hubert_8 · Mar 29, 2017

I have a HP I5 with a intel HD graphics Integrated 2 slots for a different graphics card, can i use a different graphics card if i buy one? I want to buy a different one because i hear ANY intel HD Integrated graphics sucks.

Can you please be more specific than Hp I5? A complete make and model would help us offer an appropriate upgrade. You also need to consider the PSU and if it can safely power the upgraded PC. What will you be using this PC for?

That PC only has a 240 W active PFC PSU. It is also a small form factor PC which leaves you with not that many choices. I recommend https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137081 . The issue is that PSU. That card needs a 300W psu. Your PSU isn't good enough. That's where this upgrade hits a snag. The PSU used in there is proprietary. In other words HP made a PSU specifically for that PC(and possibly other models that are the same size). You can't just buy one. Is this https://www.amazon.com/HP-8100-Processor-Professional-Refurbished/dp/B01G49FYGK your PC?

That card only consumes 75W at most. The 750Ti low profile card consumes 60W at most. Yes it's the sum of hardware's power consumption that's the problem. Can you see the PSU? Is it a 240W or a 325W?
