At this point, if you know anyone who has a graphics card that you can try in your system, do that. Otherwise, the only recommendation we can give is to try it. If it works, great! If not, return the card and get most (if not all) of your money back.-Wolf sends
I was looking to buy it from amazon.in. I was wandering that can i return it back?Anyways how much percent of chances are their that it would work properly that you think?

Yes, it's compatible, but if it's a dual-width card, the top PCI-Ex1 slot will be covered by the cooling shroud of the graphics card and unavailable.-Wolf sends
Edit: Take clutchc's answer into account. Just because a card is physically compatible, does not necessarily mean it will work with all proprietary motherboards (off-the-shelf systems).

See my edit above.I am currently having an ASUS Geforce 210 . I wanted to upgrade my GPU so that i can play directx 11 games at minimum settings. The Geforce 210 is working properly . I have used it for nearly 10 months without any problem.It didn't came with the pc. I bought it last year only. Thats why I am thinking going for a Galaxy Geforce GT 730 DDR5.

It will fit the slot, yes. But I can't guarantee operational success with an HP computer. HP has been know to 'lock' their BIOS so only certain cards can be used. Check around the HP forum to see if anybody has had success.I am currently having an ASUS Geforce 210 . I wanted to upgrade my GPU so that i can play directx 11 games at minimum settings.
