Hi,

I am an owner of a HPE-521it and I wish to upgrade my graphic card.

Actually I have a Sapphire HD 7770, AMD Radeon R7 200 series,1 GB GDDR5 128 bit Memory Bus graphics card PCI Express 3.0 that functions properly, but it is quite slow.

I tried to install these 4 graphic card, but all of them without success:

- Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti WINDFORCE OC 4 G 4 GB of memory GDDR5 128 Bit graphic card PCI Express 3 HDMI/DP/DVI - VIDEO SIGNAL YES, FREEZE ON BIOS SCREEN

- Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 560 Radeon RX 560 4GB GDDR5 - graphics card (AMD, Radeon RX 560, 3840 x 2160 pixels, 1300 MHz, 4 GB, GDDR5) - NO VIDEO SIGNAL AT ALL

- Gigabyte R9 380X graphics card 4GB, Gaming - NO VIDEO SIGNAL AT ALL

- Sapphire VGA Sap Radeon R7 360 graphics card da 2GB, GDDR5 - NO VIDEO SIGNAL AT ALL


I have this power supply: KRAUN, model PE600FCA, max output power: 700W, DC OUTPUT: +5V ==/25A, +3,3V==/22A, +12V1==/16A, +12V2==/16A, -12V==/0,3A, +5V SB==/2,5A

I have this motherboard: PEGATRON CORPORATION - 2AB6 - 1.04 - BIOS VERSION: AMI 7.15 (lastest bios avaiable) with 16GB of memory installed.

Could kindly someone suggest me a fast graphic card that for sure functions properly with my HP ?

Possibly a couple of choices....


Thanks in advance for the attention.

Well the HP Pavilion Elite HPE-521it Desktop PC is a full size PC so that is good, you have a 700w power supply.. that is also good news
according to http://modnews.ru/hard/view/8907 the PSu only supports 1x 6+2 PCIE video cable
this will be your limiting factor.

I am surprised the RX560 did not work on your system, even though the video card is PCIE 3.0 x16 and runs on 400W @ 90w consumption.
I am wondering the following.

when you remove your old video card, did you use DDU to properly remove the video drivers?
When you removed your old video card, did you jump into BIOS to make sure the default video cards did not go back to being in the internal on board video chip ? and you are seeing nothing because the system is trying to...

MERGED QUESTION
Question from 74lobster : "PEGATRON CORPORATION - 2AB6 - 1.04 - BIOS VERSION: AMI 7.15 (lastest bios avaiable) and a fast graphic card"

When you removed your old video card, did you jump into BIOS to make sure the default video cards did not go back to being in the internal on board video chip ? and you are seeing nothing because the system is trying to output the image on that chipset and Is ignoring your additional video card ?
when you put the new video card you have it in the PCIE slot 1 (for video cards not a regular or short one?)

The motherboard has 3 x PCI Express x1, 1 x PCI Express x16 (2.0), 1 x PCI Express x1 minicard socket

I am wondering if it is a combination of motherboard bios being too old and only being a pcie 2.0 slot that is preventing getting something performant on your system (most new video cards will only run if you have a UEFI BIOS not a regular Bios.

I would suggest; GTX 750ti probably best you can do, unless HP has an upgrade on their web site.
