Question can it work and fit

[japaxi]

can a rx 550 4 gb work and fit in a Hewlett-Packard 1497 and an 2nd gen i5-2400 3.1 ghz,psu 320w ?

its this one

I found some vague pics of the HP you reference. By and large it will come down to the spec of the card in reference to the space you have to put it. I cannot recall the 550 requiring supplemental power and think with that CPU there should be some overhead with the PSU.

I have had a good bit of experience in putting things like 750ti inside the 4th gen Dell Optiplex DT (half height) models. Quite seldom that it won't work and generally in relation to a "tired" PSU.

Look at the dimension spec of the GPU. If need be, open the PC and measure the available space. The things to consider would be full or half height and whether there is room from the PCI slot to the bottom of the case and/or power supply (whatever is down there in that case/form).

I would not expect any "gaming" performance out of said, but should support better resolution and media consumption with a discrete GPU over integrated.

if i buy a better psu something like 400w,would it work?

Can an Gigabyte GT 1030 work and fit in my specs listed below:
Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 1497
PSU: Some 320 w
Processor: 2nd gen i5-2400 3.1 ghz
So my question is will it fit and will it work?
2nd question is can i play warzone and at what resolution?
The GT 1030 is:

Probably not. HP didn't release bios updates to any of their older systems to support UEFI, so newer cards that require UEFI do not work on these older systems.

 

[japaxi]

ok thanks

You'll run into the same uefi problem as the rx 550 in your other thread.

 

[japaxi]

ah man,any gpu suggestions for my specs that are kinda good?

 

[InvalidError]

Check if your motherboard has a BIOS option to force IGP multi-monitor. If it does, then you can enable that to use the IGP at boot and then you can use whatever GPU you want that is within the PSU's capabilities once the OS takes over.

 

[japaxi]

How can i check that?

How can i check that?

Check whether your BIOS allows you to enable the IGP with a GPU installed? How about going into your BIOS and checking if it has an option to enable the IGP when a GPU is installed?

On a typical retail motherboard from Asus and other companies, that option is most commonly found under the "System Agent" page.

Can anyone tell me a good cheap gpu for "gaming",down are my specs listed:
Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 1497
PSU: Some 320 w, doesnt have any power connectors
Processor: 2nd gen i5-2400 3.1 ghz

I'd probably opt for something like a GT 730 Low-Profile.
Something like this.

Any other suggestions?
Can a GT-1030 fit and work in my pc?

Not sure about the GT 1030. It might require UEFI which I'm not sure your system supports.

[japaxi]

Where do i check if it supports or not?

 

[Wolfshadw]

Boot into BIOS and see if UEFI is an option. However, it's not listed on your motherboard specs, so I doubt it.

Anyone know any good gaming GPU that supports Legacy BIOS, cause i dont have UEFI.
Here are my specs listed below:

Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 1497
PSU: Some 320 w, doesnt have any power connectors
Processor: 2nd gen i5-2400 3.1 ghz

What do you consider a good gaming GPU? Let us know what you expect to play and at what settings,
You need to go back several generations of GPUs to find one that won't require UEFI. Also, without any aux power connectors, you are limited even further.

IMHO, you'll need a new computer to play anything new-ish at decent settings.

I just found 290 dollars PC! Let me know if its good.
Specs:

CPU- Intel Core i3 4130 @ 3.40GHz
RAM- 8.00GB DDR3
GPU- 4 GB Radeon RX 550 DDR5
Memory- 250GB HDD (SATA)

i3-4130 is not an upgrade from an i5-2400. Get yourself a GTX 750 Ti for your current computer. It should work with non-uefi.

Used GTX 750 Ti on eBay -> https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=gtx+750+ti&_sacat=0&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15

I'd skip the ones not from U.S.

 

[japaxi]

You 100% sure 750 Ti would work in my specs?

 

[japaxi]

So im planning on buying MSI 750 Ti 2GB,my question here is can it fit and work in my pc?
My specs below:

Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 1497
PSU: Some 320 w, doesnt have any power connectors
Processor: 2nd gen i5-2400 3.1 ghz
Motherboard doesnt support UEFI, only Legacy BIOS.

Can it run warzone and at what fps?

Photo reference, not gonna buy from this site:

The GTX 750Ti should work with your computer. I just don't know if it will physically fit in your computer. Couldn't help but notice in your motherboard specs that it states a low-profile PCI-Ex16 slot.

[japaxi]

My current GPU is GT 210 1GB, i found some information, MSI GTX 750 Ti is actually smaller so can PCIE 3.0 x16 fit into an Low-Profile PCIE 2.0 x16 slot?

 

[Wolfshadw]

If your computer case is too small, a full sized (height) card will not physically fit in the case. It's perfectly compatible with your PCI-Ex16 slot. PCI Express is an industry standard that has not changed it's physical specification since it's inception.

As I stated, it should work with your computer. I'm just not sure it physically fits in the case.
