[SOLVED] Can you please recommend an inexpensive GPU for my HP Slim Desktop S01 pF-1036 that has HDMI 2.0 and HDR

Hi:

I am trying to equip my HP Slim Desktop with HDR. My monitor has the necessary specs (HDR10), and I verified its capability by connecting a standalone, Panasonic 4k UHD player (with HDR) to it. It has the following expansion slots:

2 M.2; 1 PCIe x16; 1 PCIe x1

Interestingly enough, the next model up (and almost identical specs to mine), the HP Slim Desktop S01 -1048xt has a motherboard that enables HDR. I'd rather not sell my desktop to get the "1048".

Thank you for stopping by.

Yes, I saw the mini display ports. It was only $12 for a 4K HDR spec cable (unidirectional, mini display port to HDMI). I just need one for now. When/if I get a UHD TV (I'm using a UHD HDR monitor) , I'll connect my standalone, 4K UHD HDR player to it.

Incidentally, there is no mention (unless I missed it?) that this unit supports HDR.

GTX 1050 mini ti

All nvidia cards from 900 series + support HDR. So whether there's any mention in an advert or not, it's there, native.

I got this (new, $150) on Sunday from Federal Express ground service. It made a 3,000+ mile trip (CA to CT) in 4 days. That's very impressive to me.

It, the PNY NVIDIA VCNT T400 fits snugly, though there is sufficient room for it and the fan to breathe. Unlike my standalone 4K HDR UHD player, it requires some fine tuning (i.e. brightness).

Thanks to all who took time out to help.
