I'm looking for a compatible GPU for a PC of this particular model. Wanted to ask for a second opinion before I buy one that was recommended, which was a GT 710. I really would like one with HDMI compatibility.

Mainly using the PC for art and some animation + video stuff, with the occasional multiplayer game on the Xbox Game Pass, to lessen the strain on my laptop.

My current specs:

  • Compaq Presario CQ5300Y
  • Windows 10 (64-bit)
  • 4 GB RAM
  • AMD Phenom x4 9650
  • 240 GB SSD

The GT 710 is probably the most I would go in an old machine like that.

What is your issue with the original recommendation?

Was more or less worried I needed a specific GPU for my PC, since downloading drivers recently for mine is a pain since some modern required drivers aren't compatible with my system hardware. But thank you so much!
