Should work, if an update for the BIOS of your HP, beginning with an 8xxx version is available. Update before installing the 1050TI.
It won´t need an additional power plug too, so the power supply should work with it as well.
Be sure it will fit in length into your case.

If it really works, after installing the GPU, use DDU uninstaller in windows to remove any old graphics drivers and install the latest nvidia.com driver

If i motherboard 8x can gpu 16x work on it.

 

[helpstar]

If the motherboard´s BIOS version is beginning with the number 8, it should run the PCIe 3.0 x16 card within its One PCIe 2.0 x16 slot

How can i know

 

[sharegamer1946]

It says bios version is AMI 8 .15 and date 2013

Can anyone resolve me if i have 16x slot or not with this motherboard model its 2ADA and if not what i can do if i bought gtx geforce 1050 ti OC 16x slot.

This motherboard -- https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03135925 has a single x16 slot.

My pc is hp from 2013 And not for gaming its can accept 16x slot cuse cpu z wrote the max is 8x.

Cpu : hp pavilion
Motherboard : 2ADA
Ram : 12 gb ram
All i know is this
And my pc is also from 2013
Can you tell me if i have 16x slot or not

Please update post with correct model names so I can see if the GPU is compatible.

From what I can see this looks like an HP OEM system so you would need to find what kind of CPU you have because there could be a major bottleneck from your CPU.

Stick to one thread please.

If the motherboard Kanewolf linked is the same as your motherboard, then it has a PCI-Ex16 expansion slot for a graphics card. Given that it accepts 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen Intel Core I-series processors, I would expect the GTX 1050Ti to work.

Should work then with the BIOS being 8.15

no major bottleneck with this graphics card, just a minor. If it really works. You will have to try it yourself. It´s an 80% chance, that this will work.

 

[sharegamer1946]

When i opened cpu z told me your is 8x slot why he told me that.

 

[sharegamer1946]

My BIOS VERSION AND DATE : AMI 8.15 date / 2013 agian for make sure cuse i will buy it from amazon

 

[helpstar]

Do you mean GPU-Z? The graphics card tool? Do´s it show at PCIe Interface -> PCIe x8 @ x8 or similar?

 

[sharegamer1946]

He told me max sapported is 8x why he told me like that.

 

[sharegamer1946]

No the name of the applicatio is cpu-z

 

[helpstar]

ah ok, like here:

might be a read out failure from CPU-Z. Doesn´t matter much though too. If the 1050 runs in it, it should show x16

That mine can you take a look of it please.

Please be sure thats will work cuse i will buy today it will cost me about 220 $

 

[helpstar]

can you upload it to imgur? Can´t open the google drive file

Like said, 80% chance because of your OEM (HP) board. If this would really not work, you could get a normal H67/H77/B75/Z77 B3 motherboard.

I guess this is your motherboard:
http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/specs-2ada-foxconn/

The 1050ti wouldn't use up 8x PCI 3.0 so 16X on PCI 2.0 is fine most probably with no performance loss at all
just make sure you have a good 300W or higher power supply unit
and the card itself fits inside the case since the 2ada is a micro ATX

Its will work ? but when i open cpu-z told my max sapported is 8x why i dont know?

even running pci 2.0 8x still wouldnt affect the performance

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Impact-of-PCI-E-Speed-on-Gaming-Performance-518/#Conclusion

Our testing has pretty clearly shown that for gaming using either PCI-E 2.0 or PCI-E 3.0 will give you nearly identical performance. Oddly, in some benchmarks PCI-E 2.0 was actually faster than PCI-E 3.0. At the same time, x16 was not consistantly faster than x8. Again, x8 was actually faster than x16 in many cases.

wow!
im out

I won't warn you again. DO NOT create any additional threads on this matter.

https://imgur.com/gallery/FXZ7aFt Ok here is my motherboard.

 

[sharegamer1946]

So i can get 16x and it works in 8x motherboard?

 

[sharegamer1946]

And thats my onther photo from my GPU-Z link : https://imgur.com/gallery/C2FXK3H

 

[Wolfshadw]

You're worrying about the wrong thing. Just because CPU-Z states, "Max x8", does NOT mean you cannot install a PCI-Ex16 graphics card into the slot. It just means the bandwidth is limited to x8 (from x16) which is a non-issue with the lower-end graphics card.

As Helpstar and I have already stated, the main issue is the BIOS which has been updated. NO ONE can say any better than Helpstar did when s/he said "80%" probability it will work.
