[SOLVED] gt 1030 or igpu for i7 2600 in hp 8300

[Nephern]

I own an hp 8300 originally meant as a first pc and i recently got a new pc. ill be putting windows xp in the hp 8300 instead of windows 10 pro, should i use a gt 1030 and another important question, will this even work?

Specs: hp 8300 elite
Mobo: hp 8300 elite
Cpu: intel i7-2600
Ram: 16gb unbranded (not sure about speed)
storage: 1tb hdd 2009
gpu: igpu (hd graphics)/ gt 1030 2gb
OS: none (moved to other pc but was previously windows 10 pro)

GT 1030 would not work. Nvidia 10 series gpu are not supported in XP.

gpu from the 700 series would work though.

could i use the igpu that comes with the i7-2600?

one way to find is to try it yourself if it would work. The 2600K does have integrated graphics, but I'm not sure if Windows XP would work with your mobo.

its just a 2600, not a 2600k

Yes, you can use the iGPU of i7-2600, it has HD Graphics 2000.

When you find a good driver for it, can you please send a screenshot with GPU-Z?
