[SOLVED] Is RTX 2060 compatible with HP Z420 Workstation

[Hesham Emad]

Hi guys,

I'm thinking to buy HP Workstation Z420

CPU : Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2 @ 3.50GHz

Ram : 16GB

GPU : MSI RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6


What I need to know Is

1- The GPU will be suitable for this Workstation

I'm I gonn face any bottleneck with the compounds of the Workstation

2- the power supply of the Z420 is good enough or I'm going to need to replace it

3- is there enough space for the GPU

I'm gonna use the Workstation mainly for games

1. It should work so long as you are using UEFI booting as most modern GPUs only support that.

2. Yes but the PSU only has 6 pin PCIe connections which means you will need a new PSU since that GPU requires a 8 pin PCIe connection

3. Nothing I can find to tell me how much length you have so I cannot say for sure yes. I know the machine has quite a bit of room but no idea if its enough.

Hi Jiimmy,
Just one more question if you don't mind. Is the PC will be efficient for games?

I mean define "efficient". Some people are fine so long as they hit 30FPS. The CPU isn't really geared towards gaming but does have more than 4 cores so it will be OK in that respect but it wont clock as high as most consumer chips.
