Question Is there anything I should know before buying a graphics card?

[pcMan1109]

I'd like to buy the PowerColor RX 550 4G GDDR5 LP AXRX 550 4GBD5-HLE and apply it to my Hewlett-Packard 304Bh motherboard. I'd like to know if there is any reason it could not work.(Just to make sure before buying it).

Check if it fits and also it’s not a very powerful card. What are you wanting it for and what are you expecting?

Gtx 1050 on hewlett-packard 304bh

Hello, I was wondering if a gigabyte gtx 1050 would work on my hewlett-packard 304bh motherboard, my pe meets all the requirements but I am afraid that it might not fit.

If your bios is not UEFI that amd card won't work. The last amd cards to work on legacy bios were the R5/7/9 series. On top of that, as said in the posting, many of those low-end pre-built motherboards around that Era had a 25w limit on the pcie slot, not the standard 75w limit, making many higher end gpus not work. That was done purposely because the original pre-built had a very small cheap psu and a 75w pcie would put it over its power limits.

The manual for the particular model that motherboard came in should have all pertinent details as to what will work.
