Is This Card Compatible With My PC?

[djdevin176]

Hello friends, I am just wondering if this card will work in my current PC. I play some pretty low-end games (e.g. RuneScape, Black Squad, Maplestory, etc) and currently I am running off of a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290.

I would like to upgrade to this card below:

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT-710-2GD3H-LP/dp/B01DOFD0G8/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1539739451&sr=1-2&keywords=low%2Bprofile%2Bgpu&refinements=p_36%3A-5000&th=1

I have checked the dimensions and it is smaller in every way compared to the card I have now so I know it will fit, but I have this PC: https://www.amazon.com/HP-Compaq-dc7900-Convertible-Minitower/dp/B005633V0W

I just want to make sure before ordering the card that it will work with my PC. (I also upgraded the RAM to 4GB from 2GB if that matters.)

The main thing I am worried about is the card getting recognized from my BIOS.
The BIOS is currently HP 786G1 V01 16, 3/5/2009.

EDIT: I have a 365W PSU.

And also be sure to check the PSU on your system to ensure that it can power the GPU along with the other existing components.

Use a couple of online power calculators to total up the wattages and compare the load to the existing PSU's capabilities.

Thank you, forgot to mention that. I have a 365W PSU so I believe that should be enough.

To answer your question, you should have no issues swapping cards.
I would highly recommend using Display Driver Uninstaller before the swap; this will ensure that there are no driver conflicts when installing your new GPU / drivers.
Once installed, install the necessary drivers and you should be good to go.

If I could make a suggestion though, I would recommend that you go for a GT 1030. For $10 more (on ebay), you would see a huge boost in performance over the GT 710.

Edit: Your PSU should support this card as well.

Is this the one you are talking about?

There would be no problem in performing that upgrade.
