I cant afford much so I went for a Gigabyte Nvidia 730 2G DDR3. Tried two different cards but still not booting from hp blue start up screen, so returned them thinking they were faulty; however, looking further in forums, said some HP computers may not be able to upgrade graphics cards much past onboard spec can anyone help and tell me what I could run? I love this PC and will be gutted if i have to replace it just to be able to upgrade graphics

Hi:
Below is the link to the quickspecs for your PC.
The list of supported video cards can be found on page 4.

Nowadays, another factor when choosing a video card is the age/version of the BIOS in your PC vs the model of the video card.
It's no longer a simple comparison of the power supply draw and PCI express version.
Choosing the newest ones out on the market today will probably not work in a PC more than a year or two old.

You're very welcome.
I have the AMD Radeon HD 6570 in my HP 8200 Elite CMT which has the same processor and chipset family as the 3300 Pro.
I am afraid to venture beyond that because of all these compatibiliy hurdles we have to jump over now when trying to find a compatible graphics card for an older PC.

Sooooo just to update, I tried to order the AMD 6570 (all others on list obsolete) but supplier called to say they only had newer models and I would be better with an HP branded card.
I was wondering if either of these would be compatible with my system (please please please say yes!):
HP B4J92AA Components Video Graphics Card NVIDIA GF GT 630 2GB DP PCIe FH x16
or
HP B1r44AA AMD Radeon HD 7450 1024MB
