Product: Pavilion p7-1254
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I’m looking to get a graphics card for my Pavilion p7-1254.


Running Windows 10 (64bit), AAHD2-HY (Holly) motherboard, BIOS Version/Date: AMI 7.15, 12/16/2011, with AMD Quad-core A6-3620 processor with 8GB installed memory. Currently using Radeon HD 6530D integrated graphics.

 

I'm assuming it needs to be a legacy card.  Any suggestions?

Correct. A video card that supports legacy BIOS is what you need.

 

 

What will you be doing with the new video card? 

 

Are you looking for something with more power and have a budget set for it?

 

If you are looking for something with more power then you will also need to upgrade the PSU to a unit that has 400 or more Watts and PCIe power connectors for the video card.
