Hello i have a hp pavilion elite 9370 i was wondering if the computer can run with a geforce gtx 295 and someone know a guide how to change a graphic card?

Hi,

The Nvidia geforce gtx 295 is a double slot graphics card. It is unlikely that it will fit as the passive Northbridge cooler and a pair of capacitors on your motherboard are physically too close to the PCI-e x16 slot.   Install a single slot card instead and you won't run into that problem.

your motherboard

Finding an install video is simple. Just search for it on youtube.com.

erico

Viggo, I agree with erico.  Also, the PSU in your computer is only 300W.  The GTX 295 requires a minimum of 650W; more if you want to use SLI.

Here is a link to a video on installing a PCIE X16 video card:
