@Aluvial,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

It appears that your HP EliteDesk 705 G2 Microtower is fitted with a 280-watt power supply -please verify: open up your case and look at the power supply's label.

An RX 560 4GB has a 75-watt TDP, and requires a 250-watt minimum power supply, which you got: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-560.c2940.

Please note: some RX 560 models require a 6-pin or even an 8-pin PCIe power cable, I would advise against that: choose an RX 560 model that does not require any PCIe power cable, such as this model: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/msi-rx-560-aero-itx-oc-4-gb.b7602.

Kind Regards,

@Aluvial,

Other (better!) graphics card options to consider for your PC:

GTX 1050

GTX 1630

GTX 1050 Ti

RX 6400

GTX 1650

Same recommendation: choose a model that does not require a PCIe power cable.

Kind Regards,
