Hello,

I am interested in upgrading the graphics card in my Zbook G5 17 and I was wondering if the RTX series cards for the G6 although not officially supported by HP can be substituted for the P series cards as the connection pins appear to be identical.

Hello

If I were you I wouldn't do such operation because:

  • BIOS will not recognize the RTX card if it's not supported by HP on Zbook 17 G5
  • that RTX card could produce more heat and the zbook 17 G5 may not cool as it should and power-off

it would be better to try to sell your Zbook 17 G5 and bye a Zbook 17 G6.

 

bye
