GPU HARDWARE

Could someone give a link to supported Graphic cards for the HP Z200 SFF Workstation. Thank you.

Hi Gamers-inc,

Here is a link I found for the HP Z200 quickspecs. It should detail all supported hardware. I'm not sure if this is the latest version so you may want to check Google. Just type in 'HP Z200 quickspecs'

Sorry, here is the correct link for the HP Z200 SFF quickspecs.

It depends on the configuration of your workstation.  See the following document. The graphics section lists options.

@erico could the computer handle this: SDRAM PCI Express 2.0X16 Graphics Card For Workstation ?

Or would this be better (I would be yusing this pc for gaming) PNY VCQ600-PB Nvidia Quadro 600 1GB 2560x1600 PCIe DDR3 Low Profile Workstation Video Card

I would say that if you are using your machine for gaming then go for a low profile GTX card along the lines of this;

Just search for 'Low profile GTX' in google and have a browse. You can even get a low profile GTX 1050Ti !!!

Quadro cards are primarily used for CAD, 3D rendering and computational work and not ideally suited for gaming. In short, select a Quadro card if you need better OpenGL performance (CAD, etc) and select a GTX card for best DirectX performance (gaming).

Just make sure whichever card you go for does not exceed your computers power supply. You should be able to determine this from the quickspecs link I sent. If you can't find the specific maximum GPU power rating then just google the example cards in the quickspecs document and look at the card specifications. Look for the maximum (highest) power rating of GPU then  select a GTX card with the same maximum power requirements or lower.

Update: Just had a quick look and the max. power requirements for the cards in the quickspecs is 43W, however, by design the PCI slot should be able to deliver up to 75W by itself. i.e. the GTX1030 card link above is a 30W card but the GTX1050Ti card is 75W.
