AMD XT 6400 (low profile) For HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF

[DGroves]

the card you ordered will only run at half  it's rated speed on your systems pcie 2.0 bus so it's not worth using on the 8200

if you can afford it a used HP z24 minitower (not the SFF models) will be a much better system for not much money

i recommend a nvidia 1650/1650 super (low profile) which is pci-e 3.0

thanks for the reply. i dont think i will get another computer case (i really like the small form factor of this pc and the fact that it takes very little space but i guess my best option is to get the 1650.. the thing is i wanna buy it localy because shipping from ebay will cost me more then buying it from a shop locally. i have seens 3 options

this asus low profile one which is probably my best option

this PNY card which is the cheapest one and has gddr6 (the manual said that it require 6 pin which is a problem) but i dont see the port on the card and i asked the supplier and they said it is not required.. and im confused because i couldn't find videos or more pictures of this card to confirm that

and the gigabyte card low profile maybe i can get here locally (its the most expensive out of them) but i had bad expririance with the shop (diffrent shop) so i dont know if i want to buy from them again..

@Tamirmp4,

The PNY GTX 1650 card you referenced (PNY GeForce GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 Dual Fan) has a one 6-pin PCIe power supply (somewhat unusual) cable, and I would think if it got one of these power connectors, it would need it for proper operation.

Also keep in mind that your stock power supply unit is only 240-watt (p/n: 613762-001 or 613763-001), whereas PNY recommends a "300 W or greater system power supply".

As suggested by @DGroves, perhaps you should consider upgrading your PC platform: an HP Z240 SFF -which can be purchased for pennies to the dollar, at least in the US, would be a big leap forwards, as it can be fitted with an i7-7700 or i7-7700K.

The shipping price here is triple the price of the pc itself or maybe even more.. i will stick with my little pc. I actually modded it today a bit too

 

, and ok i guess my  only choice is that asus card.. (since the gigabyte is out of stock and the pny is not good for me) i can order it and get it next week.. the thing is the price is expensive but it is what it is i guess.. i have also seen 1650  low profile 2nd hand i might try to ask the guy some quesstions i dont know the brand of the card it is i will attch picture of the card he is selling maybe someone can recognize it

hey i have an update, i ended up buying that asus oc low profile card gtx 1650 and installed it today.. i didnt have much time to test gaming on, i just opend fortnite for 2 mins just to see if it works.. it did work. my game was running good but every few sec it was freezing/ frame skipping for one sec on the lowest settings it i need to keep testing i suspect maybe the cpu is like bottlenecking the game or maybe its because i didnt use that DDU tool that uninstall the old driver but i have seen that if you are upgrading the gpu from lets say gt610 (like had) to gtx 1650 (like i did now) it is ok to not use DDU its just from nvidia to amd or from amd to nvidia i did use nvidia driver to make a clean install so it probably removed the old driver it might just be the cpu or maybe the pci express gen 2 im not sure maybe someone can tell me..

also another update i upgraded my pc completly.. i installed usb 3 pcie card that gtx 1650 gpu 24 gb of 1600 ram (8+4+8+4 kingston 8 + samsung 4 + kingston 8 + samsung 4) it runs on 1333 but its ok its what the pc can support i know.. i added 2 8tb wd gold drives (windows disk manager) raid 1 and i have 500gb samsung evo 870 ssd as main boot drive and crucial mx500 2tb installed. i even added extra fan on the side because i dont have space to put it near the hard drives..

now the only thing im interested of doing is raid 0 boot (if its possible) i was trying to do it 1st when i've got this pc i belive i came close i made it to get reccognized by windows installer after setting the raid in the bios (2 samsung evo ssds with 500 gb each i made them to apear as 1 tb) when the drives appeard as one i selected it to install windows on it the installer finished the pc tried to boot and i've got black screen with under line ( _ ) anyone knows what did i do wrong?
