Hello,
I have an HP Slim Desktop 290-p0xxx (HP Slimline) and I want to upgrade from the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 to a dedicated gaming GPU.
My current specs:
Intel Core i3-8100 @ 3.60 GHz
8 GB RAM
1 TB HDD
Intel UHD Graphics 630 (integrated)
Since this is a slim desktop, I’m not sure which low-profile GPUs will be compatible with the motherboard, case size, and stock power supply.
Could someone suggest compatible GPU upgrade options for this system?
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @ASM26,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out!
I Understand your concern about upgrading the GPU, please note you have to be cautious since HP Slimline desktops like the 290-p0xxx have limited space and power, so only certain low-profile, low-power GPUs will fit and run reliably. The most commonly compatible upgrades are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 and GTX 1650 low-profile versions, but you’ll likely need to check your power supply capacity before installing.
If you’re unsure, an authorised HP service center can confirm compatibility and install safely .
To ensure your device receives the appropriate care, we recommend visiting an authorized HP service center. Our certified technicians can provide a thorough diagnosis and offer the best solutions to address the issue.
