Hi:

I have the DDR5 memory in my GT 1030 installed in an 8200 Elite CMT

The one with the DDR4 memory should work fine, but it is not as good as the one with the faster memory according to the reviews.

The cards have gotten very expensive from what I paid for them 2 - 3 years ago.

This is the model with the GDDR4 memory...

This is the model with the GDDR5 memory, and it costs considerably more...

You're very welcome.

Depending on your budget, a low profile GTX 1050 Ti 4GB would provide much better graphics than a GT 1030.

I'm not the first to point that out with regard to a HP Elite 8200 SFF, see link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Which-video-card-work-for-HP-el...

Hi,
Thanks for response.

A GTX 1050 TI is too expensive now.
I buyed a GT 1030 DDR5, and I installed on PC.
Its working now. I didnt need upgrade bios.
