Best Graphic design for 8200 sff

[Questionssss]

Hi,

I have got a question. 

What is the best graphic design upgrade possible?

I see that this was asked before, but that was in 2012 

Product:

HP small form factor 8200

Windows 10 64 bit

thanks!

Hi:

The Radeon HD 6450 was the optional graphics card offered by HP for the 8200 Elite SFF model.

You can also probably install the nVidia GT 710.

I have a GT 730 (64 bit memory interface, not 128 bit) in my 8200 Elite CMT and it works fine, but the CMT has a 320W power supply.

Just make sure whatever card you get, that it is the low profile model and comes with the low profile mounting brackets in the box.

Is a game card possible?

I've got 240W in my pc.

Not possible.

The PCI e x16 slot is only rated to handle up to 25W (though folks have installed more powerful graphics cards than 25W).

The BIOS 2.2x version is too old to go any higher than the nVidia GT 7xx series, or the Radeon HD 7xxx series.

The 240W power supply cannot be upgraded.

If you want to get a low profile GT 730 that may work, but you have to make sure you get the one with the 64 bit memory interface as the max power draw for one of those cards is only 23W or 25W depending on the one you select.

The 128 bit card that draws 49W would be too much for the P/S (and maybe the PCIe x16 slot) to handle.

Is this one good?

Hi:

I don't think so because it says the power consumption is 75 watts.  Too high.

You need a card with a power consumption of 30 Watts or less to be safe.

The nvidia specs state the power consumption for the 64 bit memory interface is 25 watts, so something is not right.

This one here says the power consumption is 49 watts but it is only the 64 bit memory interface.

The nvidia specs state only the 128 bit memory interface models have the 49W power consumption.

So now I am very confused...

You may want to stick with the AMD HD 6450 or the Nvidia GT 710.

[Questionssss]

So this one is good?

But:
System Requirements
Recommended Power Supply: 300W
Power Consumption: 49W

I've got 240W in my pc.
