Can HP 84FD Motherboard Handle Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 16gb?

[rexanguis]

Hello

I have the HP Omen Obelisk Model 875-0xxx with the 84FD motherboard and I am looking for a well-needed upgraded to my GPU. Currently running a GTX 1060 3gb from when I first got my PC in 2018.  I am looking to upgrade to a 5060 Ti 16gb. I have read reviews that the new Nvidia RTX 50 series have had problems with older motherboards.

Would the 84FD motherboard be able to handle a 5060 Ti 16gb?

@rexanguis,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

I don't see why not: your PC can handle all Intel Core 8th and 9th gen processors -including performance "K" processors, all the way up to an i9-9900K/F.

Meaning, this means your motherboard is sufficiently advanced to be compatible with any known graphics cards.

Consider this User who fitted an RTX 4070 Ti: HP OMEN by HP Obelisk Desktop 875-0xxx Performance Results - UserBenchmark, and you can see how well the User's 9th gen processor runs with this GPU.  If prior experience is any guide, you should be totally fine with any RTX 50XX card.

Kind Regards,

@rexanguis,

I would like to mention though, that sometimes semi-retired systems like yours are (now) known to be unstable or glitzy with RTX 50xx graphics cards.  That is definitely not Nvidia's or the RTX 50XX series fault, it is due to outdated BIOS -HP really needs to issue BIOS updates in order to deal with these new cards.

Whether that will happen is anyone's guess.

Warm Regards,
