Can I put a new graphic card in my pc with a HP 1998 motherboard?

[disgrace2]

I have a PC with a HP 1998 motherboard I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade the graphic card and if it is what is the best possible? I was thinking of installing a RX 570 or a GTX 1060, are those compatible?

@disgrace2,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

Your HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF (with motherboard SSID: 1998), can be made to fit with any graphics card you like, as long as you provide the wattage it needs.  This would require an ATX power adapter, which looks like this:

This adapter replaces your current power supply with an (externally parked) ATX power supply.  For example, consider what graphics cards these HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF Users were able to make work in their desktops (brace yourself): UserBenchmark: HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF Compatible Components.

Yes, you and I saw that right: an RTX 3090 Ti 24GB (!) -but I digress.  The money, skills and efforts needed to upgrade an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF like this is something else.

To answer your original question: yes, a GTX 1060 6GB is perfectly compatible with your PC: HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF Performance Results - UserBenchmark. However, a GTX 1060 6GB requires at least a 300-watt power supply (HP GTX 1060 OEM Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database), which means that your stock 240-watt power supply is not going to work, and a GTX 1060 also requires one 6-pin PCIe power cable. Another potential issue is that a Small Factor Form (SFF) computer case only allows so-called low-profile graphics cards to fit inside your case.  I am not sure if a low-profile version for a GTX 1060 exists.

Now, you could make a GTX 1060 work by purchasing a 310-watt power supply with HP p/n: 937516-004 which is equipped with one 6+2-pin PCIe power cable:

And you are done.

If the aforementioned is perhaps a bridge too far, consider a GTX 1650 low-profile card.  Your current 240-watt power supply can power it, and this card doesn't need a PCIe power cable.

Anyway, hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,
