Thank you for the additional information, @TekSpek!

 

Here is a small, but powerful video card, that should fit nicely.  The only problem is, it requires a power supply unit (PSU) with a minimum of 400W.  I recommend at least 500W to allow for more power for peak needs.  This will have to be done for any of the newer cards.  Read the "Specifications" tab and the "Reviews" to see what users are saying about it.  As you can see, it is rated 5 Eggs by 243 users.  I have recommended it to many members without any negative feedback.

@TekSpek, welcome to the forum.

 

What is the full model or product number of the computer?  You can find this information by opening HP Support Assistant.  Please don't furnish the Serial Number or other personal information.

 

Also, it would help if you could furnish a link to the video card.
