Product: P0D14UT#ABA
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I would like to know the best graphic card I could put into my PC.

 

 

Product number : P0D14UT#ABA

 

Model : Hp ProDesk 400 G2.5 SFF

 

OS : Windows 10 Pro

 

Memory : 8GBS DDR3

 

Processor : i5 4590S 3.00GHZ

 

From  this documentation, it says that this PC supports a NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 2GB PCIe x8 Graphics Card.

I would like to know if this information is valid or not.

Would a graphic card from the same category but 4GBS would be too much?

 

Thank you ! 🙂

The HP video card is a good choice for a SFF PC.

The problem you will face with PCIe video cards that have more memory (>1GB VRAM) is that they will draw too much current for the motherboard and installed 180W PSU. YOur PC probably won't boot to Windows successfully.  SFF PCs are not good upgrade candidate PCs.
