Hello! I've been recently looking into getting a new graphics card and I found the GTX 1050 TI. I've been trying to look into whether or not it's compatible with my PC but I got very confused so I decided to ask here. I don't know whether or not this info is needed but my processor is the Intel Core i7-9700K.

@batvfx , welcome to the Community.
Here are the Product Specifications for your workstation. If you look at the section titled "Graphics" there are lists of compatible video cards. Based on these lists, I can't tell you that the 1050 TI is compatible.

Dear @batvfx,
According to various real-life User benchmarks, I can tell you that the Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti IS compatible with your HP Z2 Tower G4 Workstation, such as here: HP Z2 Tower G4 Workstation Performance Results - UserBenchmark and here: HP Z2 Tower G4 Workstation Performance Results - UserBenchmark.
[EDITED:] My question is more: why this lower scoring graphics card: having an average bench score of just 31% according to UserBenchMark (UserBenchmark: Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti)? Perhaps you want to look into a GTX 1060 6GB which has a 57.3% average bench score, as seen here: HP Z2 Tower G4 Workstation Performance Results - UserBenchmark or the GTX 1070-Ti which has a very respectable average bench score of 97.5%. See this User: HP Z2 Tower G4 Workstation Performance Results - UserBenchmark or the GTX 1080-Ti with a whopping average bench score of 136%, like here: HP Z2 Tower G4 Workstation Performance Results - UserBenchmark.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
