Gpu upgrade

What is the powerful and fastest I can replace my old gpu

[NonSequitur777 · Accepted solution]

@Kaizerzeno,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

Recommended GPU Pairings for AMD A10-7800:

Best Balanced Choices (No Major Bottleneck, Great Value):

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (GDDR5 or GDDR6)

  • No external power required (some models)

  • Performs well at 1080p medium settings

  • 75-watt TDP – very safe for older systems

  • No need to replace your stock 300-watt power supply

• AMD Radeon RX 6400

  • Low power (53-watt), no external PCIe connector needed

  • Performs slightly better than GTX 1650 in many titles

  • PCIe 4.0 card but works on PCIe 3.0 motherboards (at slightly reduced bandwidth)

  • No need to replace your stock 300-watt power supply

Acceptable but CPU-Limited Choices:

• GeForce GTX 1660 Super / Ti or GTX 1650 Super

  • Needs 450-watt+ PSU and one 8-pin (6+2-pin) connector

  • Your CPU will bottleneck this GPU in newer titles, but it's still usable for esports or older AAA games

• Radeon RX 6500 XT

  • Needs a 6-pin connector and a 400-watt PSU

  • Good price/performance ratio, but limited PCIe lanes and encoder support

---

PSU Upgrade Notes:

If your HP Pavilion 500-539 is fitted with the original HP 300-watt PSU, you'll need to upgrade to at least a 450-watt or 500-watt ATX power supply with:

• One or more PCIe power connectors (6-pin / 8-pin depending on GPU)

• A physical size that fits your case (microATX tower, measure depth) -check the power supply's dimensions (LxWxH) for fit

A good quality unit from Corsair (CX550), Seasonic, or EVGA will do fine.

---

Bottleneck Reminder:

The A10-7800 is quite old (2014) and may bottleneck any mid-range or high-end modern GPU in CPU-bound scenarios.

But with a GTX 1650 or RX 6400, you'll still see massive gains over the APU’s integrated Radeon R7 graphics.

Is 1650 super gonna work in my pc

[NonSequitur777]

@Kaizerzeno,

The stock power supply of your HP Pavilion Desktop - 500-539 (K5G71AA) as fitted with the Orchid2-S motherboard (SSID: 2B35) is a 300-watt unit, and the minimum power supply for a GTX 1650 Super (100-watt TDP) is also 300-watt, so, yes, a GTX 1650 Super should work.

Please note that a GTX 1650 Super requires a 6-pin PCIe power cable, and I would recommend using a dual 15-pin SATA to 6-pin PCIe power cable adapter (if your power supply doesn't have a PCIe power cable), such as this Amazon purchase example: https://www.amazon.com/CY-Supply-Adapter-Converter-Graphics/dp/B0C493MVRM/ref=sr_1_3?crid=21TM7QX3CL....

If it is the case that you do not have two open 15-pin SATA power cables, you'll have to use a 15-pin SATA splitter cable, such as this Amazon purchase example: https://www.amazon.com/SATA-Splitter-Wire-Power-Cable/dp/B002P6W9YW/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3S94H6SLV5W3M&di....

Another option is to upgrade your power supply, since your motherboard is 24-pin ATX power enabled, meaning, an industry standard ATX power supply would be compatible.  Watch dimensions (LxWxH) for fit inside your case.

Does 1650 low profile will work and does 1650 low profile need 6 pin connector

[NonSequitur777]

@Kaizerzeno,

A GTX 1650 Low Profile card such as this fine example: ASUS GTX 1650 Low Profile Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database, does not need a PCIe power cable because these non-GTX Super cards have a lower TDP (75-watt).

If you go the LP route, make sure your low-profile card comes with a full-size bracket, or else you won't be able to install it in your case.

What are your recommend gtx 1650s in my pc and does not need 6 pin connector this is my last question

[NonSequitur777]

@Kaizerzeno,

No worries about asking questions -what do you mean by "recommend gtx 1650s in my pc": do you mean "1650s" as in what GTX 1650 models (plural), or do you mean GTX 1650 Super?

What gtx 1650 models

[NonSequitur777]

@Kaizerzeno,

For whatever reason -market driven forces or whatever, new GTX 1650 models are rather expensive, such as this quality Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 D6 OC 4GB Amazon purchase example: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-1650-GDDR6-Graphics/dp/B08KHPQQXM/ref=sr_1_21?crid=1Q3WFM1HX....

So, on second thought, for about the same money -or less, actually, you can purchase a quality low-profile Zotac RTX 3050 LP 6 GB, as this Amazon purchase option shows: https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-Low-Profile-Graphics-ZT-A30510L-10L/dp/B0D4TRRSDV/ref=sr_1_1?cr....  Mind you: "Only 2 left in stock - order soon."

The advantage of the RTX 3050 is that you got more VRAM (6GB vs 4GB), a somewhat lower TDP (70-watt vs 75-watt), and best of all, considerably better graphics performance: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3050-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1650/4127vs4039.

Now, your PC doesn't need a "low profile" graphics card per se, but since it comes with a full-size PCIe bracket, it will fit just fine in your PC.
