Graphic card for 290 G1 SFF Business PC

[Bablo92]

Hello, 

I've recently bought a second hand 290 G1 SFF Business PC with a Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-8100 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz. I'd like to put a GPU, but I'm not very good with hardware, so before buying a GPU I'd like to know if my computer is compatible. 

So ideally I'd like to put a 1050ti, however, when I check in userbenchmark I understand nothing. 

Could someone help me please ? 

If this GPU is not compatible, could someone tell me the better GPU for my computer ? 

Thanks in advance

@Bablo92,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

The best power supply available for an HP 290 G1 SFF is a 180-watt power supply, which is what you got.

A GTX 1050 has a 75-watt TDP, which requires a minimum 250-watt power supply.  Trying to run this card with a 180-watt power supply is sort of chancy, I wouldn't do it.

There are two graphics cards which I would recommend for your desktop, the Nvidia T400 4GB GDDR6 which has just a 30-watt TDP, or the Nvidia Quadro P1000 4GB GDDR5, which reportedly has a 40-watt power consumption.

These cards are the two best performing cards to run off your 180-watt power supply.

You can purchase these cards online, such as via Amazon and eBay.

Kind Regards,
