Graphics Card Update HP ProDesk 400 G2.5 SFF

[Viktor_Antoniuk]

Good Day.

Please tell me which optimal graphics card can be installed in my ProDesk 400 G2.5 SFF (Part Number P5K32ES#ABU) for working with AutoCAD.
Do I need to change the power supply? Installed power supply 180 watts.
I wanted to buy a card NVIDIA Quadro K620 2 GB, but most likely my power supply will not pull it. Actually this is the question.
What about the recommended graphics card HP PCI-Ex nVidia NVS 310 1 GB GDDR3 Will my power supply pull it?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards from Ukraine

@Viktor_Antoniuk , welcome to the forum.

This is the actual card that HP recommends for your computer:  Nvidia NVS310 PCIe x16 graphics card, 512 MB

Here is the Maintenance and Service Guide:  http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04734370

You will find the information on the card in the section titled "Misc boards" on Page 9.

Here are the specifications for the card:  https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/nvs-310.c1451

It states in the section titled "Board Design" that the suggested power supply unit (PSU) is 350W.  Your PSU is 300W.  Also, it states that the power draw is rated at 20W.  I believe that your PSU should be enough to allow it to run properly.  You can choose a card that you want to buy and contact the manufacturer's Tech Support to assure that their card will work.  Each manufacturer has its own specifications for the cards.
