Grpahics Card for HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Desktop Mini Business PC

[Skrydon]

My EliteDesk's GPU is currently Intel UHD Graphics 630 while I5 9500t. I was wondering if you could recommend possible upgrades to both CPU and GPU, preferably within the price range of $150 -$500, & to suffice Autodesk Maya 2024's minimum requirements. It has given me a warning on its console: "# Warning: GPU RENDERING NOT SUPPORTED : b'unable to load NVIDIA CUDA (-1)'", after I updated the 3D software. 

Most of the GPUs I've seen in the market are in standard size and would obviously not fit inside my PC but, I have found a mini GPU but I am not sure if this would be compatible with my system: RX 6400 D6 Low Profile 4G Graphics Card.  As for the CPU, I have no clue. 

Please do recommend some possible replacements for my mighty machine.

@Skrydon,

@banhien referenced the HP EliteDesk 800 G5 SFF (Small Form Factor), but your post was about the Desktop Mini (DM):

If your question is about the EliteDesk 800 G5 DM, then the RX 6400 would obviously not fit inside your DM case.

The only way (well, actually, the easiest way) to boost your DM's graphics performance is to purchase an M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe x16 adapter, such as offered here via AliExpress: PCIe 4.0 x4 Riser Cable 64Gbs M.2 Key M for NVMe External Graphics Card Stand Bracket R43SG PCI-E fo..., then you can use whatever GPU you pick, provided you also purchase a sufficient powerful (secondary) power supply for it, such as how I upgraded an HP EliteDesk 800 G4 DM: Solved: Upgrading an HP EliteDesk 800 65W G4 Desktop Mini (DM) - HP Support Community - 8708671.

Don't worry about the CPU heatsink upgrade I applied: chances are your i5-9500T will do just fine.

Kind Regards,
