I have a HP Compaq Pro 6305 Micro tower PC I need to upgrade the video card. Im using windows 10. What video card can I use that would work with it. I did install a video card but it is not compatible to windows 10 I think it was for window 7. I tried very hard to fix the problem but still one screen is normal and the second screen is displaying bigger. So I know that the card is not compatible with Win10. I think it has 320 w power supply not sure so that means I should be able to get 2gb card for it.

What card should I get??

@Buzznow,

 

Yes, this GTX 1050 Ti will fit in an HP Compaq Pro 6305 MT:

And given its 75-watt TDP, a 320-watt power supply will have no problem powering it: GIGABYTE GTX 1050 Ti Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database ("Suggested PSU: 250 W").

 

Kind Regards,

@Buzznow,

 

Welcome to our HP community forum!

 

Your HP Compaq PRO 6305 MT as powered by a 320-watt power supply, you should be fine with any of these graphics cards, among others, from lower to higher performance:

 

GTX 750 Ti 2GB

Radeon R7 260 2GB

GTX 1050 2GB

GTX 1050 Ti 4GB

@Buzznow,

 

I would suggest getting a GTX 1050 Ti 4GB.

 

You can purchase these cards inexpensively, such as this $59 purchase option via this trusted eBay Seller: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card GVN105TD54GD 889523007525 | eBay.
