Product: HP Pavilion 570-p030

Hi guys,

So I am looking to upgrade my desktop Pavilion 570-p030 PC which does not have a designated GPU. I was just wondering what graphics cards are compatible with my desktop without the need to switch out my power supply unit. Mind you I don't need to have too much of a demanding GPU. Something like a GTX 650 is fine if it can fit and be supplied with adequate power. Would a GTX 650 be adequate?

@vilecandy,

Here is some info you will need. It is about the motherboard and measurements.

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/I-want-to-change-my-graphic-car...

The GTX 650 is an old Legacy BIOS card. If you do try it, read up on Secure Boot.   Your system has UEFIvBIOS, which needs some changes to run a Legacy card.

Okay is it hard to change the settings in BIOS so that it is compatible with the old card?
