HP Pavilion HPE H8-1160t : I want to upgrade my graphics card

[draas]

I want to upgrade my graphics card so I can plan Phoenix Point, a gift from my son.  I have upgraded the power supply and the Ram.  Is there a listing of compatible GPUs or any limitations of this system I should know of before I buy?

Thank you!

Hi:

You can't go beyond the nVidia GT 6xx or the AMD Radeon HD 6xxx, because anything newer requires a BIOS revision 8.xx and your PC's BIOS only goes up to 6.16.

Here is the list of supported video cards that HP offered for your PC:

You may be able to find one of the listed cards in used but tested and working condition on eBay.

Thank you, that is exactly the type of information I was looking for!

You're very welcome.
