Solved: I need to upgrade my PC's GPU to support a new 4K monitor. - HP Support Community

exkingfelix · ‎12-23-2022

I need a recommendation for a GPU upgrade. New monitor is 4K / 60 hz. I am not a gamer at all. I use my computer mainly for (a really old version of) Photoshop but watch a lot of 4K video on Youtube. 4K video looked great downscaled on my old 1080p monitor. Now it's anything but smooth and I'm getting a lot of judder. I know it is not my internet connection because my 4K TV streams 4K video flawlessly. So I'm overtaxing my PC's current resources (Intel (R) UHD Graphics 750) and would like to add a compatible standalone video card if possible. Can someone steer me in the right direction? I can't seem to find any information about my power supply's wattage in system information, so I don't know what kind of upgrade (if any) my PC can handle. Thank you.

you're limited because of the power of the power supply, but if just for watching video, you don't need a powerful high-end card
see to start the KB of @old_geekster

Upgrade Video Card - HP Support Community - 7481981

then you can try asus site with filter

if ever you can't install a good enough graphics card for youtube videos, then you'll have to lower the settings a bit

unless you also change the power supply

same series, same motherboard you have this one :

HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop TG01-2285t

Motherboard

Thanks for making selecting a GPU so easy. Two weeks after installing an Asus GF GT 1030, 2 GB GDDR5 GPU (90YV0AT2-M0NA00), my PC's performance is superb for my purposes. 4K video is smooth and flawless. Making art in my ancient, obsolete version of Photoshop has even gotten less buggy and crash-prone, which is an unexpected surprise. I never realized how limiting integrated graphics could be. Even this slight upgrade (under $100 shipped even with current inflated GPU prices) has been eye-opening.
