Product: HP Envy 750-170se
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I wish to upgrade my graphics card from a Nvidia 745 Gtx to a Nvidia 1050 but I need more power. Can I upgrade my PSU from a 300watt to something higher? 500watt maybe?

Hi,

 

There are makes and models of the NVIDIA GTX 1050 and the GTX 1050 TI that will work with a 300 watt power supply. Do some measuring inisde to make sure that the selected graphics card will fit.

 

I suggest that you update the BIOS on your PC first and make sure that your PC is stable before installing the new graphics card.

HP ENVY 6055, HP Deskjet 1112
HP Envy 17", i7-8550u,16GB, 512GB NVMe, 4K screen, Windows 11 x64
Custom PC - Z690, i9-12900K, 32GB DDR5 5600, dual 512 GB NVMe, gen4 2 TB m.2 SSD, 4K screen, OC'd to 5 Ghz, NVIDIA 3080 10GB
