Seeking Assistance with a HP P6370t with - HP IONA GL8E 575765-001 575765-201 MS-7613 IONA-GL8E (Motherboard). Operating system Windows 7 64 bit and a Intel ® Core™ i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20 Ghz, 3201 Mhz, 2 Core(s) 4 Logical and BIOS Version 2.6 (American Megatrends Inc. 5.15, 6/25/10).
I’m looking to replace the original graphics card (Nvidia GT220) 128 BIT 2.0 X16 with a GT1030 64 BIT 3.0 X 4. Each are both ‘low profile’ as I see no issues with fitment. The GT1030 will only be used for processing and editing video at up to 2K (No Gaming), yet I believe the GT1030 is good for 4K viewing.
Will I experience any issues by replacing the 2.0 x16 with a 3.0x4? And, will throttling be a problem with the current Mother Board? Any problems with the BIOS? All replies associated with the above are greatly appreciated.

The GT 1030 has a UEFI BIOS and that may cause it to not work.
It is also a bit difficult to tell if your PC has a 300 W PSU installed. That is also one of the GT 1030 card requirements.
You would probably be better off with a video card that is known to have hybrid legacy/UEFI BIOS.
