@Karlosgb84,

Welcome to our HP community forum!

A Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 2GB requires a minimum 500-watt power supply and needs two 6-pin PCIe power supply cables to power it.  Your HP Slim Desktop PC S01-pF3000i (6V2M1AV) appears to be fitted with a 180-watt power supply, and as far as I was able to ascertain here, there are no power supply upgrades available for your PC.

In other words, no, unfortunately it wouldn't be feasible to make the aforementioned graphics card work in your desktop.  What GPU do you have currently installed?

Kind Regards,

Hi NonSequitur777,

Thank you for responding.

Is "Intel(R) UHD Graphics 730" my current GPU (apologies, am very new to this)?

Ultimately, i would like to know if upgrading the graphics card is even possible with the current other components, and if so, which would be a suitable GPU. I am not after anything top-end, just to improve on the base GPU provided.

@Karlosgb84,

The Intel UHD Graphics 730 is the integrated graphics in processors like an i3-12500 with a Base/Max TDP of 60/89-watt.

One of the very best low-power graphics cards (50-watt TDP) which can most likely be adequately powered in your PC, is an RX 550, such as purchasable via this eBay-United Kingdom Seller: PowerColor Red Dragon Radeon RX 550 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card | eBay.

If you want to 'play' it really safe, a GT 1030 (30-watt TDP) is an option, as can be purchased via this eBay-UK Seller: ASUS GT1030 - 2GB - GDDR5 - Graphics Card (Low Profile) | eBay.
