Hi looking for recommendations on upgrading the video card in my HP 790-0023a Pavilion Gaming PC. Presently it has the factory fitted NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070 (8 GB GDDR5 dedicated) installed and wishing to know what card I can upgrade to with the existing factory fitted power supply. { Windows11 operating system 32GB of ram }

@Rambone101,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

You have come to the right place!

Your HP 790-0023a Pavilion Gaming PC (4LZ87AA) happens to be highly upgradeable.

With the quality 500-watt (p/n: L05757-800) power supply your rig is fitted with, I would strongly recommend a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060 Ti powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable, such as this model: ASUS DUAL RTX 4060 Ti OC Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database.

This graphics card compares very well indeed with your current GTX 1070 8GB: UserBenchmark: Nvidia GTX 1070 vs RTX 4060-Ti.

But by all means, why stop there!

I would consider upgrading your stock i7-8700 with an i7-9700 or i9-9900, and I would speculate that even 8th- and 9th-gen Intel Core "K" processors would be compatible, but I wouldn't be completely sure of that.

Hi all I was wishing to upgrade my ram in my HP Pavilion Gaming 790-0023a 4LZ87AA to either 32GB, preferably 64GB but which ram would I choose to keep my speed ? I tried the Vengeance LPX DDR-4 2x 16GB 2666mhz but my speed was dropped down to roughly 2133mhz and there's no option in the bios to change any settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance...regards Bob

@Rambone101,

Yea, unless your PC has XMP access, RAM like Corsair Vengeance down throttles to its SPD or default speed.

Return that RAM asap and get this specific 2666 MHz DDR4 dual rank (2Rx8) RAM -which, incidentally I purchased recently too:

The fastest any RAM can run in your system is 2666 MHz, and this RAM is high quality and affordable too.
