OMEN by HP Desktop PC - 880-160se CTO
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Will my OMEN by HP Desktop PC - 880-160se CTO support a video card upgrade to a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060??

More specifically, will my PCI Express x16 physical slots (Gen 3.0), each slot with x8 bus lanes handle a PCi x16 Gen 4 video card like the RTX 3060??

 

I think I've got the power, and room, and cooling.  Just not sure about the Tampa2 MB's PCI slot

Hello
we cannot guarantee that this will work, as there are quite a few different models
The pci gen3 connector shouldn't be a problem, you will just experience a loss of performance, maybe minimal.

Look maybe in the forum or on the net, I personally did not find many examples
we have more results for the 20xx series
