Product: ProDesk 400 G1 SFF
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

This machine (my work PC) has an NVidia K600 1GB graphics card. Can anyone recommend something that will fit this low profile case but with a bit more 'oomph', please. The K600 doesn't seem to have the muscle required by two reasonably sized monitors. All help welcomed, thank you 🙂

@UncleNobby , welcome to the forum.

 

The main problem that you are going to have is the power supply unit (PSU).  It is only 240W and the newer video cards require at least 300W to operate properly.  HP has their components made to their specifications so they work with the other components in the computer.  Therefore, they may not be the same as a retail version of the card; especially in power requirements.  The PSU's are normally difficult to upgrade in smaller cases because of the additional heat.
