HP EliteDesk 705 G3 microtowe
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Halo ,

ik ben nieuw hier. Sorry als ik wat verkeerd doe.

Ik overweeg een hp elite desktop G3 aan te schaffen. met een AMD Ryzen 5 1500 processor. Een voetnoot bij de specs op hp-store.nl,  zegt dat ik een aparte videokaart moet aanschaffen om de Displayports te kunnen gebruiken. Dat vind ik op zich al vreemd, maar goed. Het staat er. Maar de voeding van de pc is maar 180 watt.

Is dat voldoende voor een extra videokaart ? Kan iemand mij uitleggen hoe dit zit ?

 

Alvast mijn dank voor een reactie.

Dirk

Hi Erico,

 

I think I understand. It's a matter of translating and correct reading. The specs say that when I buy a grafic card, I have to configer it. The remark no 19, that I should insert a grafic-card in combination with a Ryzen pro is not an issue in the case of this pc.

 

So, thank you. Let's close this topic.

 

regards,

Dirk

Hi Dirk,

 

A microtower desktop PC is not a good candidate for a video card upgrade. It is pretty much a worst case scenario for a couple of reasons.

1) The case is too small for a standard sized PCIe x16 video card. There are no gaming cards that will fit in the case.

2) The power supply is not a standard type, so finding a compatible PSU to upgrade it with is extremely difficult.

 

You can use the DisplayPort.

Hi Erico,

 

thank you for your reaction.

But why does HP advertise with this microtower pc with a remark that the user shoud buid in a videocard.

You write that the case is not big enough and there is not enough power.

However, I do not need a gaming card, so half size would do, but never the less, it is strange advertaising.

Don't you think so?

Dirk
