Hello, I would like to know what Graphics cards over 6GB are available for my M01-f0000a and where can I get the screw for locking the graphics card in place?

@BirdPaje,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

You likely got a 180-watt power supply -please verify.

 

In order to power a GPU over 6GB you'll have to upgrade your power supply to a 400-watt power supply with p/n: L04618-800 (942332-001).  You can purchase one of these online, for as little as $42 from this eBay Seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/135438747594?_skw=HP+L04618-800&epid=24051866430&itmmeta=01JF35JFWNG9ESPT81....

 

One of the best/affordable 8GB+ cards would be an RTX 3050 8GB, such as this purchase example: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-128-Bit-Graphics-Renewed/dp/B0CQ716WMZ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=D0MXI70JL4....

Yes I can confirm its 180W

@BirdPaje,

 

All right, I would recommend upgrading your power supply, since there is nothing much you can do with a 180-watt power supply.

 

If your budget allows you to purchase the RTX 3050, consider it.

I upgraded it to a 400W Power Supply

@BirdPaje,

 

Outstanding!  With a 400-watt power supply, you could upgrade your graphics card to a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060 such as this purchase option: Amazon.com: MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 4060 8GB GDRR6 Extreme Clock: 2505 MHz 128-Bit HDMI/DP Nvlink TOR....
