For the past couple of days I have tried to find information relating to the max size graphics card I can install in this Slimline, but to no avail. The only partially helpful piece of info I could find is confirmation that it does have one One PCI-E x16 socket: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-slimline-270-p000-desktop-pc-series/13823526/model/17961732/.... I'm currently looking to upgrade to a GTX 1050, nothing too big. Can you help me out?

 

 

Thanks,

@Doneo,

 

Welcome to HP Support Forums!

 

I see from your post that you need information and assistance related to upgrading of graphics card on your HP Desktop PC. No worries, I'll be glad to assist you.

 

As you have mentioned in your post that your PC has One PCI Express x16 slot available for the graphics card. 

 

Please note while upgrading the graphics card, please ensure you check the form factor and then next thing, is to check for the recommended power supply.

 

On your PC you have an Internal 180 W PSU- Note: remember to check the form factor as well for the power supply (180 W SFF Bronze)

 

Here's the Motherboard specifications - HP Desktop PCs - motherboard specifications, Lubin

 

Disclaimer: HP Doesn't recommend any upgrade/downgrade of any hardware parts or software that is bundled with the product. It may affect the manufacturer's warranty and performance. You can change the configuration at your own risk. 

 

Regarding the GTX 1050, you can try to install but we cannot guarantee if it's going to work or  not, as it's not been tested on your PC. Here's the specifications of the graphics card.

 

I hope this answers your question, do let me know if you need any further assistance.

that said, If the information I've provided was helpful, 

give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons, 

that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

Good Luck.
