Product: Omen 870-210
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an Omen 870-210 i3computer and I would like to upgrade the video card from the stock 2g card to a 6 or 8g video card.   Is this something I am able to do and if so what cards would work in this computer?

@dls0680,

Info on your base system can be found here.

Rather than make you VERY unhappy, I would ask you to state the need (example of game).   With an i3 CPU, adding a superior GPU does little to enhance your video, unless the game level adequately supports the i3.  The stock RX460 is a 75W card, and the 300W PSU is peak, power sustained is likely only 260W.

I appreciate your quick response to my post and posting a link to my comptuer specs.     I see that it would not benifit me to put in a better video card with an i3 processor.    What I really want is better game performance without purchasing a new computer.   I see that I can upgrade to an I5 or even an i7 processor then I can upgrade the video card also but then I am guessing I would need a new power supply then the cost would be similar to a new computer anyway.    It may be worth it to just save and wait.
