Hi:

 

The AMD Radeon HD 6450 low profile graphics card was the optional card for the 8200 Elite SFF.

 

You can still find them relatively easy.

If you want a newer model card, the Nvidia GT 710 should also work.  It only draws 25W of power.

Thank you so much

i think will go with the 1st and hopefully it will work - but would you recommend that or should I go with te newer model? I use lots of charting softwares so i need a good video card 

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

 

I think the GT 710 would be the best choice.

HP Recommended
Thank you again for your kind reply

I checked on the GT 710 and I read it requires a 300W power supply ( tho the consumption is only 25W) and I believe the one i’ve in my PC(according to the hp manual) is 240W
Unless you don’t see the power supply as a problem, I think I will try the Radeon and see if it works well


HP Recommended

Anytime.

 

If you look at the power supply requirements for the HD 6450, AMD states a 400W power supply is required.

 

Both requirements are overstated.

 

But the choice is yours as to how you want to proceed.

You're most welcome.

I recommend installing a much newer graphics card, such as a gtx 1050 ti, it is worth the price, almost quadrupling the integrated graphics on the default motherboard.

Bought the ZOTAC GeForce GT 710 2GB DDR3  and it was to wide for the 8200.  Had to return it.
