Hello, I have an HP Workstation Z400 with a standard graphics card NVIDIA Quadro 2000! I want to upgrade my graphics card and I will buy an Nvidia p4000 card can you tell me if it is compatible with my PC?  Can you tell me if I'm going to have any problems or if my motherboard is at risk? Thank you in advance for your support

I have had several z400 and I assume you have the 475 watt power supply.   I am currently running a GTX-1070 Ti.

 

Both the 2000 and the 4000 have a recommended power supply of 250 watts.  The 4000 is about 8 times better than the 2000.  I do not see any problem upgrading.  I assume you are getting a used p4000.  Always make sure the seller allows returns.

 

All of those cards are "end of life" including my 1070.

 

You might consider the RTX-2060. It is still being actively produced.  It does take 2 slots of space unlike the 2000 or the 4000.  It's recommended power supply is 450 watts which might be a problem if you have an x5680 or higher performing xeon and  a lot of disk drives.

Yes, of course I will buy a used P4000. My doubt is for pcie version, on z400 I'm sure is a pcie 2 16x and on P4000 I do not know but may be a pcie 3.And so in this case the two hw can work correctly? I don't have to play but I use this pc with photoshop
