Product: can i use GTX 1050 TI as upgrade to now non-supported graphics GRRRR
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a registered p7-1446s with now no-longer-supported integrated graphics from AMD.  Will NEVER buy an AMD computer again… EVER.  It appears that there is only 1 video card that MAY be compatible with my p7-1446s:  The GTX 1050 TI 4Gb running upwards of a  couple of hundred dollars.  Can ANYone conclusively tell me if this will work or not?

@kevin_heard , welcome to the forum.

 

The first thing that you will have to check is, to see if the motherboard has a standard/Legacy BIOS or UEFI.  HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012.  Your computer was released in September, 2012.  Since your computer was released with Win 8, I believe that it should be UEFI.  I simply don't want to give you incorrect information.  The newer video cards require UEFI in the motherboard.
