Product: envy 750-287c
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello all , I have been looking into adding a graphics card to my desktop to improve video editing performance. I also would like to be able to output  UHD at 30hz since my tv/monitor is uhd.

Any suggestions on a card, form factor,  and what my max power capability is? I am hoping not to have to upgrade my psu, but i will if i must!

Thanks in advance!

@ruster,

The GTX 1050 (75W ) card would work with your units 300W PSU.  But you need to verify the card does not require a PCIE power plug, like some EVGA cards.  Note: I did not say the GTX 1050Ti card.  It requires added power.

UHD at 30hz quality explained.  It has a video.

Thank you so much for that.  I need a small bit of clarification, so would a similar graphics card, in the same power requirement and without the need for a power plug work. I've been looking at amd cards as well. 

Thanks in advance!

@ruster,

Your logic is correct.  An AMD card with 75W or less power requirements and no PCIE power plug !

Compare the specs on any card,  that is, RAM, bit (64/128/ etc) and DDR3 or 4.
