Hi:

it's possible the card will work.

It appears to have a power draw of 65W, and a recommended power supply of 250W, which is only 10W more than what you have now.

I have a Nvidia GT1030  low profile card in my HP 8200 Elite CMT and that works fine.

I has about the same release date as the AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100.

It is not as powerful a card though.  It only draws 30 Watts.

Thank you i going to go with the Nvidia GT1030 is it a 4gb? Really appreciate your time.

You're very welcome.

Mine has 2 GB of memory.

I'm sorry to keep bothering you but with your 2gb you are able to play games like Roblox and Minecraft Fortnite?

Not a problem, but unfortunately, I can't answer that question, because I don't use my PC for playing video games.

Google it.  I found this video for example...
