Will the GT 1030 graphics card work with my legacy bios of 6.1 and my mother board.

Hi:

 

Unfortunately, the GT 1030 will not work in your PC.

 

In order for any nVidia graphics card beyond one of the GT(X) 6xx models to work, your PC has to have a BIOS version of 8.1x or newer.

 

Your PC's BIOS can only be updated to version 6.11.

Are there any older graphic cards that will work on my computer that will play Visual Pinball VPX at 1080 and 60 fps?

HP Recommended

Unfortunately, that I wouldn't know. 

 

I don't play video games.

 

Find a NVidia GT(X) 6xx card that works with your PC's power supply, and would have the specs to play the pinball game you use.

HP Recommended

you appear to have this system model

a nvidia GTX 680 or 670 will do what you want if you meet the power supply requirements by replacing the stock 250 watt supply with a 550/650 watt ATX standard supply SKIP THOSE 30.00 no name 700 watt units, as they don't output anywhere near 700 watts (more like 200/300 watts)

 

here's a name brand unit

adding 4gb more of ram (if possible) is highly recommended as it will increase system response time/speed overall

you might want to consider a new USED system off eBay, a HP z400 v2 system (motherboard has 6 memory slots not 4)
