How can I upgrade the Amd Radeon R7 Graphics graphics card?
The computer has 8GB of RAM and currently the graphics card is only being used 512MB.
Carefully.

@joaogilcp, welcome to the forum.
What is the actual model or product number of the computer? There are several models in this series. I need the model to review the specifications for it.

Hi! @cr3zyT, Welcome to HP forums.
I understand you would like to upgrade the graphics card on your PC to AMD Radeon R7 graphics card.
Don't worry I'll try to help you out.
I have checked the product specifications of your PC.
As your PC has only one x16 PCIe slot PCI express version 2.0 you cannot upgrade the graphics card on your PC to AMD Radeon R7 graphics card.
An AMD Radeon R7 graphics card would require PCI EXPRESS® VERSION17 3.0
However, check the power supply and graphics card size before purchasing the graphics card.
However, you can still try upgrading the AMD Radeon R7 graphics card on your PC but the graphics card might not work up to mark.
Also, you would have to upgrade the power supply on your PC. Please find the list of graphics card and the recommended power supply listed below.

@joaogilcp, Thanks for your quick response and time.
I appriciate your efforts for writing back to us.
You can use all the X16 PCI supported graphics card on your PC.
I think the maximum would be 4GB for your PC.
Hope this answers your query!
Take Care! 🙂
