Pavillion p7-1287c
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

I would like to know if my older Pavillion p7-1287c desktop will support an HDMI graphics card.  It came with a DVI/VGA card, however, I have to use my DVI/HDMI monitor with a work computer as well as my personal Pavillion computer, and every time I change the monitor settings from HDMI to DVI, it screws up my work video settings.

@pamelajmak, welcome to the forum.

 

The GTX 660/670 series of cards will work with your motherboard.  They both have HDMI ports.  You would have to upgrade the power supply unit (PSU), also.  Your PSU is only 300W.  They require 450/500W and at least one supplemental power connector.
