Product: Pavilion p6674y
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to install a new graphics card in my old Pavilion. I will add  a new power unit- I prefer nvidia or EVGa etc. generally... does someone know or can someone refer me to a url with this info?  I tried my radeon 5820 and it didn't have any output so I  stuck in a 500w psu and an old gtx 9400 for now, which only works for low usage.

@Maggietron, welcome to the forum.

 

Newer video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  HP didn't begin using UEFI until mid-October, 2012.  The motherboard can't be upgraded to UEFI.  The last video cards that didn't require UEFI were the GTX 660/670's. I suggest contacting EVGA's Tech Support (1-888-881-3842) for help with choosing the best card for your system.  They are the experts on their products.   Also, they can tell you the power requirements of the card that they recommend.
