HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2000i
Microsoft Windows 11

Is it possible to add a second video card to the HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2000i?  The model number is:  TP01-2255t.  I currently use the VGA port to run a sound booth monitor and the HDMI port to an SDI distribution to 4 TV monitors.  It would be nice to have a second monitor in the sound booth where the PC is sitting.  It apparently has slots for additional cards.

 

OR

I do own a GTX960 video card I'm not currently using.  Can I install this card along side the built in video on the motherboard?

 

Thanks for any info

hi

here

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/186766/en-us

NVIDIA RTX / Quadro Desktop and Notebook Driver Release 510

Operating System:Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11

Quadro P600, Quadro P400

Drivers seem to be available, so that shouldn't be a problem on that side.
but maybe see directly with nvidia, for that

Hello
You can install a graphics card, but it will not be a second graphics card per se, since you are using the integrated graphics
which is automatically disabled if a graphics card is added
you only have one pci 16x slot

You have a power supply of only 310w
your old card may not work

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c07496533

Motherboard Specifications

1 PCIe x16; 1 PCIe x1

 
310 W Gold efficiency power supply

Thank you for the assistance.  Do you know of any video cards with three ports that might work?

HP Recommended

You will find examples here of compatible graphics cards

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-desktop-pc-tp01-2000i/2100367767
take into account the model of the motherboard, and the power supply

It may be necessary to search then, because it is not indicated, the exact characteristics of the graphics cards

example

AMD Radeon™ RX 550 Graphics (2 GB GDDR5 dedicated)

OK.  Thanks for the help.  I found one with four ports that requires less then 310 watts:


• 250 watt or greater power supply
• Single x16 PCI Express 2.0 expansion
slot
• Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8,
Windows 7, Windows Vista, All Versions of
Windows XP - Limited to 2 monitors. • •
• Card supports HDMI output only, VGA

 

Does this sound like it qualifies?

HP Recommended
