Video Card Recommendation for HP Pavillion 590 P0050

einstem · ‎12-29-2020

I have an HP Pavillion 590-p0050 with Windows 10 64 Bit and 16 GB of Memory.

I use it just as a general "work computer".. not for gaming.. and I don't do any high-end graphics work.

I'm looking to add in a dedicated video card to improve system performance a bit, as well as I need to be able to support multiple monitors. I need to have a set-up where I can have 3 or preferably even 4 different monitors since I am going to be doing some online training, and need several monitors with different screens for the online training.

I know that this computer doesn't have a big power supply, and space inside may be limited, so I need a solid but low-wattage video card that this system can support without needing to upgrade the power supply or the fan. I know there are some video cards that work off the PCI bus power only, so that is probably what I need. But key is that the card must have multiple display outputs.. 3.. or maybe even 4 outputs..

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hello
do you have this model?

HP Pavilion 590-p0050 Desktop PC Product Specifications

No graphics card, and 310w power supply?
It will be necessary to check for commercial models, the required power supply may be different, the dimensions.
If there is a need for additional pci power supply, there may not be any on your power supply unit!
You have this model for example:

HP Pavilion 590-p0007ur Desktop PC Product Specifications

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti (4 GB)

Rear I/O connectors: Dual Link DVI-D + HDMI + DisplayPort

For a small graphics card, 4 screens may be too much!

it will be necessary to see for the screens, there are not always the same connectors on the graphics cards
3 or 4 hdmi for example

Yes - That is my unit. It has a 300 watt power supply and only onboard graphics.. no dedicated graphics card.

I'll try the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti and see if that works.

I may not need 4 monitors at once.. Probably only 2 or 3 max at once..
