looking for a better Graphics Card for my new Provilion 590-p0016 pcie -x16 (at a reasonable $

[JamesTonkinson]

I am looking for a Graphics adapter for my new Paviloion.   I know it has a PCIe X-16 and x-1 socket available.

it only has a 300 watt psu.   Do I use a half-height card - full height.   what works.

thanks

@JamesTonkinson Welcome to HP Forums!

According to my research, you can use both half-height and full height graphics cards on your PCIe slots, however, the reason for the upgrade would determine my recommendation,

Although, I must let you know: 

(As an upgrade/custom enthusiast I personally love the idea of upgrading the device as well, However, HP recommends that you go easy on it as the device is equipped with parts that perform at its optimal performance and also, the upgradeable parts listed above are purely for your ease, though the decision to upgrade will be at your own discretion)

Keeping that in mind, depending on what you need the graphics card for, I personally suggest the Nvidia 1050 with the 310W PSU: Click here for specs. as it's got a reasonable price, although, again you need to give me a number that decides your budget of investment, and we can work accordingly.

I hope that answers your query,
