Hey guys, 

 

I am currently working with an HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF PC and I would like to upgrade my video card to be able to take on some more gaming.  The card I'm looking to upgrade to is: this.

 

I am worried about the power supply being only a 240W supply, but I am not running any other hardware through the PCI-e. The system is otherwise as it came from the factory with the AMD 7450HD card in it.  

 

Please let me know what more information I can give. 

 

Thanks in advance,

-PK

Would those listed perform better than the one in the box? If, yes, which one would be the best? With thanks

Dear K B T 86

Could you or any other expert help me to choose a best option for my case? Here are the details. We have HP compaq elite 8300 sff qv996av ( Intel Core i5-3470, 4GB DDR3 SDRAM, 500GB SATA 7200 rpm, SuperMulti DVD-RW, PSU 240W, Windows 7 Professional 64).  We use this PC for video surveillance: about 15-20 cameras displayed on the operator's monitor. Currrently, it consumes 60-70 % of  CPU. In order to reduce the load we decided to buy discrete video card. We have 150 USD allocated for this purpose. Can anyone suggest the most powerful and compatible video card considering the form factor and PSU of the PC? Thank you in advance!

Here are two video cards, with the small form factor backplate, that I tested today for you in that workstation.  I like the Quadro cards for reliability, and one is the Quadro 600 and the other is the Quadro K600.  Well within your price range..... I got these both virtually new off eBay for less than $80.00 USD each with careful shopping.  This is the Windows Experience Index scoring, in W7, with max score possible of 7.9 for each category.  Same box... only the card was changed:

Dear SDH,

Thank you for your support. Could you please assure that the PSU will handle this video card?

My concern that the suggested models from HP consumes 20W at max, where Quadro K600 seems to consume 40W. Considering that the video card will be heavily loaded all the time, is it safe to buy? 

 

Update:

We have bought  AMD Radeon HD 7450 graphics card B1R44AA with 1GB DDR3.  Eventhough the Windows Experience Index for graphics dropped a little,  it helped us to solve the issue. Now we are able to  save and decode our video.

I've recently purchase the same computer ( HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF PC) and notice that this is an older post. Do you know if this computer will work with a newer "AMD Radeon HD 7450 2048MB/2GB GDDR3 PCI-E Video Graphics Card HDMI 64b WIN10 B"?

Thank you for your time and help, 🙂
