Hi,

 

I have the core i7 Pro 3500.

 

I wanted to know if you could add another gpu like the GTX 970 in it because the HD Graphics 4000 isn't very good.

I couldn't find any info on the motherboard that it has.

 

Would the Nvidia GTX 970 or GTX 980 work?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Matt

If you do have version 8 BIOS,  then proceed to read the following article on measuring card and installation.  You need to go the actual manufacturers site to attain the physical dimensions.  If doubtful, cut a card board template.

Here is a test:  (text has been edited)

The following comes from @Big_Dave  (IMHO resident hardware guru):

Open up the RUN command and enter: MSINFO32

 If your PC is not running a HP version 8 BIOS then the NVIDIA GTX 7xx or 9xx series graphics cards are not going to work in your PC.

Thanks for your reply,

 

But my biggest problem is that will it physically fit in the case?

 

Thanks
