Official list of supported graphics cards for HP IPISB-CH2 motherboard

[skriva]

Hi,

Is there any official list of supported graphics cards for HP motherboards (specifically HP IPISB-CH2 (Chicago))?

I've been trying to upgrade my graphics for MSI GTX 960, but found out the MB's BIOS (v. 7.12) is incompatible and there's no BIOS upgrade available that would solve this problem. I have returned the 960 and wanted to try the GTX 660, but a few people told me they've also been having BIOS compatibility issues with this one.

The only info I found was that the MB "Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards" (source: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02854392 ) - which is a very insufficient description (as the GTX 960 meets it and doesn't work anyway).

Thanks for your reply, may I just ask for your source? Or is that from your own experience?

I'd like to be as sure as possible before I buy another card, especially because I'm probably buying a cheaper used one, since it is going to be some older model that I probably wouldn't use in a new pc if I were about to get one any time soon.

Hi,

There are three versions of the motherboard, in the official web site  can see that detail parts, desktops using IPISB-CH2 (Chicago) from factory, and video cards are installed on them.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if the graph is more powerful requiring a power of more watts.
