Can I use a RTX 2060 graphics card on my computer?

Case Subject: Hello! I'm Cori. I am currently looking to upgrade my graphics card. Right now, I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, but I would like to upgrade to an RTX 2060. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/rtx-2060/ But I don't know if it's compatible with my Phoenix 810-310qe motherboard. Does anybody know?

I know my PSU is good, so don't worry about that. I talked to someone at NVIDIA anout it, they said my motherboard should be able to accommodate it. But they mentioned that I could get it "cross checked" with HP? How do I do that?

Hello @Coco002

A 2060 RTX should be fine, but you need to make sure of two things.

1. That is is enough room to fit the size of the card to the area of the mini case if you have two expansion slots on the back of the case available.

2. You need at least a 500w Power Supply with an 8 pin connector. If your psu does not have an 8 pin, you will have to replace it with another ATX PSU. Yours came with a 500w psu, but I dont know if it has the connector. You will have to look it.

Is that what you needed to know?

Sorta. I already had a NVIDIA tech take a look at my PSU and he said that should work.

Still trying to get in touch with HP so they can do a cross check. I've sent them a request to call me, but nothing yet.

Well, Ill put it this way as far as the motherboard goes... If your system can run a GTX 1000 series like the 1050, it will run a RTX 2000 series also.

Good luck.
