Compatible graphics card upgrade

[Jdot21]

Hi! I'm new to the whole "upgrading your PC" stuff as I just recently upgraded both my SSD and Ram, but I was wondering what graphics cards are compatible with my PC? I'm having trouble finding anything that says what I could replace the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660 ti (6 GB) with. It's also harder to understand what I could replace it with because of the dimensions being different than most. Any help would be appreciated! (Also, I am already aware that I need to upgrade the power supply as well to support a new graphics card)

@Jdot21,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

You have come to the right place.

Your OMEN by HP Obelisk Desktop PC - 875-0034 (4NN43AA) is a highly versatile and upgradeable gaming platform and is likely to remain so for at least another decade.

Without further ado: according to: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06330185, your desktop is fitted with an Edoras motherboard (SSID: 84FD), an Intel i7-9700 processor, a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB graphics card, and a 500-watt power supply. Please verify.

Since your motherboard is 24-pin ATX-power enabled, you can easily upgrade your power supply with any ATX power supply, as long as you watch its dimensions (LxWxH) for fit inside your case. A fully modular power supply would help a lot to make power cable management a breeze.

Please note: a 500-watt power supply can power up to an RTX 2070 Super, which, in my opinion, is probably the minimum level of graphics card you need to play modern games at high/ultra settings in 1080P.

Look, upgrading is mostly budget-driven: if you want high(er)-end graphics, upgrade your power supply to a 700/750-watt PSU, and you can upgrade, say to an RTX 2080 Super or an RTX 3070 Ti.

Here is a useful User link to show you upgraded HP System OMEN by HP Obelisk Desktop 875-0xxx systems: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/52222998.

Hope this was helpful.

Thank you! Now the only other question I have is about the dimensions of these products, the power supply dimensions are easy to find out but for the graphics card, the one that is currently in my PC (the GTX 1660 ti) is smaller than most graphics cards I've been able to find. Is there smaller versions of the two graphics cards that you mentioned, or will the ones that appear when you loom them up fit within the desktop/allocated space?

@Jdot21,

A very good question.  I would use sites such as TechPowerUp as a tool: for example, if you are interested in an RTX 3070 Ti, look here: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database.  It will provide the general dimensions and the minimum power supply needed:

Please note, that sometimes the "Width" listed is actually the "Height", as in this example.  Anyway, the length of this graphics card (267mm) may not fit in your PC.  But wait, when you scroll down the Tech page, you see a smaller version: GALAX RTX 3070 Ti (1-Click OC) Specs | TechPowerUp GPU Database, and you'll notice that its length (238mm) may very well fit in your desktop [please note: Height = 5 inches, Width = 2.1 inches].  The next problem is to find a particular graphics card online.  If your budget is limited, I would suggest looking in eBay, if you want to buy a new card, look firstly in Amazon or Newegg.

Kind Regards,

Thank you! I was able to locate some possible matches for what I'm looking for, would you be able to tell me if one of these would work with an 850 W power supply and the processor I currently have? If not, would I have to upgrade my processor as well to be able to use any of these?

@Jdot21,

These are all outstanding graphics cards; you can't go wrong with any of them.

However, the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 OC 8GB stands out amongst them -especially the incredible pricing makes this a fantastic purchase option!
