Gaming Upgrade Inquiry: HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2xxx (Intel UHD Graphics 730)

[CARlo80]

My current specifications are: Model: HP Pavilion Desktop PC TP01-2xxx and my current Graphics Card: Integrated Intel(R) UHD Graphics 730

I would like to replace the integrated graphics with a dedicated GPU. My primary concerns regarding compatibility are:

1. Power Supply Unit (PSU) Wattage: I need to know the exact maximum wattage (W) of the pre-installed Power Supply Unit (PSU) and whether it has the necessary 6-pin or 8-pin PCIe power connectors for a dedicated graphics card.

2. Physical Dimensions: Due to the compact nature of the Pavilion case, I need to know the maximum GPU length (in cm/inches) that can physically fit into the PCIe x16 slot.

3. Recommended GPUs: Based on the above limitations (PSU and space), which NVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon graphics cards do you officially recommend for this specific TP01-2xxx model that can handle modern 1080p gaming?

Could you please provide the maximum supported wattage, maximum physical dimensions, and a list of compatible dedicated GPUs?

@CARlo80,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

You have various outstanding graphics card options. Your HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2xxx can be upgraded to a 400-, 500-, or a 650-watt power supply. Depending on what your gaming expectations are (1080p, 2K, 4K) and your budget, here are a few suggestions:

With a 400-watt power supply (p/n: L04618-800 / 942332-001), you can power a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060 such as this model, powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable

Next step up would be a 500-watt power supply (p/n: 901759-013 / L05757-800) and a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4060 Ti such as this model, also powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable.

The next step would be a 650-watt power supply (p/n: L57253-003 / L36049-003) and a smaller-sized (dual fan) RTX 4070 such as this model, also powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power cable.

Btw, the newest generation Nvidia RTX 50xxx series graphics cards do not appear to be compatible (yet?) with your system.

In my opinion, avoid AMD cards.
