HP Pavilion Power Desktop - 580-023w GPU upgrade to nvidia rtx 4060

[Benm2110]

I am trying to upgrade the GPU in my HP Pavilion Power Desktop - 580-023w from the gtx 1060 3gb to rtx 4060 8gb. When i plug in the new gpu, the system starts up and is able to display content on my monitor using the new gpu's hdmi port. Did not have any issues with the power connectors since there was option to make an 8pin connector by combining 6 + 2 pins. But the new GPU is not detected as an NVIDIA one. So instead of using the NVIDIA drivers, it's using the default windows driver to display the content. 

When I tried to check the bios setting, it's not showing the new GPU there. 

The last BIOS update i got for this system was before 2023 if i remember correctly. So i am not sure if this device supports this new graphics card which was released in June 2023. 

So is there a way to check the compatibility? Any help would be appreciated.

@Benm2110,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

An interesting issue.

My first observation is that there is no good reason I can think of why an RTX 4060 wouldn't run perfectly fine on your HP Pavilion Power 580-023w Desktop PC (Z5N95AA).  There is no magical divide between, say an RTX 3070 Ti (see: HP Pavilion Power Desktop 580-0xx Performance Results - UserBenchmark) and an RTX 4060.

So, according to: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05638874, your rig is fitted with an Odense2-K motherboard (SSID: 82F1) -which is 24-pin ATX-power enabled, and an uATX 300-watt power supply.

Now, according to: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/40-series/rtx-4060-4060ti/, the manufacturer recommends a minimum 550-watt power supply.

Speaking of Nvidia, the 4xxx graphics card series system requirements look A-OK to me regarding your desktop: System Requirements | NVIDIA GeForce Experience.

I am just spit balling here, but my recommendation is to upgrade your power supply to at least a 500-watt power supply.

Unrelated to this, and I know I am digressing, but you may as well consider upgrading your processor to an i7-7700K (like what this HP Pavilion Power Desktop 580-0xx User did: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/52302633).

Anyway, please try this Nvidia RTX 4060 'Game Ready' driver download (Driver Version: 537.13 - WHQL, Release Date: Tue Aug 22, 2023), and see if this works for you: https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/537.13/537.13-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whq....

Hope this was helpful.

Kind Regards,
