I want to upgrade my graphics card for my tg01-0023w

[Bobbythegreat34]

Hello, I have a Pavilion TG01-0023w & wanted to upgrade my graphics card. Pretty new to pc gaming but have a little knowledge of pc's. The pavilion has a Ryzen 5 3500 and a 1650 super. I did add a second 8gb dd4r ram for a total of 16gb & a Samsung evo sata 2tb ssd, 

I found the power supply I would need which is a 500w psu (L05757-800) . I pretty much just wanted to upgrade my gpu to the best possible gpu I can upgrade too while sticking in the limits of the 500w psu. I have no clue how to calculate what all draws how much power etc. Thanks

@Bobbythegreat34,

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

One excellent graphics card option for your HP Pavilion Gaming - TG01-0023w as fitted with an Erica SSID: 8643 motherboard and powered by a 500-watt (L05757-800) power supply, would be an ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB Mini OC GDDR6 (such as this purchase example: ASUS GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8GB Mini OC GDDR6 Video Graphics Card GPU | eBay), which requires one 8-pin PCIe power cable. This card would stay within the aforementioned power supply limit.

Also, the RTX 3060 Ti 8GB graphics performance improvement compared with your GTX 1650 Super: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3060-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1650S-Super/4090vs4058, would be significant (129% vs. 58.7%).

Thank you for the reply. I was looking at the power consumption chart I seen & wasn't sure if the 3060 ti would draw too much power with the 8gb ddr4 ram, ryzen 5 3500 and the 2tb sata ssd  all though I did see a video on youtube by Technitwit where I believe he was able to put a 3060 in the case with slight modification.

@Bobbythegreat34,

The so-called "mini" graphics cards such as the Asus example I referenced with a 200-watt TDP, use less power.  That is why it needs only one 8-pin PCIe power cable, and not two 8-pin, or one 12-pin PCIe power cable. In any regard, that is why it will work with a 500-watt HP power supply.  The 65-watt TDP Ryzen processor, and the 2TB SATA SSD are not particularly high power-hogging.

Thank you so much. I will be looking into it. Think I will order one & the power supply. Figure I would upgrade this to run the best it can in the meantime until I can eventually upgrade to a better pc. Have a great night

@Bobbythegreat34,

Look, I was able to install an HP Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6 graphics card in an HP ProDesk 600 G3 MT powered by a 400-watt power supply: Solved: Upgrading HP ProDesk 600 G3 MT - HP Support Community - 8544105, and this PC has yet to crash, or the graphics card has yet to stutter. The graphics performance has been outstanding: HP ProDesk 600 G3 MT Performance Results - UserBenchmark.

I found some for around $350 . I emulate so don't need a ridiculous monster. Just something for up to around ps3. I am going to order one for sure. Again I really appreciate it

Sorry it took me so long to come back. I ended up getting a Asus 3060 ti mini . Fit nice & snug in the tg01. I ordered a 500w psu off of ebay. Everything game & I have to say so far it has been much higher than my expectations. I was able to emulate alot more. Unfortunately still unable to run alot of ps3 but the emulator rpcs3 relies heavily on cpu & I don't think upgrading the cpu is worth it to a Ryzen 3700. Not a ton of performance boost & I don't think the power supply could handle it. But yes very good call thank you so much for suggesting it.
