Upgrading pc part

[AnthonyAlbert22]

Hello, I have a question I was given a excellent condition. HP Gaming Desktop Victus 15L TG02-0410 Intel Core i5-12400F 16GB DDR4 512GB PCIe SSD GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Windows 11 Home 64-bit,   and i wanted to upgrade the graphics card to a GIGABYTE WINDFORCE OC GeForce RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-N3060WF2OC-12GD REV2.0 which is a huge upgrade and I did the measurements and I believe it will barely fit but I was also double checking with the hp support which is how i came here. Any answer or advice would very much be helpful thank you

Welcome to the HP Forum.

The dual fan Gigabyte 3060 at this Site should fit in your PC's case.

Gigabyte recommends a 550 watt power supply having one eight pin power connector to this graphics card. However Tech Powerup states a Gigabyte 3060 will work fine using a 450 watt power supply having the required eight pin power connector.

I could not locate a dual fan Gigabyte 3060 at Tech Power up. Disregard the triple fan card image shown at Tech Powerup.

The dual fan Gigabyte card you are looking at would have the same GPU die and memory specs. Only the card dimensions differ. Your PC's case can't do a triple fan graphics card.

This Site states the TG02-0410 has a 500 watt power supply.

The Gigabyte dual fan 3060 should work with your PC using a HP 500 watt power supply.
