[matty9]

Hello, all I was wondering whether my computer  (hp omen 875-0005na ) could fit a RTX 3060 ti  (dual fan  )   i don't want to buy a new GPU without being certain that it's compatible

@matty9 , welcome to the forum.

Here is a HP Knowledge Base article to tell you what to consider when upgrading your video card: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Knowledge-Base/Upgrade-Video-Card/ta-p/7481981

The two major concerns are 1) the length of the card and 2) the wattage required to run it properly.  You can follow the instructions in the article on measuring the space where the card will be installed.  The PCIe slot on the motherboard is PCI Express 3.0 x16.  This will work with the card.  Each manufacturer has their own specifications for the card, however.  You can check to see what they offer.

The power supply unit (PSU) in your computer is only 300W.  This means to run a RTX 3060 Ti you will have to upgrade the PSU to at least 650W w/2x8-pin PCIe power connectors: https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-rtx-3060-ti-ventus-2x/p/N82E16814137615?Description=R...

Here is a Power Supply Calculator to see how much power the system will require with the 3060 installed: https://www.newegg.com/tools/power-supply-calculator/?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_mediu...

You should measure the existing PSU to assure the one that you choose will fit into the space provided.
