Hi all, 

 

Recently I have gained interest in wanting to upgrade my desktop's graphics capabilities (HP Pavilion Desktop, link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-510-a000-desktop-pc-series/11926417/document/c05112...). The upgrade is specifically for 2 games:

 

World of Tanks requirements: https://worldoftanks.com/en/content/guide/general/system-requirements/

 

Europa Universalis requirements: https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Europa_Universalis_IV#Technical_information

 

Currently my desktop can run both games on minimum settings, although late-game in EU4 causes some noticeable lag issues, and increasing the graphics in WoT reduces my FPS.

 

Can I:

 

A) Add a GPU (external or otherwise) to this motherboard?

B) Will I need a new power supply than the provided 90 W to power it? 

C) If space is needed, can the M.2 expansion slot be swapped out for a graphics card, or is that not how that works?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Eric1880

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the upgrade query. 

 

I'm afraid, you will not be able to upgrade as there are no expansion slots available.  

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
