Product: HP Pavilion 590-p0070
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello all,

 

I posted this on another board, but a friend suggested that I post it here, as I might get better answers, so here goes:

I'm getting an HP Pavilion 590-p0070 PC soon, but I just want to know which graphics cards are compatible. I checked the specs page for this PC at HP's site, but it gave no indications there.

I'm not a gamer, but I do a lot of video editing/encoding, which uses a lot of resources. The current PC (a laptop) that I'm using has a core i5-6200U/8 GB RAM/Geforce 940MX. It seems adequate for most smaller encodes, but slows down with some larger encodes.

I was hoping that the Pavilion 590 with it's core i7-8700/12 GB RAM would be sufficient, but it uses Intel UHD 630 integrated graphics, so I wondered if I would need a graphics card.

In comparison, the core i5-6200 is just 2 cores/4 threads, while the core i7-8700 is 6 cores/12 threads. I'll probably bump up the RAM to 16 GB as well, so would that be enough?

The videos I work on tend to be 720p or less, if that helps any. Either way, I would like to know which graphics cards are compatible, if only for future reference. Thanks in advance!
