Hello, I bought a computer set (HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF) without a graphics card, because I did not need it, I thought. I emailed the lady to the site where I had ordered the equipment but they were not very helpful. They just told me that I needed a graphics card, which would be in the name Low Profile, I don't know anything about it and I counted on some precise help. I will just add that I would like to play GTA 5 and The Witcher 3.
Yeah .. low profile is one thing, and the power supply is another problem. Not only does not any additional 4-6pin plug for graphic acts come out of the power supply, it also has only approx. 240W from what I remember, so any sensible card will not work with this computer.
The linked topic is a bit old. It was a mistake to buy an office computer in an SFF case and focus on games. Total shot in the foot. Now you will be rocking with rather low-performance cards, because you won't pack anything interesting with this equipment.
People can put GT1030 into this equipment and you can consider such a card, there are LOW PROFILE versions of these cards. GT1030 does not consume much electricity and requires no additional power supply:
Both are slightly tweaked, very slight differences in their timing have practically no effect on overall performance (differences below 1%).
Since poverty could be combined with higher card models, you need to find out if the PCI-e slot has no limitations in terms of current efficiency (some SFF computers were not able to deliver 75W). Then you can think of some low profile version of the GTX1050.
Thank you very much for your help, the computer was supposed to be used in my office only for work but there is some free time so why not spend it on gaming. Best regards and thank you.
On the GT1030, you can run some games and even play them, although the game machine does not make it. On the plus side, the card is cheap and does not require power modification, so I think it should be just right. Just note that you need a monitor with digital input for such a card. If you only have a VGA / DSUB monitor, this is an additional problem.
New low profile cards matching this HP are in turn from the least efficient (approximate prices) GT1030 (PLN 300) - GTX1050 (PLN 500) - GTX 1050TI (PLN 650) You can even play witmina 3 on them (although in the case of gt1030 in lower resolution than fullhd). Anything you can look for in the network will work, the power supply will not be a limitation. The board, as you can see, can provide 75W because the cards work, and those given in the 25W specification or in other 50W models, are often because manufacturers in factory configurations did not install stronger ones, and the specifications given in the documents are more suitable for ordering new configurations and sometimes they do not correspond to reality.
I have a Dell 7010 SFF myself with a GTX 1050 LP. How do you feel like reading his review is on the blogs of good programs (I am not able to include a link).
It is correct. Personally, I installed the GeForce GTX 1050 Low Profile in the HP 8300 SFF computer and with a 240w power supply. It's flawless, games like GTA V or Beatllefield 1 work even at full details without clipping.
The discussion revolves around selecting a low-profile graphics card for the HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF to enable gaming for titles like GTA 5 and The Witcher 3. Users highlight the importance of the PCIe x16 slot and the limitations of the 240W power supply. Recommended graphics cards include the GT1030, which is low power and does not require additional power connectors, and the GTX 1050 and GTX 1050 TI, which can also fit but may require careful consideration of power supply capabilities. Users share experiences with these cards, noting that the GTX 1050 performs well even at high settings for demanding games. Compatibility with monitors is also discussed, emphasizing the need for digital inputs for certain cards. Summary generated by the language model.
