What's the best graphics card my PC can handle?

For slimlines, your psu capacity is the whole story. All slimlines are restricted to low-profile graphics cards, but which models you can install depends entirely upon psu capacity. HP's product specs indicate your computer has a 220W power supply.

What that psu, the best card you can install is the Radeon HD 6450. You can also install slower cards like the GeForce GT 520, Radeon HD 5450, GeForce 210 etc. But those are all weaker than the 6450.

You can safely ignore the "recommended" power supply being 400 watts. AMD (and ATI before they were acquired) has historically inflated their psu recommendations for low-end cards WAY above what's really need. The 6450's maximum power consumption is below 28 watts, so it works fine on 200-225 watt power supplies.

In order to run better cards like the low-profile GeForce GT 430, Radeon HD 6570 and Radeon HD 6670, you'd have to replace HPs factory power supply.

How can I know what graphics card I can run on my PC?

How can you know what graphics cards are compatible with your current PC? Well, so long as you have the PCIe slot for it and enough space, you’d be hard pressed to find one that wouldn’t work.As far as I know, most (if not all) graphics cards utilize what is known as a PCIe slot. Specifically, PCIe x16. Picture for reference:See those four slots running horizontally? The white and red slots? Those are PCIe slots that can hold graphics cards. And from the looks of it (if you look between the top most slot and the next down), this motherboard supports both SLI (NVIDIA) and Crossfire (AMD) for multi-card setups.So long as you have an empty PCIe x16 slot and a powerful enough PSU (power supply), you should be able to install and use most cards.Things to check before you buy:Size of the card - Sometimes, graphics cards can be bulky. Make sure the measurements fit within your case and don’t interfere with other components or pinch cables.Operating System - This is honestly an unlikely concern (as I doubt you’re still using Windows XP or ‘95), but just check while you’re at it. It shouldn’t take that long to verify. Anything from the past five years is easily compatible with Windows 10.Budget - Do you have the money to spend on something worth-while? Make sure it isn’t a purchase you’ll regret in a year’s time (for example, I do not recommend purchasing a 750ti, as it’s an old GPU). Shop around to ensure you get the best deal on the card you really want.And… That’s it, I think. Other answers have suggested a site called ‘PCPartPicker’, and I agree. If you know your current specs, enter them in on that site and enable the compatibility checker. It has a tendency to check (sometimes) for physical sizes, and if it notices something might not fit, it’ll tell ya below the parts list. Good luck, and don’t be afraid to ask for more info if you need it.

How can I know if a graphics card is compatible with my PC?

GPUs rarely have problems, usually their problems are the processor architecture like x86 and x64. If you still have x86 or 32Bit system, usually it will not work

Update: Can my computer handle a new graphics card?

The GTX 950 consumes 90-100 watts while gaming. If you have the Core i5 then it would be a good idea to swap out the power supply for a 500w 80+ Bronze model. The Core i5 consumes around 30 more watts than a Core i3 CPU. A Core i5 consumes around 80-85 watts. However, it's not likely that your CPU will consume that much juice while you're gaming.

You total system power draw would be below 300w so you should be able to use the GTX 950. However, you are cutting it close. The addition of the graphics card will cause your power supply to run hotter. Heat kills power supplies. When a power supply runs too hot it wastes electricity. Hence, the 80+ certification that is on Name Brand power supplies like EVGA, Corsair, XFX, and Seasonic..

Is a graphics card needed for Asphalt 8 in PC?

It can run just fine on reasonably recent Intel HD GPUs, but it does require that you don't have software compositing (that is, that the desktop itself is rendered by some graphics processor, which may be on the motherboard, in the CPU or on a graphics card)Any WDDM 1.0 (Windows Aero) compatible GPU (graphics processor) is good enough to run Asphalt 8. That is, all GPUs since about 2005/6.Any reasonably new computer (any computer that came out after Vista) should be able to run it, IF you have enough RAM that is.

How would I know if my PC supports a graphics card?

It is very easy to determine this. There are basically two major things things you must check - your motherboard and your power supply.Firstly, your motherboard must have a PCI-E x16 slot. You can easily Google and find images of such a slot, but I’ll attach one here as well. Even very old boards have at least one PCI-E x16 slot, if not more. You could also just search for the specifications of your motherboard and check if it has PCI-E x16 slots. The generation of the slot does not matter, they are all backwards-compatible. But it is important for it to be x16, and not lower.Secondly, you must have a good enough power supply for the graphics card you plan on buying. How much power you need is decided by the specific GPU you plan on purchasing. Not only should it have enough wattage, it should also be a good quality unit, so that it can handle the extra load that the graphics card puts on it. Generally speaking, the graphics card is the most power-hungry component, so I recommend you to do some research on the needs of your graphics card and purchase a good power supply if you don’t have one. Oftentimes the power supply is disregarded, and a bad power supply can permanently damage your system and even cause a fire(only in extreme cases of course). A mid range graphics card from a specific generation usually is well-off with a 550 W power supply with at least 80+ Bronze rating. Again, what you need depends on the GPU you will buy.If both these conditions are met, i.e., your motherboard has a PCI-E x16 slot and you have a good power supply, then your system is ready for a graphics card. One more thing you must keep in mind is that CPU bottlenecking is also a thing, so make sure your CPU and GPU go well with each other. You mainly need to make sure that your CPU is powerful enough to handle the GPU you are buying, to avoid CPU bottlenecking. You can usually do this by searching for your CPU and GPU combination on YouTube, and see a few gameplay videos with on-screen stats, and make sure that the GPU usage is around 95–100%. If it is so, your CPU and GPU are a good pair. There is no need to look at CPU usages to check for bottlenecking.Hope this helps. Cheers!

Does it all depend on the graphic card how many screens a PC can handle?

Yes, however most graphics cards made after 2012 can drive at least three monitors. You will still be limited by available card memory and the total resolution you are trying to run. For example, three 1080P displays combined horizontally look like 5760x1080 to your card, and running that much display for basically anything other than a desktop usually requires a fair amount of GPU power. I used to run a setup like this around 2012, and I needed two Nvidia GTX670 based graphics cards to get decent(not spectacular) results at that resolution in gaming. A single GTX670 could run the Windows desktop well, but you might sometimes see flickering or stuttering if you were trying to run videos in two different monitors at the same time.

I have 2 GB graphics card memory and 16 GB of RAM. Why can't my PC still play games in ultra settings or can I get my on-board graphics card to use the full 16 GB?

Since you say your motherboard can support 16 gb of ram, I'd guess that you have a fairly good cpu and that you'd also have Intel integrated graphics along with your graphics card. If you have a 3rd or 4th gen cpu @ atleast 2.6 ghz, thats way more than enough for most games out there..Now what about your hard disk?If you have a standard hard disk, specifically the 5400 rpm type, you're gonna get shitty gaming performance because it has ridiculously slow read/write speeds. I sold my old dell xps (i7,7gb ram,4 gb graphics) for the very same reason.Best thing you could do (if this is your problem) is to get a SSD and install whatever games/programs for which you want better performance onto that, because SSDs have considerably higher read/write speeds as compared to a hard disk. You will notice a vast improvement.7200 rpm HDDs are acceptable.Also,make sure to keep your hard disk defragmented at regular intervals.(DO NOT DEFRAG SSDs.EVER.).Next, we check how fast your ram is. You obviously have ddr3 ram and acceptable gaming speeds for ddr3 is 1600 mhz and higher(upto 2000+ mhz). If your motherboard only supports much slower speeds, then this could be your problem. The only solution is to buy a motherboard that supports faster speeds and buy faster ram as well..Next, does your pc have overheating issues? Try to keep it as clean as possible from the inside, no dust-clogged vents,etc. Spick and span it should be. If possible buy a cooling unit. Remove the side panels of your chassis, they only trap hot air and heat everything up. Try getting your cpu cooling paste replaced or changed for a more heavy duty type paste. This works wonders..Try downloading the latest drivers for your gpu. Its possible you may have outdated drivers that are incompatible with the games you're trying to play..Do you have other resource hungry applications running in the background? Use task manager to kill unnecesary tasks and then play..I can't think of anything else, but if you still have problems you can send me your pc's configuration and I'll try to see what could the issue could be.
