Im running windows 10 64-bit and have an elite desk 800 g3 and the power supply i believe is 180 watts.
I am wondering if I can update the power supply and or get a better GPU.
I have heard that this computer has a weird connection to the motherboard from the power supply that would have to be worked around somehow to switch the power supply.
At this point I am not sure if its worth updating or not? It runs pretty good except when I have multiple monitors plugged in and the data on the monitors is busy. Im told this processor will not work with windows 11 so I am not sure how long I will be able to keep using it.
I would update it if I can figure out what I need to do to replace the GPU VX2250 SERIES on NVIDIA GeForce GT 730.
There also is a built in GPU in the Intel HD Graphics 630.
can you recommend which way I should connect my monitors to have the most memory available? Is there a better way to connect the monitors to the 2 graphics devices? Should I connect 2 monitors to the NVIDIA or only 1 to the Nvidia or ?
If I can update this power supply can you recommend what power supply to get and what GPU to buy.
For now until I change the GPU and power supply should 2 of my monitors connect to the nvidia or 2 monitors connect to the Intel graphics 630 to make it have the most memory available? Do you think a new power supply would be possible into this hp computer?
What graphics card is there now that would run with the existing power supply of 180 watts that would be worth switching to if any?
Also can you recommend an app or program that I can install that will help me to visualize what those graphics cards are doing?
I ran Speccy and see that virtualization is supported but is showing that its disabled. Do you think I should enable it and if so what is that going to do?
