Information about graphics card compatibility for older HP systems
We own two older HP systems designed for offline tasks, specifically the HP 440 six-core models. The machines function properly, but their graphics cards are outdated 670-series units that have reached the end of their life. I’m wondering if the GTX900 or GTX1050 series can run on these computers. I don’t want to discard them for a cheaper used card, and they’re both still operational. Please let me know.
The 900 series appears to be quite reliable. A few 10 series cards might need a UEFI BIOS, but it seems this BIOS support is available in newer versions of the Z440 BIOS.
Eximo, the BIOS was my main worry since I understand that some older HP models won't boot with a 900 series card installed. I thought we'd be safe using a 900 series card, but it's worth verifying. I think they have the updated BIOS; these computers aren't affected, so a 900 should work fine.
