likely not, and also the power supply in there will not power a discrete card especially a gtx 570

It will Probably barely fit. Measure the width Of the pc, and the length from the pci-e slot to the ram slots. If you don't have anything protuding that space you should be fine. As mistermu suggested, you don't have a good enough power supply. You will need at least 550w, depending on which powersupply model you buy.

Thanks for input. Yes I will upgrade PSU for sure. How about gtx 560ti ? I heard its smaller than 570.

p6720f - upgrade video card - HP Support Forum

from looking at this post, he says you have about 9.5 inches space for your video card
standard dimensions for a gtx570 is 10.5 inches, and gtx560 ranges from around 9-10 inches... some cards may be shorter/longer depending on manufacturer as well... and if you do find a short 560, it will be a VERY tight squeeze...

but again, i m just assuming the person that wrote in the post is right about the dimensions, you should open up your computer and get the exact measurements before deciding to buy a video card.

Worst case just bring your computer to a computer shop, so you don't have to spend time doing returns and stuff if you find out the video card doesn't fit your system after buying it and any other problems that might occur (like HP setting up some blockade to force customers to buy upgrades from them).

Newegg.ca - MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6950 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

Probably the fastest card that will fit in that case.

^ that card is 9.65 inches..

I have a PNY 560Ti that's 8.5", so that might fit. One thing to note is whether or not there are connectors (SATA, power, etc) that can be in the way of a PCIe card that size. My board had the SATA connectors in line with the PCIe slot, and it BARELY fit (I had to slide the SATA cables under the card, and it's really pressing hard on the connector).

Also to note- where the card power connectors are. My 560Ti has them at the end of the card, somewhat extending that 8.5".

My advice? You're probably out of luck with your case if you want anything like a 560Ti/6950/570 AND a new PSU.

My advice is not to upgrade anything now. Save up at least $850 and buy a new computer. Even if you upgrade the Video card and PSU, The HDD is most likely running at 5400RPM and also newer Video card tends to spit a lot of heat. You are going to getting some intake fans and a good case with ventlation.

I recently upgraded my GTX 460 to a Powercolor 6950 and the case is like an oven even though I had 3 intake fans and using a decent case. I have to switch some of the intake fans to more powerful ones and I might even upgrade the case since the video card barely fits the case.........

The graphics card and PSU will transfer to a new computer and the hard drive runs @ 7200 RPM.

Sounds like a dumb question, but do you have more than 1 outgoing fan? If you have more air coming in than coming out, the heat will build in your case faster.

I would not take the risk. If it does not fit, then simply transfer everything from the new PC to the old or another PC case.

I have 2 out going fan before. After some testing and stuff it seems better to have 3 intake and 1 out going on the top. The thing with the 6950 is that the fans takes the hot air away form the GPU but not enough to push it anywhere so having some in take fan actually helps. Vs my GTX 460 which seems better to have side intake as an out going is better. I guess coz of the difference design of the fans I guess.

buy the video card at memory express...if it doesn't fit return it in 7 days...no bullshit restocking fee like NCIX

Won't fit, installed a 4770 in my friends exact computer, shit barely fit had to bend and remove a few things, as well if you're up to the challenge to actually do it, installing a new power supply will be a pain and will block up the whole system and overheat

just open the case and measure from the card slot to the side panel... then you have the proper dimension to go with..



my new case (Coolermaster Scout) is nice.. heavy as fuck... it comes with 2 intake (2 front, 1 top, 1 on side panel) and 2 outtake (2 rear behinds CPU). I added another one just sitting under my dvd drive blowing into Ram/CPU. My CPU also has 2 (1 intake, 1 outtake) fans

It most likely would not. The card is approximately 11.5" for the ASUS GTX 570 DirectcuII. I have the card and I had to buy a new case to accomodate for the size of the card.

Check the clearance in your case, but if it's anywhere between 11 to 12 inches, it most likely would be difficult getting the card in there.

Note that the DirectCuII is a 3 slot card, I'm not sure about other manufacturers, but they could be slightly thinner only, but not any less in length. I would recommend an aftermarket case, as the case you have most likely wouldnt be too fluid for cooling neither. With a card like such, it'd be crucial to keep the temperatures as low as possible.
