sorry for the huge picture

Friend wanna play some PUBG mostly for now and hes looking to get a GPU for his computer. This is his specs




Im guessing since he has DDR 4 it wont be compatible as its DDR5 on the 1050 ?

Would it be even possible to add a GPU on his mobo?

Thanks

No the ddr4 is ram, totally unrelated to the graphics card

You want to check and see if it had a pci-e slot and enough room to fit the 1050 inside the case

from what i see this is the specs of his mobo which is called HP Lubin motherboard

Form factor: Customized: 20.5x22.0 cm (8.1x8.7 in)
Chipset: H270
Memory sockets: 2 x DDR4
Processor socket: LGA 1151
Expansion Slots:
One PCI-E x16 socket
One M.2 socket 1, key A
One M.2 socket 3, key M

I think it should be okay
PCI-E slot is there and I just googled that hp model and the case is big enough to put in the 1050

HappyPoopy saves the day.

You should be more worried about the power supply your buddy has. A prebuilt without a gpu usually means even worse quality psu. Adding gpu (more power) can fk it up

yaya hes aware of that



thanks man

Some GTX 1050 Ti require a power supply hookup.

This one, for example, requires a 6 pin cable from the power supply. Just make sure which card you're getting and what power supply requirements (if any) it may have.

/e Most of the GTX 1050 Ti do not require any cable from the power supply, but I would check to be sure.
You can always look up w/e card you are thinking about, on Newegg.com. In their pics section for each card, if it does require a power supply cable, it will be shown in one of the pics.

Didn't think of that. Good call bud.

Maybe
