Help need a PC to run Indesign
- Thread starter rutabowa
- Start date
Exactly. Ive started messing about with 4K 10 bit video files. Those are big in today’s money.

I'm not seeing that anywhere on the page!
Are you guys viewing in a mobile browser?? Perhaps it's taking you to a different item because these are now out of stock as the OP purchased the last one.
That looks wrong anyway as that says 8gb ram and home edition of windows!
If the OP is worried, mail the vendor to be sure, as you don't want the wrong box being sent out. Who knows they might throw in the SSD for free if there's error (unlikely, but always worth a shot!)
What I see:
So as per this thread I got this PC:
and it has been great! I started doing a bit of 3D stuff though and the graphics card is too old to be compatible and keeps falling over.... So I need to update at some point.
The current card is Quadro FX 1700 which seems pretty ancient... not sure what other of the specs are relevant (memory interface 128 bit? Dedicated video memory 512mb DDR2?)
Adobe Dimensions, the 3D software I'm using, asks for this (required : recommended)
So my questions are:
Thank you!

| Processor | Intel Core i5 (2011 or newer), Intel Xeon (2011 or newer), AMD A8 or A10, or AMD Ryzen | Intel Core i7 with a frequency of 3.0GHz or higher |
| Memory | 8 GB OF RAM or more | 16 GB of RAM or more |
| Graphics card | nVidia GeForce GTX 1650 | nVidia GeForce RTX 2060, or Quadro RTX 3000 |
| Video memory | 1 GB | 4 GB |
| Video memory for GPU rendering (Beta) | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| OpenGL | OpenGL 3.2 capable system | OpenGL 3.2 capable system |
So my questions are:
- Is my system capable of being upgraded to run it?
- If so what do need to updgrade, and in what priority? I was assuming 1st the graphics card, and then adding an SSD drive.
Thank you!

From this page it suggests the card that in there needed a PCIe 1.0 x16 slot.
www.techpowerup.com
The minimum card listed in the table for your new software from looking at the cheapest version on Scan suggests it needs a PCIe 3.0 slot
www.scan.co.uk
The spec of the PC on HP website suggests it can support higher end cards of the time, I'm not sure if any of those will meet your needs, you may be able to pick one up cheap on eBay and swap them round:
I can't find a document at this time which says the exact spec of the PCIe slot in the PC and if it can support PCIe 3.0. Probably not would be my guess, but graphics cards are not my area of expertise. They may be smart enough to work at the slower speeds if the slot is exactly the same, but I can't give you a definitve answer, but hopefully I'm pointing you in the right direction of what to check.
