a PCIE question

[hardtofindinthefuture]

So, my crappy HP desktop "review" \/

Not signed in

Doesn't have a PCIE slot

But it does have a mini PCI one for the wifi card thing but its sideways...i think its M.2 IDK

So would it work to use a PCI riser and mount a GPU on that or will i waste money doing so?

Also note this:

The PC has a external power brick that plugs into the MOBO for power, and idk if thats an issue

 

thanks

miniPCI-E is only 1 PCI-E lane, AFAIK.  Don't really think you want to put a video card on that.

nothing you can do.

buy a old oem with i5 or i7 2nd gen desktop from ebay, change the psu and throw in a 480. the setup you are trying won't work because of the speed of the connection.
