HP EliteDesk 800 G3 gaming desktop

The HP EliteDesk 800 G3 is a small form factor gaming desktop built around an Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.2 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory, a 256 GB M.2 SSD for fast boot times, and a 1 TB hard drive for bulk storage. An NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 graphics card with 2 GB of video memory handles visual output. The system includes a wired gaming keyboard, a wireless mouse with backlighting, a USB Wi-Fi adapter, and Windows 10 Pro 64-bit pre-installed. Front panel RGB lighting is adjustable via a supplied remote control.

GT 1030 2 GB graphics limits

The GeForce GT 1030 2 GB is an entry-level discrete card designed for modest gaming workloads. It can run popular online titles such as CS GO, DOTA 2, and GTA V at medium settings with playable frame rates. The 2 GB video memory buffer restricts texture quality and resolution options in more demanding modern games. This GPU does not support hardware-accelerated ray tracing or AI upscaling technologies. Performance will plateau quickly when moving beyond 1080p medium presets in newer AAA releases.

16 GB DDR4 memory and dual-drive storage

The 16 GB DDR4 configuration provides comfortable headroom for multitasking, multiple browser tabs, and background applications alongside a game. The 256 GB M.2 SSD ensures rapid operating system boots and quick application launches. The 1 TB hard drive adds substantial capacity for game libraries, media files, and documents. Storage-intensive users with large modern game collections may find the 256 GB SSD fills quickly, requiring manual management of install locations between the two drives.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB SSD or the 1 TB HDD for my main games?

Install the operating system and your most-played titles on the 256 GB M.2 SSD for fast boot and load times, then use the 1 TB HDD for larger libraries and media files.

What does the 3.2 GHz Core i5-6500 actually deliver in everyday use?

The quad-core 3.2 GHz processor handles multitasking, streaming and general productivity smoothly, while the GT 1030 2 GB provides playable frame rates in titles such as CS GO, DOTA 2 and GTA V at medium settings.

Does the GT 1030 2 GB use a PCIe slot and will it fit the slim chassis?

The card is a low-profile PCIe model designed for the small-form-factor case, so it fits without modification and draws power directly from the slot.
