what GPU do i need for CodeProject.AI with my HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF?

What cameras do you have?
Most of us find the camera AI to be more than adequate.
Many have found the Coral USB to be problematic.
Many have found the CPU version of CodeProject to be easier to use and less hassles.
How many cameras do you plan to use CodeProject on? If just a couple try the CPU version first.
The GPU is not necessary unless you plan to run it on lots of cameras and the CPU is spiking.
Many here don't have a GPU.

For running CodeProject.ai, a dedicated GPU can significantly enhance performance, especially for AI tasks. The GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3050 OC you mentioned should work well with your HP EliteDesk 800 G3, assuming your PSU supports it and you have sufficient space. Regarding using your Coral USB stick, you can run TensorFlow Lite models efficiently, leveraging your existing setup. If you're primarily focusing on lightweight models or inference tasks, your Coral device might suffice without a dedicated GPU. However, for more intensive training or larger models, upgrading with the RTX 3050 would be beneficial. 
looking at this video, , gigabyte recommends 300w psu. meanwhile, my HP is only 180w.For running CodeProject.ai, a dedicated GPU can significantly enhance performance, especially for AI tasks.

so you are saying i can still install CodeProject.ai but choose a TensorFlow Lite model for Coral? i just need person detection. nothing fancy like facial/car/dogs/cats/etc...
i have a variety of IP cams...
1 Lorex 4k, wired
1 reolink 4k, wired
1 amcrest 2k doorbell, wifi
4 Tapo cams 2k, wifi
2 Galayou 2k, wifi
For what it is worth, the 3050 6GB will be a great choice for Code project AI and Blue Iris.
My personal requirement is 16 HD cameras running as efficiently as possible.
Low power usage to keep the power bill reasonable and help the UPS last longer.
The 3050 6GB in my system with 16 cameras handles the load just fine while using less than 70 watts.
Using CP AI explorer and my test images, inferences are around 30ms on Yolov5 6.2
I replaced EVGA 1650 cards which had inference times were around 200ms with the same test images.
Double check the specs on any card you consider to make sure it is only 70 watts and only uses the PCIe power without an additional connector.
This is assuming that you value power efficiency.

The issue with the HP EliteDesk 800 G3 SFF is the limitation it places on the power consumption of your chosen GPU yet maximizing the number of CUDA cores for AI. I have a PNY Nvidia T600 with 896 CUDA cores which at the time of purchase appeared to be the maximum achievable..
Obviously the downside with my PC is that it is not acceptable to Microsoft to update to W11, unless you own a Microsoft product with the same CPU that does meet their requirements to upgrade to W11, strange that.

Microsoft will let you install Windows 11 on unsupported PCs after all — what you need to know

Even if you don't have a TPM 2.0 chip
Microsoft updated its support page to warn users not to run Windows 11 on an unsupported PC, but the company also has official instructions on installing the operating system on devices that don't meet minimum requirements. Generally, that means PCs with a TPM 2.0 chip — a security chip required for Windows 11.
While the support page states there "might be malfunctions" and these incompatible devices "aren't guaranteed to receive updates," Windows 11 can still be officially installed and run on PCs.
