Upgrading mother board
Hello everybody, I'm as of now contemplating updating my Graphic card. I have GTX 1080 or . and thinking to move on RTX 2060 or GTX 1660-Ti However, Most of my friends guide me to upgrade the mother too other wise it would be extremely bottlenecked. What you think do i need to change my board too ?

But if you have a good gaming motherboard then it won't necessary. Which motherboard you're currently using ?

Your motherboard can easily handle and 1080, on the other hands it won't support RTX 2060. I think maybe an RX460 or a 1050ti can be supportable tooElijah wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2020 1:48 pmI am using ASUSTek M5A78L-M/USB3.

Thanks for the informative post. I will move to ryzen 3 processor/Motherboard and probably go with the 1660-TLucas wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2020 2:15 pm Your motherboard seems look good but outdated too. It can support both cards but it will effect on the performance. Upgrading the CPU would be a great deal too it will help to see vast improvements in the majority of situations.
If you have a good budged then buy GeForce RTX 3070. Since you're upgrading to new motherboard with processor then why not chose an updating card tooElijah wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2020 2:17 pmThanks for the informative post.

I will think about it in future but for now i will go with 1660-TBenjamin wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2020 2:18 pmIf you have a good budged then buy GeForce RTX 3070.
