would this gpu work with my build

[rawrturkey]

as the title says i'm looking to upgrade my two gpu's to one but i don't know if this card will work with my motherboard if not does anyone have any idea's

Why in the hell would you buy new GTX1080 for nearly 600gbp? That's a terrible value.

 

It will work fine though.

it was just a thought  what would you suggest instead?

You can get the RTX 2070ti for less than that price (545GBP if you buy from Denmark, probably cheaper if you search around)

RTX 2070? Vega 64?

 

Also, get a new power supply.

You can find RTX2070nfor around 500GBP, and it performs better than 1080.

ok and that will still work with my mobo?

Most PSU are ATX compatible. Which one to get depends on what kind of budget you have, and do you want it to be modular or not.

Will  you be upgrading the rest of the system soon?

If not, just get an RTX 2060 card.

i have a modular psu but someone said get a new one i thought 850w would be enough

i dont plan on changing the rest of the system anytime soon it works great but maybe a 2060 or 2070 would be good

Consider the CPU a bottleneck to anything high-end, especially on 1080p. As someone with a huge experience when it comes to CPU-GPU bottlenecks I can tell you there are situations where that old Haswell wouldn't even draw the max of a 1660 not to mention the RTX 2060.

 

An RTX 2060 performs some 15% slower than an RTX 2070 but costs some 30% less so it should be the obvious choice.

Even a GTX 1660Ti would perform superbly with your machine if you don't really need Nvidia RTX raytracing.

There's no need for you to go any higher if not using a resolution higher than 1080p.

 

Also, add more RAM.

I would highly recommend getting DDR4 RAM. If you do decide to change to DDR4 then you must get a different motherboard which is compatible with your desired RAM and CPU.

why would you recommend getting DDR4 ram?

its soo much faster which makes the overall feel better. it also isn't to much of ones budget , especially in this build.

OP doesn't plan on changing the rest of the system, DDR4 RAM is pointless for him.

on a ddr3 system? did i miss something?

the faster speed on DDR4 isn't gonna make gaming performance that much faster than DDR3, and how much do you think he has to fork out for a new cpu+mobo?

The system's motherboard & CPU would have to be compatible in the first place

 

Not only is the notch different from DDR3, but DDR4 has 288-pins compared 240 for DDR3. I know the large numbers on the clock speed achieved by DDR4 RAM is very impressive compare to DDR3 but real-life performance isn't even that different.

 

I went from DDR3-1333 (on a i5-4460) to DDR4-2866 and to be perfectly honest, the clock speed matters more to my AMD processor than it does to me. The difference in speed in regular real-life usage isn't even that noticeable.
