Posted October 17, 2020 Hi. It's my first time posting here and I really hope you guys could help me. So my Brother gave me a Zotac RTX 2060 6gb as a gift, a huge upgrade for my GT 210 1gb, but idk if it's compatible with my pc. I have a: intel i3-2100 Gigabyte GA-H61M-S1 (rev. 2.0) 8gb RAM 2x4gb 600w True rated PSU I have searched the web for answers and I found out that I need to update my BIOS with F10b version. Will it support RTX cards? Thank you in advance. PS: I'm really afraid to test the card and worried I might damaged it. I know it will be a huge bottleneck but I really don't have the money yet for an upgrade. And I'm really excited on using it. I really wish I could use it for now until I get an upgrade.

Posted October 17, 2020 It'll be a bottleneck for sure, but you shouldn't need to update your BIOS in order to install a new graphics card.

Installing the card will not damage it.

I'll try installing it without an update first and see if it'll work. 24 minutes ago, svmlegacy said: Installing the card will not damage it. Thanks for your answer! I'll try installing it, but not today. I still need my pc for homework. :1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
