As long as it has a PCIe slot to connect it'll work

Now if it's so old it's only PCI (or ISA ?   ) it won't !

Thank You!

Kinda, this depends how old you go. Some really old pcie 1.0 or 1.1 boards will not accept modern gpus, though that starts at a concerning level of hardware disparity, like a socket 478 system with pcie 1.0 alongside a GT 1030.

The cutoff is generally late lga 775, something with pcie 2.0, that won’t have a problem with any modern gpu.

Im using a lga 1155 dell oem board (no gpu whitelist) with a legacy bios and pcie 2 i believe

Should be fine, plenty of people out there are running things like 2500k’s alongside rtx 2060’s for some reason
