Gpu compatibility

[Someone69]

How can i check if a radeon rx 580 8gb

Is compatible with my Asus TUF GAMING Z690-plus WIFI ATX lga1700 motherboard and a 12600k cpu?

(And i know some of you will say like dont buy a 580 its quite bad for todays standard, but i dont play graphic intensive games, mainly minecraft )

The slot hasn't changed and is backwards compatible, it'll be fine but could force some pcie lanes into 3.0 mode, which isn't a big deal just something to be aware of

It will be, the only time GPUs arent compatible with anything is if they dont fit in a case, other than that any GPU should work with any motherboard/CPU.

 

As a seperate note, if you haven't already purchased the 12600k and motherboard, either a 5600g or a 5700g using the integrated graphics might be a better (and much cheaper) option. they are both excelent CPUs and their integrated graphics can still get over 100fps in minecraft at 1080p medium settings. they are also perfect for modded minecraft since mods make minecraft more difficult to run for the CPU but don't change anything for the GPU (other than shaders and high resolution resource packs obviously)

Arent intel cpus more "bang for the buck" right now?

Z690 should be able to run an RTX3090 or an RX 6900XT if you want to.

Yes they are if you are looking for the highest fps in demanding games, but in the unique case of not really needing a powerful GPU then the integrated graphics that come with the 5700g are still the best integrated graphics you can find on a desktop CPU, and the 5600g and 5700g are still good enough CPUs for you to be able to add in a good GPU in the future if you start playing any more demanding games or anything like that. the 5700g can also run almost any game at a playable framerate with just the integrated graphics at 1080p medium settings. the 5600g has slighly worse integrated graphics (and 2 less cores) but should still be a good choice for minecraft.

Any other options, cause i really want to use ddr5 memory, which amd 5000 series doesnt support

Well the build that you were planning in the first place was already a prety good idea. You might want to consider saving some money by going with a 12400 and then you could get an RX 6600 (have a look at rx 6600/6600xt/6650xt as well as rtx2060/2060super prices second hand if you dont mind buying used) which is a much better GPU. It wont go to waste in minecraft either, it will open up the posibility of playing with shaders.
