Posted April 23 I am planning on doing a Ryzen 7 7800x3D build. Right now I don’t have enough money to buy a new gpu. I currently have an ancient Asus R9 290x which I could use. But I don’t know if I will run into problems by using that gpu? My other possible option is to buy a second hand NVIDIA 2000 or 3000 series gpu for now. Until I can afford a 4000 gpu. If I can use the R9 290x. Will if I have to reduce the performance of the cpu to compensate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
