1650 for old pc

[MightyNerdy9]

Hey guys , im using my fairly old pc , 

i7 6700

gtx 980ti 

gigabyte h170 d3h 

16gb ram 

 

And i want for now until i will buy a new rig to upgrade my pc lil bit and i found a good price on the gtx1650 

 

will it fit and work good with my specs ? 

 

thanks

It will fit and work fine, but the 'upgrade' is pointless, because it is slower than the card you already own.

For this even say a 3070 would be fine. Your good.

How long until you build your next PC, and what GPU are you planning to get for it?

 

It's not a bad idea to buy the next GPU you want and just use it in your old PC for now. Yes it will "bottleneck", but that just means it will still be relevant when you upgrade everything else later (unlike a 1650).

 

Besides, I think your GTX 980 ti is generally faster than the 1650.

Thats a downgrade. The 1650 is up to 40% slower.

Also don’t upgrade to that because as @Tetras mentioned it’s worse than 980 Ti. I would recommend a 3060 Ti.

so in my conclusion , i will just upgrade my ram and add more ssd for now , im planning and hope that it will least for at least more 1.5/2 years

If you don’t already have an ssd that will be a noticeable performance increase for that system. Your board supports nvme ssds, and you don’t need a super fast one since it’s just pcie 3.0 nvme. Reinstall windows on that and if you’re coming from a hard drive it’ll be a night and day difference.

Yeah, and that should be plug and play with the top nvme slot on your board.

You have plenty of RAM as it is, and the RAM you buy won't work in your next computer.

That's a better place to spend your money. Don't worry about specifically finding a Gen3 SSD, because PCIe is forwards and backwards compatible.

i'm so sorry , i have now 8gb and i wrote that i have 16 , one is broken i think because if u remember my post about the i had a problem with my pc so me and my friend fixed it and we figured it out that it was a ram problem and than when i formated my pc i discovered that the windows only shows me 8gb instead of 16

A downgrade indeed. The 980 ti still rocks and rocks even more if you can get a good stable overclock.
