I Need Help With Upgrading my GPU

[Vod]

Hello!

 

I want to upgrade my Gpu.

I don't know what to look at to see if the gpu i want to buy is compatible with my mobo.

 

So give me some basics on what i should be looking at.

[Lurick]

Just about every GPU in the past 15 years is PCIe and almost all motherboards have PCIe slots so they'll be compatible 99.999% of the time.

The size of your case and your PSU will be the determining factors really. Also, what CPU and RAM do you have, so as not to overbuy on the GPU.

So if a Gtx titan can fit in my mobo i can buy it and use it?

I have 8gb or DDR3 and my cpu is AMD A6-5400K

If you have a case that can hold it, and a PSU that can supply enough power, then yes.

With that combo I would not recommend a titan at all due to major bottle necking.

You'll have a massive bottleneck pairing a Titan with this CPU. 

[asand1]

No offense, but your CPU is a potato and while a GTX Tiatn would work, you would only see 20% of its potential. If upgrading the whole system is not possible then maybe a GTX 750ti.

What gpu do you recomend i get without me having to upgrade anything else

Just save up for a full new build. 

[jaslion]

Well get a 1050ti. It will be bottlnecked and you really should just save up for a complete new system.

What games do you play/are you planning to play?

Also what your psu since that the deciding factor if this is going to work or no.

I'm holding my mobo user manual rn, and by the looks of it, it will probably fit.

And one more question, will it bottleneck?

Idk, like csgo,unturned, 7 days to die, and ark survival

[jaslion]

Those games are all cpu bound games. You will see some benefit in all but games like ark, cs and 7 days you will still be very much cpu bound (ark will most likely still drop below 30).

Will it be ok if i upgrade to Ryzen 3 2200G ?

[3 Lions]

The problem is that the A6 5400K is such a trash CPU it bottlenecks most graphics cards newer than it, that's why most of us are suggesting you save up to do a new build.

That would be the best plan.
