I’ve got a 2060 gpu in my desktop and I want to upgrade to atleast a 3060. I’ve been using pc partpicker to check compatibility. Is there anything else I need to check before I buy a new card? Like I’ve got a Asus B560-plus motherboard and it seems that the 3060 card is compatible. Anybody got advice on any other sites or software to check so I don’t fuck it up? I’ve replaced most things on my pc except gpu and motherboard.
While your question has already been answered, i would like to add
Pcie is very compatible, its both backwards and forewards compatible (sure it wont be as fast but it will work)
Pretty sure you should be able to do something like takeing a rtx 5090 and a dremmel and puting it in a gen 1 pcie x1 slot
(Wether you cut the back of the x1 slot or cut the rtx 5090 is up for reader interpritation)
