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.
This 100%. I upgraded from an RTX2060 to an RTX4060 then 6 months later sold that and bought an RX9070.
I now feel like I have a card that will last me for a long time rather than a bandaid upgrade that’ll do another 1-2 years.
OP, the only thing you need to worry about compatibility-wise is if your PSU (power supply unit) is enough. You can look up TDP (total draw power) for your CPU and prospective GPU and if it’s less than your PSU with some headroom (100w or so usually) you’re good to go. I believe pcpartpicker shows you power requirements anyway if you want to just plug your whole build in there.
I checked my PSU capacity and I think it’s like 400watts I gotta double check but I think I needed an extra 40 watts for the rx 9070
