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.

    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

      Oh yeah, 400 prob wouldn’t be enough. I have an XFX Swift 9070 and it’ll pull up to 245w. Most CPUs are 65w to 120w IIRC.
