Title: compability issues
Post by: kos21 on January 08, 2018, 11:18:14 AM

Hello
I have a gigabyte ga-ex58ud4p motherboard and I want to buy a graphic card gigabyte GeForce Gtx 1060 g1 gaming 3g.
I would like to ask you if the graphic card have compatibility issues or performance issues with the motherboard(because this motherboard is an old model and the graphic card is a new model)
Thank you

1st thing you should check is your PSU...it may not be up to the task...

Seems the 10 series cards are supported by your motherboard from Bios Version f6 and above. If you have an earlier Bios you may need to do a bios update to get the 1060 to display.
It won't damage the card to try it first, then if it doesn't work put the original card back in and try the bios update.

It's also important to be sure you have enough RAM to do what you want.
