Hi,
I am thinking about equipping my 10 year old desktop computer with a 1080 Ti for deep learning, but I am worried that my current hardware won't be compatible with such a modern card.
Current hardware:
CPU: Intel R i7-920
Video card: Nvidia GeForce Gt 240
Motherboard: Asus P6T Deluxe V2
PSU: Corsair CX600 (this one is about two years old and have been used for less than an hour since purchased)
RAM: 6GB DDR2
My main concern is that I could damage the expensive 1080 Ti by trying to use it directly with my machine. I am quite the novice when it comes to hardware, so any insights would be useful.
