Hello, I have a few questions!
I. Motherboard
Motherboard's name: H310M PRO-VDH PLUS
1. Will this motherboard fit a i5-9400 CPU and 2666 Mhz DDR4 RAM sticks?
2. Does it require a BIOS update?
3. Is it better than B360M PRO-VD or worse? Why?
Please take a note of "VD" and "VDH" to not get confused.
II. GPU
What is the best budget GPU for i5-9400 CPU? And also to not get too much of a bottleneck?
Is RTX 3060 a good choice? What is the minimum & recommended PSU power for it?
I aim for 1080p 60fps and I prefer NVIDIA (idc about RTX that much) unless there is a very good reason to go AMD/Intel. The new budget Intel ARC cards don't seem that good if I'm not mistaken. Why would people go for them? Price?
Now let's say I decide to get a RTX 3060 GPU and not AMD/Intel equivalent of 3060. What do I gain or lose besides performance and price?
For NVIDIA I get access to DLSS, for Intel XeSS. FSR works on all GPUs. Is XeSS any good?
III. RTX & Freesync/G-Sync
1. Is RTX still a NVIDIA exclusive thing? Do AMD/Intel have their own solution?
2. Will Freesync (lowest tier, not Premium or Premium Pro) monitor work on a NVIDIA GPU?
3. Does Intel ARC support G-Sync or is it Freesync only?
IV. VRAM in 2023
New games require more and more VRAM and high performance cards with not enough amount of VRAM are getting obsolete because of it. How true is it?
Did NVIDIA release a lot of "low" (because of modern games VRAM requirements) VRAM cards unlike AMD? I heard AMD wasn't shy to give more.
Is 8GB of VRAM enough nowadays or should people aim for 12+ GB when getting a new card if they want to be future-proof? Or just in general?
Thank you!
