can a foxconn 2ada run a windforce gtx970

[Lemiwinks]

very new to this stuff but every forum has a different answer and is full of people with opposing statements

Run it? Yes, but what is your CPU? What about your PSU?

 

[Rogue Leader]

That board has 1 PCIe 2.0 x16 slot which YES will run that card.

However that board is older as are the processors, even the fastest processor for it will bottleneck that cards a bit. Now that likely won't make the game unplayable but you may have to tweak it accordingly.

On top of that of course you need to make sure you have a good quality PSU to power it of course.

An i5 2500 would run a 970 no problems. You would see frame loss/performance drop by 1-5%.

PCIE 2.0 to 3.0 was a marginal increase.

If he has anything under a i5 2400, then we would see big bottlenecks, since under the 2400 is the i3 series.

I agree, that said a lot of Foxconn boards come in prebuilts with lower processors, so for example I don't expect he has an i7-3970x in there. Just wanted to tamper expectations.

I'm not currently home but from memory i5 4590 sounds about right and yes I'm currently on the lookout for a decent psu

If you have a i5 4590 you do not have a Foxconn 2ADA motherboard, because the 2ADA is an LGA1155 socket, and the i5 4590 is an LGA1150 processor.

Maybe i5 2500?

ok, i am home now it seems i was pretty far off but to me these are strange 4 digit codes. according to speccy i have an i5 3450 running @ 3.10ghz

Ok sounds more like it. That would pair very well with a GTX 970, should work perfectly. Anyone who tells you it would not work doesn't know what they are talking about.

Now also make sure of course you are using a good PSU, whats the brand and model?

not sure yet, im probably not going to go with a brand new gpu/psu because theres quite alot of second hand 970s around i saw a secondhand 650w xfx xtr in my area last week

Thats a good choice on PSU.
