[SOLVED] can I build a computer and use a different GPU?

Hi, so I bought my new pc and every part has arrived except the GPU and I have a GPU that I think works but i'm not to sure. Can I give it a try so I can set it up and install drivers and activate windows then when I get my 2070 Super just put that in? I spent a lot on this pc and If I put the other GPU in that is a RX 570 from MSI whats the worst that could happen cause I know that if I was trying to do this with a PSU it could end badly but is it the same for the GPU?

what you are saying is possible. as long as your PSU will power the GPU

Yes you can use any GPU you want as long as your PSU is capable of powering it.

Yea it can power it 100% but I was wondering kinda the worst case scenario if I use my old RX 570 MSI.

None. I would recommend when you switch to the 2070 Super you use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely remove the AMD drivers before yo install the Nvidia ones, but outside of that there shouldn't be any issue.

Lol thanks I didnt even plan on installing the drivers for the GPU as it was temporary.

Windows will probably install them automatically.
