[SOLVED] Does an Asus H97M-E/CSM work with an Nvidia Quadro 6000

[XxLiveLivelyxX]

Hello.
I am considering purchasing an Nvidia Quadro 6000 and I am wondering if its compatible with my motherboard, which is an Asus H97M-E/CSM

If you need more information, I'll be more than happy to provide it.

Thank you for your time.
A noob.

Im trying to upgrade the driver version using the radeon settings thing that comes with the cd; but it wont let me update it using the hub.

Edit: Found it online. Installing now.

So my parts arrived today. I installed my graphics card, and set up my monitors. I went and got myself a cheap hd lg 22inch monitor for now, and i'll also have my hdmi -> DVI adaptor.

I installed the drivers that were on the cd it comes with.

Restarted my pc.

And to my dismay, it doesn't run Fortnite any better than my other graphics card... why could this be?

and not to nit-pick, but I dont feel like images look as good as they could.

1. You do have the monitor plugged into the new gpu and not the motherboard video out??

2. Did you uninstall the nvidia drivers first?

If not download ddu

Run it, select to uninstall nvidia driver and software then reboot.

Edit: Nope. I am noob but not that noob

no i didnt uninstall the nvidia drivers first. I'll give that a shot!

 

[XxLiveLivelyxX]

my options are:
Clean and restart
Clean and do not restart
clean and shutdown

and on the right if I select GPU>NVIDIA
I get the option:
Set Windows device installation settings to default

BTW I am in safe mode

So i did eventually figure it all out. I am currently waiting for driver version 20.8.1 to finish installing and ill tell you if there are any improvements

 

[XxLiveLivelyxX]

its not too bad. I can run it in high and its okay. Epic not so well. thnk if I upgraded my cpu I'd have better results.

 

[XxLiveLivelyxX]

it runs re3 remake on full settings perfectly.. I guess fortnite is cpu intensive or something.

So, I don't think it was ever mentioned, looking back through here, what CPU you actually have. Motherboard is mentioned, but not CPU that I can see.

 

[XxLiveLivelyxX]

it is an intel pentium g3240

 

[madmatt30]

it is an intel pentium g3240

Yeah a straight dual core is going to really struggle on a lot of modern titles.

In fact quad cores can too

 

[XxLiveLivelyxX]

So I'd be wise to upgrade to a quad core then?

This is probably the least expensive option that makes any real sense at all.

But this is the option that makes the MOST sense, without spending any more than absolutely necessary. This also gives you the option to upgrade to a substantially better CPU later, without being out anything more than the 99.00 this CPU costs, if you decide to do so, and of course if that's the case you can always either sell this CPU to recoup some of the costs of the upgrade at that time OR keep it for troubleshooting purposes or for building another cheap system with.
