Question Does AsRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 support RTX 3060/3060ti

[ripperazmain]

I have a Ryzen 5 3400G paired with an AsRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4. I am looking to buy a High-End GPU for Gaming/Work purposes. I checked on the internet and found that this motherboard has PCIe Gen3, but most RTX 3060/3060ti I found supports PCIe Gen 4. I also heard that PCIe is backward-compatible too.

So, I am pretty confused about this. If someone helps, It would mean a lot! If the Motherboard doesn't support this GPU, then what's the best GPU I can get that supports my Motherboard under $400-$500? I can upgrade the Motherboard to a much recent one, but that would be outta my budget at this point! So, please suggest me :')

You will not run into issues plugging that Gen 4 card into the Gen 3 mobo. It is still rather "in the air" the benefit of the increased bus speed.

That is a darn decent board. I liked them enough to have purchased two of them over the years (in the mITX size)

What case and PSU do you have?

I’ve got the AsRock ab350 pro 4, which if you look it up, as I recall looks pretty similar to the fatality board. In any event I’m using a 5900x with currently a 6700xt on my board with no issues so I think it you should be good to go.

Currently using Corsair VS450
I'll Upgrade to a Corsair or Thermaltek 750w PSU when I do buy a GPU

Really? That's a relief!
Thanks bro

I haven’t used a recent nvidia gpu more recent than a 2070 in there but it was ok as I remember. You may lose a slight bit of performance from pci e 4 to 3, but from the stuff I’ve read you aren’t taking more than 2-4% percent in most cases.
