Question Graphic card compatibility

[Chongun]

Hello everyone,

I really need help, I have an old Nvidia 650, so I decided to buy a new graphics card (RTX 2060), but I am not sure if it's compatible with my motherboard.

so your help is appreciated, thanks.

Yes, it's compatible. It has one PCIe 3.0 x16 slot for the GPU (1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (blue)). Just make sure you update the BIOS of your system as well, if need be. Do you also have a compatible PSU with you ?

 

[Chongun]

Thank you so much!

 

[Chongun]

I will check the PSU and inform you, thank you!

Hello,

Here is my PSU:

 

[hang-the-9]

Should replace that power supply, it's what a kid would call "icky".

Model number seems to imply it's a 600 watt one, but 12v rail is in three rails and total of 450watts with a lot of wasted voltage on the 5v rails.

Also do a BIOS update if there is one before swapping.

Thank you !, I will replace the PSU, but can you please recommend a good PSU the goes well with RTX 2060, I am going to buy them from AMAZON

What is your Budget for the PSU ? And, also list the currency in which you are going to make the payment. Your current PSU is a basic generic Chinese model, not recommended for GAMING PCs.

Currency: USD
Budget: up to 200$

Okay. Within that budget you can easily gran any high quality PSU. For the RTX 2060 a minimum 500-550 Watts is required. You can increase the Wattage value, if you want some more extra headroom for OC, and future upgrades.

There are quite a few HIGH quality decent PSUs which I can recommend. Check the following links, and see whether you can grab one of these similar models. Like a said before, you won't be needing a very high wattage PSU for your PC, though you can buy one, if you have the budget.
