[SOLVED] Graphics card upgrade. Compatible with motherboard?

[0bened0]

So I have a machine that was built for me 5 years or so ago (mainly to run 3DS MAX and Photoshop), that has an Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 as it's graphics card. Updates in my software now seem to be causing it some trouble and I'm looking to upgrade to something a bit more modern. I'm not hugely into the tech side (definitely a user) and I need some advice on compatibility with my motherboard. It has a Supermicro X9DAi (https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/xeon/c600/x9dai.cfm) motherboard, which I think means the graphics card slot is PCIe 2.0. I want to get something like the Asus Turbo GeForce RTX 2060 running on it.

Easy, or impossible?

It should run.
Just make sure you PSU is up to snuff.....as in ...enough wattage....good quality.

Cool. I'd have to check my PSU for it's wattage. Any idea of what wattage is needed on one like that?

Your fine the 2060 card uses a lot less power than the GTX 770.

Thanks for the help, people! Got myself a RTX 2060, now everything works properly!
