[SOLVED] I am wanting to install a 2060 Rtx super video card but I realised I may need to do some upgrading. My motherboard is a K30BF_M32BF_A_F_K31BF_6.

I am wondering what the largest processor I can Install on this motherboard, or if I need a new one

Looks like the best compatible CPU with that is the A10-7800 APU.

Though I wouldn't put an RTX 2060 Super on this motherboard even with the best CPU for it. You would bottleneck your GPU a great deal.

What budget do you have for upgrades? Do you know what you have in your current rig?

AMD A10 7800
Zotac GT 950
Corsair 16gb ram
Windows 10 pro
1tb hd
Not positive on rest of info

1. A K30BF has either a 250W or 350W power supply, you're going to want a 500W.
2. Anything above a 1070 GTX is going to be held back by even the best CPU FM2+ has to offer.
3. A55 chipset supports up to Athlon X4 750K and from previous posts at the Asus forums I see a 750K working on that PC but they also used the latest BIOS updates.

Ok, so I would likely be better off buying a new motherboard or do I have to build a whole new setup?

You will have to build a new setup.

Edit: What's your budget?

$500 ,maybe a bit more at the moment. That's actually pretty decent price. I should have done more research before I ordered that card. Asus rtx 2060 super is what I have on way

 

[ThaBreez]

Thank you for the info!

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Well, if you get the setup above, along with the new card, you will feel a huge difference I think.

 

[ThaBreez]

Awesome, have made an order and I am pretty excited. Thanks again

What's not working with geforce experience?
The driver is not detecting your GPU?
Try both DCH and standard drivers from nvidia website.

I have a feeling I'm missing some updates or drivers. I have tried to manually download the nvidia drivers and they all say, not compatible with this version of windows. The power cable that came with card was too short(8 pin one end and 2 6 pin clips on other end) so I used one with psu (6+2 one end and 8 into psu) could that be a reason?

No, are you sure you are downloading the right driver for your windows? Choose Win 10 64 bit x64 if you have Win 10 64 bit.

 

[ThaBreez]

Yes I did a manual install and that did the trick. Card is now recognized and geforce is up and running. Appreciate you getting back to me. Thank you all is good!

Good. Glad it's working. Probably blasts your a10 out of the water.
