Hey guys n girls. My first post...
I want to upgrade my old 660 gtx to a newer 980 Ti graphics card and because its quite expensive,before I buy it,I was wondering if its even compatible with my pc and motherboard? I know the bios is almost 2 years old so will I have to update it? Theres enough room in the case it seems but I'm just worried that some other problem might pop up like the motherboard thing.Any advice would be awesome,thanks in any case 😀
