Question RTX GPU compatibility with the old RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION Mother board

[prodviz]

Hi all

Have dug out my old PC and wondered if any new RTX cards are compatible with the old RAMPAGE IV BLACK EDITION motherboard?

Thanks very much

What is the make and model of your PSU and it's age? What GPU are you currently working with?

Just for fun I tried to plug-in my RTX-3080 OC into my old Gigabyte X97 2014 MB. Not even close to a physical fit. I was just messing around and would never seriously to run a RTX board on a non-windows 11 compatible ancient, by PC years motherboard. 2011 motherboard? Forget it. Windows 10 support ends a year from now anyway.

The PSU is a Corsair AX1500i and it's around 9 years old.
I have 3x Nvidia Titan Blacks on the motherboard, with 1x slot available.

Ah cool. If support for RTX cards ends on Windows 10 that kinda answers the question cheers.

Oh, just for info, my 'old' 😊 rig is as follows.

I'm umming and ahhing about what to do with the old boy.
Sell the whole thing, break the parts down to sell, or maybe keep and make a server at home? Any ideas would be cool cheers.

Rig:
1 x Corsair Obdision 900D Case

1 x Cosrsair AX1500i 1500W modular PSU

1 x Intel Core i7-4820K 3.7GHZ CPU

1 x Asus LGA2011 X79 Rampage IV Black Edition Motherboard

4 x Asus Nvidia GTX Titan Black 6GB Graphic Cards
Now 3x. I burnt one out when rendering.

1 x Corsair Vengence 32GB Kit (4x8GB) Memory
Upgraded to 64GB

2 x Corsair GS 240GB Solid State Hard Drives

2 x Western Digital 1TB 3.5" Sata BLACK Hard Drives

1 x ASUS DVD-RW

1 x Coolermaster Seidon 120V Watercooler
8 x Coolermaster Stickleflow 120mm RED
Upgraded fans to metal.

Microsoft's windows 10 support ends in about 11 months. No more updates, patches etc. RTX cards will work just fine. Your old PC is at a dead end. Have a decent burial for it. Put a RTX enhanced card in a machine that can really use it.
I know, all it takes is money. You have chosen a hobby that isn't cheap to keep current and competitive in.
My PC backup PC is a 2014 Gigabyte X97, 4790k, GTX-1080ti running windows 10. Next year I will make it a Linux machine which I am not really too excited about. Still waiting for Linux to mature for Joe Sixpack.

Rtx is just a naming scheme, it doesn't hint toward potential compatibility issues with older hardware. Uefi bios is the only requirement to be compatible with modern graphics cards since pcie versions is backwards compatible.

Good idea on the backup PC.

Was thinking too that the case is huge and I could just stick a load of drives in there and use as a server.

Interesting, so an RTX card would work.

Might test - basically V-Ray GPU rendering takes advantage of RTX so was seeing whether I could use my old rig or need a new one.

Cheers again.

There's no reason why it wouldn't.
