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.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
Ah cool. If support for RTX cards ends on Windows 10 that kinda answers the question cheers.Just for fun I tried to plug-in my RTX-3080 OC into my old Gigabyte X97 2014 MB.

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

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.
Interesting, so an RTX card would work.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.
