So I am looking to upgrade my Nvidia GTX 460 to the GTX 960. The 960 is at good price point for the performance I am looking for. Here are the specs of my system.
CPU: Intel i5 @ 2.8 GHZ Quad Core
4GB RAM
Motherboard: ASRock H55m/USB3.0 R.20 (PCI-E 2.0 GPU Port)
GPU: NIvidia GeForce GTX 460
600W Power Supply
I was going to purchase the 960 today, but the sales clerk said that my motherboard was too old to support it. He said that the BIOS did has not had any recent update and therefore the mobo would not recognize the card. I have searched online, and nowhere else has mentioned BIOS as a limiting factor for installing a new graphics card.
If I can install it, is it worth the upgrade? Is my PC strong enough to harness enough power from the new graphics card?
Thanks. Sorry if I don't know what I am talking about.
