Specifically, I have an i7-2600 with a Gigabyte Z68X-UD4-B3 motherboard.
My Radeon 6850 went kaput 🙁
I know which GPUs were best bang-for-the-buck back then, but I figure in the years that have passed better GPUs have been probably been released that are still compatible with my old PC (everything else is running great).
I have been out of the "scene" for a while so I thought I would ask
1) What should I be looking for in GPU compatibility for my motherboard
2) Is there a specific model range or year in which GPUs stopped being compatible
3) Are new GPUs made that are still compatible with this old motherboard or am I doomed to buying a used card?
4) Any recommended compatible GPUs that will give me a nice boost in power all these years later?
Thank you
