Question Will GTX 1660Ti work with DQ77CP Motherboard?

Just making sure...

Yeah, it will work just fine.

You will most likely need a BIOS upgrade, but according to Intel's documentation it's out of support...

Cheers!

He wont need a bios update to run a GPU.

Yes, he will in some old model boards because of the PCIe 2.0 to 3.0 jump and other improvements.

Cheers!

The MOBO is out of support? So, therefore, I don't need to upgrade BIOS?

Depends on when was the last BIOS upgrade they put out in the wild. My girlfriend's Asus P8Z77-V had it's last update around 2013, which I needed to upgrade to the RX-590 I bought for her in... 2017? I can't really remember.

Long story short, if you've never upgraded the BIOS and the GPU just doesn't work, this might be the reason why.

So basically if my BIOS is at the latest version I can buy it and it will work fine and if not I just need to update it and it will work perfectly as well?

That is the theory.

If you want first hand experience reassurance, I do not have it.

Cheers!

Ok, thanks. But I'm pretty sure we're overlooking this... I'll buy it plug it in and everything will be grand. There should be no problem at all.

It will still work with an older version of the bios. The worst case is it will run in PCIe 2.0, which is still more than enough bandwidth for a 1660ti.

It wasn't my and other's experience though. The PC would not boot until I upgraded the BIOS.
