I have an older inspiron 580 that I have brought out of retirement so I can run windows 7 on it. I know graphics cards are backwards compatible and the motherboard has a PCI-e x16 lane on it. I'm guessing it is probably 1.0 but would something like a GTX 1060 6gb be severly bottlenecked? Or would I be good putting in something like the gtx 1050? I sort of have one of both sitting around doing nothing and I want a machine running windows 7.
Additional information:
i5 - 650 (3.2 GHZ) 2 core, 2 threads
450 watt power supply
8 GB DDR3 ram.
