Question Will the RTX 3060 fit my motherboard?

[sleepcowboy]

I have a Biostar A320MH motherboard and want to purchase a 12 GB RTX 3060 in the near future. But first, I would like to ask concerned users if it will fit my current motherboard?

The pleasure is all mine, my friend. Be well!

Hi. It's me again. The other day I came across an overclocked 4060 from Gigabyte for the same price as the 3060. I would like to clarify, are they very different in performance or not so much?

The 4060 is likely faster in most comparisons.

Yes, I noticed that too. And what about PCI Express x8 4.0? Will it even fit on my motherboard the way it should?

Yes. The device is compatible. No worries.

Okay, thanks.

Okay. My PSU is an ATX 500W V2.31 from Ewent. And my case is the Genesis Titan 700. I also have an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 and 16 gigabytes of RAM with a frequency of 2400 MHz.

Hi guy.
Your CPU won't bottle neck ? Isn't it too weak for 3060 12g?
I paired i7-10700 with rtx 3060 and still in doubt for performance

All systems have some sort of "bottleneck". This is not a concern here...at all.

If I look for a suitable processor for the 3060, then I will have to dump even more, and at the moment I do not have the optimal budget for this.

I was thinking about upgrading the processor a bit later.

I suggest you guys completely ignore the whole concept of bottlenecks. Use what you can afford and don't sweat it.

Online calculators are garbage. ALL systems have some sort of imbalance (the very definition of bottleneck) that will limit some aspect/measure of performance.

Game on!

Thanks for the heads up. I feel the same way.

I'll let you know when I buy the 3060.

Sorry, I'm a little late in replying, but I still bought it. Not 4060, of course, but 3060, but there were reasons for that.

After purchasing the video card, I had to wait a little for the power supply, but now that I installed everything myself, I can say with confidence that I can now play Red Dead Redemption II and other games that have been collecting dust in my Steam library until now.
