I have a PC that I got from someone else who built their PC and it is finally starting to show its age. Sometimes when I open applications, the frame rate drops.
I think it is using one of these currently, from 2014. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/900-series/
I know that gfx cards have to be compatible with your Power Supply, and your PCI-E slot, but not sure what else I should know??
I would like to get something very compatible with Linux, Firefox, and Wayland, with lots of hardware codecs. Intel ARC?
How do you learn all this stuff?
Just a heads up. I would strongly suggest you don’t recommend an ARC GPU on a motherboard missing rebar support. It’s critical for them to run correctly.
This motherboard does have bios. I am learning about Resizable Bar (https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/what-is-resizable-bar-and-should-you-use-it) I thought it was metal for structural integrity at first. Those graphics cards are getting pretty big…
