Is an RTX 4060 compatible with my PC?

Hello, I'd like to finally upgrade my GPU from a GTX 970 to an RTX 4060. Now I'm wondering if my PC is compatible with this card, or if I need to upgrade something else? I'll just list everything:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 4500

Power supply: 750W

Motherboard: MSI A520M-A PRO

RAM: Corsair 16GB

Existing GPU: MSI GTX 970

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

yes – the graphics card is compatible with the system. But I advise you about buying. You have a card with only 8 GB VRAM, that’s just too little. In addition, the card is only connected via x8. This is negative in the system (which runs with PCIe 3.0), as performance is lost. With an RX 6750XT you can handle both problems and don’t really pay more.

Too little for what?

€54 more for the graphics card.

Only for Office and YouTube and Netflix and so the 54 € are spent for free if you don’t do shock.

If that were the case, the FS would not want to upgrade…

Whoever made my demand with -1 is an insult.

Your system looks good overall for an upgrade to the RTX 4060. Here are some important points:

  1. Power supply: Your 750W power supply is more than sufficient for the RTX 4060, which has a maximum power consumption of about 115W.
  2. motherboard: Your MSI A520M-A PRO motherboard supports the RTX 4060. It has a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot that is compatible with the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface of the RTX 4060. However, there could be a slight loss of performance, as PCIe 4.0 is twice as fast as PCIe 3.0.
  3. CPU: Your AMD Ryzen 4500 should be able to support the RTX 4060, even though it could be a lightweight bottleneck, depending on the application and game.
  4. RAM: 16GB RAM are sufficient for most modern games and applications.

Overall, your system should be compatible with the RTX 4060 and you should notice a significant performance increase compared to your GTX 970.

Your power supply is definitely strong enough. Can you do, but the ryzen 4500 will affect your GPU a little.

With the motherboard and the memory should go
