Is Hewit-Packard 2AF3 MB compatible for a Nvidia 980 Ti

[RedHaze1911]

Hey guys n girls. My first post...

I want to upgrade my old 660 gtx to a newer 980 Ti graphics card and because its quite expensive,before I buy it,I was wondering if its even compatible with my pc and motherboard? I know the bios is almost 2 years old so will I have to update it? Theres enough room in the case it seems but I'm just worried that some other problem might pop up like the motherboard thing.Any advice would be awesome,thanks in any case Very Happy

The 980Ti will work in the " PCI Express x16 Slot 1 "

The GTX 980 Ti needs at least a 600 Watt PSU, and both an 8 pin + a 6 pin PCIe power connector. The motherboard chipset should support the video card without problem, but your current PSU is likely too weak for that video card.

A GTX970 is about the same power draw as the GTX660 you have now, so the 970 should work with your current PS.

Much newer BIOS ROM update for that board/system:

80.24 - sp69769.exe
