Do I need to worry about upgrading motherboard with GPU if its old or will it work okay just buying a new GPU?
minus-square486@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 days agoI am pretty sure that this is not true. While Intel Arc GPUs really should be paired with a mainboard with resizable BAR for performance reasons, they will still work without it, although with pretty bad performance.
