RIP Gigabyte 7950! Seeking advice for a replacement

[Ezyryder]

I've seem many examples of the RTX series running on LGA 775 / LGA1366 mobos. What cards won't work?

Now there are some mobos that won't work, but that's not because of an inherent incompatibility with a bios based mobo.

Good mobo's will support UEFI and won't have an issue, but better check than sorry.

I'm still running an I7 920 PC based system, and bought an AMD Radeon Sapphire Pulse RX 570 8 Gig card for £160... and that qualified for two free games. For 1080P and even that of 1440P resolution in games, it's been excellent in 1080P, maximum settings in games with good frame rates. It performs really well at 1440p also, and this was when playing Battlefield 3 & 4. Really smooth and no longer with slowdowns when using V-Sync which takes away that flicker effect you get when it's off. I created a music video with installation and Benchmark testing of my complete rig.

Thanks all, luckily my brother isn't using his GPU so he'll lend that to me until 3rd gen Ryzen are released and then I'll place my order! I'm debating whether or not to wait as there is always something else around the corner but I think we are so close to the release of 3rd gen Ryzen!
