Predator G3-710 Upgrade

HiHiThere

Hi was thinking of an upgrade for my PC's GPU to a GTX 2060 was wondering if its compatible with my spec and if I need to change anything.

Predator G3-710
Hardware configuration:
Processor: Intel i7-6700 CPU 3.40GHz
Memory: 16GB DDR4
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX980

Any help will be appreciated

Good Morning HiHiThere !

In Dash this was the closest model I found of yours.

From what I've analyzed, you should check the following:

The dimensions of the board you want to purchase to make sure it fits into the case;
The real power of your Power Supply because the GTX 2060 has high consumption;

Either way, it will be underutilized as final endings such as PCIe version and the final set of your hardware will not provide full support.

But it will already be a huge gain.

Good Morning HiHiThere !

What is the EXACT model of your G3?
Example: G3-710-Au01

It would be more matter of internal space (it occupies 2 rear mirrors) and as to the support of the energy source.

Hi @MaClane

Could only find the part number DT.B1PEK.010

Looks the closest to what I have.

There is not much of an upgrade available. The i7-7700 is only surpassed by the i7-7700K which gives you about a 15% increase in clock rate (from 3.6 to 4.2GHz) the rest of the K features aren't available on your motherboard.
