Title: XFX RX 480 with old hardware
Post by: h!ghC on March 05, 2017, 06:50:05 PM
Hello,
I have an old gaming PC which I don't use anymore and I don't pay electricity costs. So, I would like to use this PC for a little mining. I can get a used XFX Radeon RX 480 GTR 8GB for about 190-220€. But I am wondering if I can use it with my remaining old hardware:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (Kentsfield 65nm Technology)
- 4 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 399MHz (5-5-5-18)
- Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. P35-DS4 (Socket 775)
- ATI AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner)

Does the XFX RX 480 work with this setup? Or do you guys have another recommendation in this price category?

Thanks :)
