Hi,
I have an ASUS H81M-P mainboard and would like to install a new gaming graphic card. Is the GTX 1060 with 6GB compatible? Thanks for any hint! Klaus |

Klaus The card will hang over empty space, due to the small size of the motherboard (7.0"x7.5"). Normally microATX is 9.6"x9.6". But this should not cause a problem at all. The heel lock and faceplate screw still serve to hold the card in place. The board takes up to 4790K, you could easily have 16GB of RAM as 2x8GB, so you should be able to make a gaming platform from it. Make sure the power supply is big enough, and you have enough air cooling in the computer case. The OS type will be 64-bit, as only a 64-bit OS has the address space to run such a card. It would be a useless card on a 32-bit OS. Other than that, it should follow the appropriate electrical standards and should work. Paul |
