3D help needed - upgrading from GTX 970 to GTX 2060

Post by makarastar »

Hi, all

My first post - found this site via the "Helix Mod" site.


I am about to upgrade my 2011 PC -

New parts -

A) Motherboard - ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F

B) CPU - Intel i5 9600-K

C) RAM - 16 GB of Trident Z RGB @ 3200 MHz


I currently have a 3D Vision Asus VG236H monitor - and when I got this in 2011, I vaguely remember something about needing to use DVI instead of HDMI (perhaps for 120 FPS instead of 60 FPS reasons...?)


I want to upgrade my Nvidia ASUS Strix Factory-OCed GTX 970


- the model I am thinking of is maybe an ASUS ROG Strix RTX 2060 (one of the variants with RGB lighting) - such as -


www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Axial-tech-Auto-E ... B0892TD5XD


1) Will I be able to game in 3D if I upgrade to a RTX 2060?


2) I don't want to change my monitor, as I like my 120 Hertz 1080p 3D monitor -

www.amazon.co.uk/VG236H-23-inch-Monitor ... B003W0JXBC

- will the Monitor be able to display 3D Vision via a RTX 2060? Or somehow bottle-neck it?


3) A LOT of new Asus Strix graphics cards no longer have DVI ports - so am I stuffed? Or can I use a HDMI to DVI adapter?


(Note - my monitor only has DVI and HDMI - NOT any "Display Port"...)


4) Will any of my new hardware listed above (Motherboard + CPU + RAM) cause any problems for all the above?


Many thanks!
