Do I need to worry about upgrading motherboard with GPU if its old or will it work okay just buying a new GPU?

    The bus speed just translates to how quickly data can be transferred through the mobo to your card to be processed/rendered. I’d just pop it in and configure it, then run a benchmark program, which will tell you where your bottlenecks are. In terms of functionality there’s no reason it shouldn’t work, but don’t expect newer AAA games to run at full spec.
