Asked By CuriousCat83 On

I'm using an i5 4570 with a low profile 3050 GPU. I'm curious about how much performance I might be losing by running this GPU in a Gen. 2 slot instead of a Gen. 3 slot. Can anyone help me understand the potential impact on gaming performance?

You could be losing around 10-20% performance by using that GPU in a Gen. 2 slot. It's not insignificant, but it really depends on the specific games you're playing and their requirements.

Is that noticeable? Could you give me an example of FPS in some popular games like Call of Duty or Fortnite?

Do you think that setup could still handle PC VR gaming?
