I'm considering upgrading my graphics card from a 3060 to a 5070 Ti, and I want to confirm if my ASUS Prime B550-Plus motherboard will support this upgrade. I am also running a Ryzen 9 5950X CPU. Will it be a good match?

Absolutely, it will be compatible! Just a heads up though, your older CPU might hold the GPU back a bit in terms of performance. But overall, it's still a solid upgrade over the 3060!
Your motherboard won't be the issue—just enjoy your upgrade!
Yes, your motherboard has a PCIe x16 slot, so it will work with the RTX 5070 Ti without any issues.
You may want to check your PSU requirements too. The 3060 uses 1 x 12 pins while the 5070 Ti will need 1 x 16 pins. Just keep in mind that power requirements can vary by model.
I suspected that might be the case, but it’s good to know it won't be a major problem. Thanks!
