CPU’s & GPU’s

[Dave11]

Is it viable to have a AMD CPU and a Nvidia GPU?

Any do’s and dont’s with this combination?

It's perfectly fine. It's what I have (5600X and 3060 Ti), along with millions of others! In general, graphics cards are fairly intercompatible with other parts of the system: they work on a standard set of protocols (PCIe) and so are agnostic of the different manufacturers, certainly these days.

Thanks @sck451 appreciate the reply.

5800X and 3080 here. As @sck451 says, there's typically no problems with almost whatever combination of CPU and GPU you use.

God, imagine you couldn’t mix CPU and GPU brands and being stuck with pairing your 12900KS with the Arc 380…. 😂

you can mix and match any hardware as sck451 said , it can be a tad annoying updating but yeah its fine

recommend you use NVidia GeForce experience app

3080 nice gaming card

i hope you have a good monitor running 144hz to get best output from it

Assuming you're talking to me, I've got the ASUS ROG Strix XG27UQ which is a 4k 144Hz monitor. It's pretty good, but a little tricky to get one these days, but there are better models out there.
