I was wondering if there was any issue on testing the R9 290 on an old motherboard (it's from a prebuilt, Dell Inspiron 660). As far as I know the motherboard is only transferring data so it shouldn't be an issue, right? Should I avoid heavy load?
I want to test the GPU in case it's DOA, as I might not be able to return it if I wait too much. But perhaps I can use it while I buy everything else?
I'm aware my system will be bottlenecked. I also bought a PSU with it (EVGA Supernova NEXB 750W).
