Hello,

I wanted to install an Nvidia GTX950 to my system to upgrade from my old GT8800 which can't play newer games. I came across a post in which it was said that you should upgrade your BIOS in order for the new card to run. Well i have 2 questions:

1. Can/Should i upgrade my GPU from GT8800 to GTX950 so i can finally play Watch_Dogs, GTA V maybe even Fallout 4?

2. If i can install the GTX950 will i have to update the BIOS or something else, and if yes how?

P.S: I have searched at my mobo's website and couldn't find any updates or something :/

My Motherboard is an ASUS P5Q (I know...old :( )

Rest of the system:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64x Bit
Proccessor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
and My Power Supply i think it's limit is 480 W

Thanks for any answer in advance!
