Can a 10-Year-Old PC Handle an RTX 3060 in 2024? Ft. HP Z440 Workstation

In this video, I’m taking on the challenge of upgrading my 10-year-old workstation with an NVIDIA RTX 3060. Originally launched in 2014, my PC has served me well, but it’s time to see if it can handle this 2021 GPU upgrade. As a data engineer, I’m hoping this new GPU will help me run AI models and more intensive tasks that my old card just can’t keep up with.

I’ll walk through each step of the process, from removing the old GPU to carefully installing the RTX 3060, plus a few surprises along the way. If you’re thinking about breathing new life into an older machine, this video might just help you decide!
