Yeah, mainly due to the operating system though, as said below.
The only incompatibilities that can really arrive are from newer versions of operating systems, but most older games will be fine.
But how old are the games you speak of?
Picking such a GPU won't really matter. I mean why would you be putting together a brand new build for a bunch of old games?
The reason I'm putting together a new systen is because the old one died a few months ago and id rather have a card that will last me a longer than the older 750ti. I will mostly be playing older RPG's such as the Final Fantasy series, Pillars of Eternity etc
Yes thats what I'm worried about, If I got that shiny new 1060 and couldnt play Final Fantasy IX id be gutted.
Windows 10
GPU - Make sure to have up to date drivers, and get Nvidia Physx as well.
Motherboard - Make sure it's Bios is up to date.
Some really old games use older things, like OpenAL, or etc...
But because the OP has windows 10 a gpu upgrade shouldn't break older games
Just yesterday I played Phantasmagoria and The 11th Hour on my 1080.
I've yet to run into a game that doesn't work on Windows 10 with newer hardware. Some games need to run in compatibility mode and a few tweaks here and there... But that's really because of the OS.
The games I want to play are on Steam and I have already played a few on my old system on Windows 7 without a problem but that had an old ATI Radeon 4850 GPU. I'm not worried about the OS just comptibility with newer cards. Is there a site that lists the cards that games are compatible with? For example the recommended system requirement for Final Fantasy 9 is GTS8600 but doesnt tell me if a later card is fully comapible.
Actually I was only looking at the 3GB version
