Type X3 video card and CPU upgrade

Any mobo with Legacy bios is fine I use a Intel desktop board from 2012 that I got from eBay for cheap.

You can use a UEFI bios mobo but you need to convert the file system on the image so its easier to use a Legacy bios board.

Thank you. I was able to boot it. Next question is I have a AMD Radeon Gpu, so when I load it up it runs super slow, basically running off the cpu only. Does it have to be NVIDIA only? How can I make Radeon work? Thank you.
 
The original TTX games were written for NVIDIA GPUs (all TTX revisions used Nvidia) and only NVIDIA drivers are included with the image. You can load ATI drivers on from a flash drive and that will get a few titles working but for full compatibility and minimal crashing you should use an Nvidia GPU.
 
So what GPU is considered the best bang/buck upgrade path for the Type X3?

I'm looking to play APM3 games like DOA6 so from what I've read it's a toss up between:

1. 1070
2. 2060

Both are close to the same price.

CPU upgrade consensus seems to be i7 2600

and RAM upgrade consensus seems to be: Not necessary.

So what GPU would you go for? I know we have space considerations to think about inside the case, but also, what about the PSU pins? Will the 1070 or 2060 work with the stock PSU in the TTX3?
 
I used a 2060 in my ttx3. works with artax image with 0 issues. you will have to flash the bios though
 
I just tried a EVGA 3060 and it doesn't post even with new bios.
 
Correction the 3060 doesn't work in any PC I have, so I have to see if I can RMA the card, or if it's a bios issue, as the fans turn, and it seems to respond, but won't post through the card... on any MB I have,,,,
 
if you have usb drive, and get into explorer on the artax image, you can install new drivers. I did that with my 2060
 
Sure that would work if I could see the screen, the PC, or any PC I've tried that card on doesn't Post (No Bios) during boot with that card...
