The B560 model isn’t that outdated, so compatibility concerns are unlikely. I’ve seen PCs from that generation too, and I’m curious if upgrading could cause similar problems. All of them currently use 3xxx series Nvidia cards, while the 5xxx models use PCIe 5. The main difference is that your 2080ti uses PCIe 3, which shouldn’t pose an issue.

I’m considering a few possibilities:
- The BIOS hasn’t been updated to support newer cards. Make sure to load the BIOS after updating the firmware.
- Could CSM be enabled with UEFI or is the motherboard only supporting UEFI? Enabling CSM might cause issues with RXT 5xxx if it’s active. If Windows couldn’t boot due to card detection, you may need to reinstall it and check the BIOS for GPU detection, then turn CSM back on.
- There might be a faulty card. I recommend reaching out to Gigabyte about your motherboard and the 5060ti model for possible solutions.
