Can work or not ah... IT experts can advise?

Can mod the connectors and use external psu.Nope.
80486 era PCs supported only 32bit legacy PCI bus. 5090 is PCI-E.
32bit PCI operating at 66 Mhz is capable of a bus speed of 266MBps
PCIE 5.0 which I assume is what a 5090 will use has a 16-lane bus speed of 64GBps.
Go do the math yourself.
Nevermind that the connectors and operating voltage are completely different lol.
Different bus voltage and clocks. Instruction sets also different. I suppose a really smart engineer might be possible to construct a hardware interface board that allows a 486 era device to actually use a PCIE GPU for basic video output.Can mod the connectors and use external psu.
moi IT noob cannot ask meh...Can dun ask these kind of questions?? The motherboard dun even have PCI-E slot required for modern day GPU....![]()
End up might as well just get a modern motherboard.Different bus voltage and clocks. Instruction sets also different. I suppose a really smart engineer might be possible to construct a hardware interface board that allows a 486 era device to actually use a PCIE GPU for basic video output.
pls gpgt the working 486 PC 1st...moi IT noob cannot ask meh...
i also dont know simi PCI-E slot, ask here first before bringing down to PC shop ask them help me to install
At one time, NASA was scouting around for these spare 8088/80286 cpus.If 8088 CPU can power Space Shuttle, then 486 is powerful enough for anything
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_design_process
The Space Shuttle program used the HAL/S programming language.[11] The first microprocessor used was the 8088 and later the 80386.
Bro your 486 smelly smelly also more than 20++ years liao... you sure you have a working 486 PC??moi IT noob cannot ask meh...
i also dont know simi PCI-E slot, ask here first before bringing down to PC shop ask them help me to install
I doubt even got USB port nor any SATA port lor...End up might as well just get a modern motherboard.
Powering up a 8088, 80286, 80386 and 80486 system does bring back the memories.
From Windows 3.11 to Win 95, there's really a wow factor. Today it's nostalgic to run a 80486 system in DOS mode. 8088/80286 see the base memory slowly counting to 640kb before the system boots.
