Nice video explaining most of the compatibility related things to consider, but I would like to point out to also pay attention to CPU bottleneck, as I feel like it is a very underrated topic in general on RUclips and elsewhere. I am writing from my personal recent experience here. Recently an AMD Radeon R9 280X graphics card (stock - never overclocked) died in my personal Gaming PC build from 2014. I am still running Intel Core i5-4670K processor (stock - never overclocked - only running OC Genie on the MSI Z87-G43 ATX Motherboard for the last couple of days, which is a very mild overclock for the CPU and RAM 16GB DDR3 1600MHz), as I didn't feel the need to upgrade over the last couple of years. I would like to build a new gaming PC soon, but I am currently waiting for the big AMD Navi graphics cards to be released. Anywho, I digress. So, what happened is I have researched the current new AMD graphics card market pretty extensively and researched the "bottleneck" term and other compatibility problems related to CPU and GPU working together. I did all of this before purchasing a new graphics card that would replace my old and dead AMD Radeon R9 280X graphics card. So, in the end, after a lot of comparing and stuff, I decided to go for AMD Radeon RX 590 graphics card, as the value for money is very good in my opinion when looking at the current new market where I live (UK), and then the problems continued... Once I installed the new AMD Radeon RX 590 graphics card into my current gaming PC and launched Battlefield V (which is my main favourite game for the past few months), I started experiencing severe stuttering (unplayable for me), random crashes, freezing in game, etc. So, I monitored the CPU and GPU usage, and both were near the 100% mark, for the GPU 100% usage is good, but for CPU 100% usage is not so good as it means CPU bottleneck, which I feel is the reason for the bad experience that I am having with the new graphics card. So, in conclusion, do not purchase a graphics card that is more powerful than your CPU. I think that most RUclipsrs and other Tech people do not really mention this problem and assume that everyone is or should be using very powerful CPUs. I just felt that I should share my experience with you guys so that you can avoid this hassle. I am going to be returning the graphics card and purchasing a different one, one that is more suitable for my current CPU. I am thinking about getting AMD Radeon RX 570 graphics card from the used marked, as I found very nice deals on Ebay.co.uk for manufacturer refurbished model and therefore it is very good value for money and nice performance for what it is. Finally, remember to take your desired monitor resolution and refresh rate into account guys. I am using 1440p 144Hz. I know that my current gaming PC build is more suited for 1080p, but ohh well, I am going to upgrade soon anyway... maybe... 😂🤣 Amen. Take care and happy gaming folks! 😎😉

The specs are as follows: intel core i5, 16gb ram, and that’s pretty much all I know lol. So, on the the point, the graphics card was too big for the pc so I had to cut out some of the side to fit it on the motherboard, but when I connect it there is no display (I’m using a TV because the monitor didn’t come with an HDMI port). Is there anyway you can help? Again I have no idea what I’m doing and I don’t know if I need another cord or I installed it wrong, but the bottom line is that it won’t display on the screen when I turn my PC on.

I have a MSI h410m-pro as a motherboard and thinking of upgrading my GPU from a 1650 to the new rtx 3050 that's coming out this week, im still not sure if it would work. Would somebody know ? This motherboard has PCI-e 3.0 and i saw that the 3050 has 4.0. But i also saw on a website saying its backwards compatible so a 3.0 would work on a 2.0, which would mean a 4.0 works on a 3.0 but im not a tech guy just a regular computer user with basic knowlegde so hence why im asking this. Sorry for my English its not my native language, Thanks for anybody helping !
So I want buy the msi gtx 1070 armor 8gb OC. and my case is sharkoon bw9000-w. pretty much every hdd/ssd tray is occupied. So max gpu length would be 29.3cm and the msi one is 279mm. Only 1cm space is left. Is this recommended or should I buy a shorter card?
Shouldn't be a problem as far as i know. For instance, my cpu cooler is only 1cm off the max height supported by the case and it has never proven to be an issue
I just installed an ASUS GTX 1060 (duel fan) 3gb, I have an AMDfx(tm)-8350 eight-core processor, 8gb of ram I removed all the old graphics drivers and I get only minor performance change despite 1060 still being a fairly good card any suggestions?
Will a zotac 1060 3gb work on my old 2012 gigabyte ultra durable mobo also rn I’m using a EVGA gtx 670 with a old 2012 i5 and a 750 watt psu?? I’m asking because I’m slowly upgrading my pc and I desperately need a new gpu
To simplify for everyones instead of watching the whole video a graphics card fits a slot this slot = pci express x 16 slot. Every motherboard designed for gaming will have a pci express x 16 slot. If you bought a pc with an amd or nvidia based gpu your motherboard will have atleast one pci express 16 slot. There are 3 types of pci express x 16 slots/ gpu teeth which are pci express x 16 [1.0 , 2.0 , 3.0] lower end gpus have a 2.0 pcie slot higher have a 3.0 slot. mother board slots are backwards compatible so a 3.0 gpu will work on a 2.0 pcie slot etc. The only negative is a 5 fps decrease using a 2.0 pcie slot on a 3.0 gpu. So in short you will never be able to buy an incompatible gpu or motherboard. The only thing you then have to worry about is size and whether your gpu will fit in your case so I recommend you get measurements and measure your case to see it fits. Check you also have enough vram 4GB 8GB etc
I'm trying to be very specific here, and possible (if you could check it up) since i've been googling like a madman the past 3days and found nothing, lol. I just ordered a new graphics card: Asus GTX 1060 dual OC 6gb. My current specs are: i5 4440 @3.1ghz MSI B85M-E45 (m-atx) motherboard 550W Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold PSU 8gb vengeance DDR3 ram @ 666mhz dual-channel. My case is a Komplett Gamer i05 case, from 2013/2014. (it's a mid tower, well enough space for the card itself). Will this Asus GTX 1060 dual OC 6gb fit on my motherboard? What worries me is if it would touch either the ram-memory holders or the sideway SATA port at the end of the mobo. Quick response would be highly appreciated! thanks
Hi! Judging by the images I have found of that motherboard and my general knowledge of PCs, here's what I can say: 1. The card shouldn't interfere with the RAM slots. The way graphics cards are built means that it will only take up space below the PCI-E slot on the motherboard and not above it (where the DIMM slots are). That is because the bulk of the graphics card is the cooling system, and that is mounted on the side of your card that is facing the bottom of the case (when mounted). The back is basically flush with the PCI slot. 2. On the other hand, when it comes to the SATA port, I have to make a sensible guess. I would say that you're most likely in the clear because of the elevation granted not only by the PCI slot on the motherboard itsself, but also by the fact that the card also has some extra clearance from the slot. If you look at an image of the card you'll notice that, above the gold plated contacts, there is almost a whole centimeter of additional space before the cooler starts. Judging by that and by the fact that I have never heard of a GPU interfering in any way with the SATA connectors on a motherboard, I would say that it should work. However, the worst case scenario is that it doesn't fit. In that case you should be able to simply return it, get your money back and order a "mini" version (those are usually shorter)

@@GoodsauceTech Thank you so much! You can't imagine how much stress this one reply released! Edit: I forgot to say this but you now have another sub :)
I could be wrong but I read recently many of the newer GPUs require 500W PSU. Wouldn't it be better to get a 650W just to be sure you have enough for all components to have maximum power draw?
I think that's just a myth that a AMD CPU will run better with an AMD GPU BUUUUUUTT It's still worth checking just in case though. Google exists btw lol.
So, theoretically I could put a GTX 1660 Ti into my PGT SE that has a PCi x16 2.0 slot? or does it have to be like a 1060 or something? I need advice to upgrade this ancient but great piece of tech. xD

I have a question for you. How do I know which GDDR I have to use ? lets say that I have a DRR4 motherboard. will this mother support a GDDR5 graphics card ?
No need to worry about what vram type of gpu is. Any gpu is ok. But the best that you can get is gddr5. The only concern about your motherboard is what type of ram is compatible. Ddr3 or ddr4 . Just search your motherboard model in the web to know what type it supports
@@Mashuugeki gddr4 gpu? or ddr4 ram? if its gddr4 gpu then its ok . but if you put ddr4 ram into your system. it will not work at all. because your system supports only ddr3 ram
Okay dude you are seriously talented. All these other channels just complicate EVERYTHING. And then I find your channel and suddenly everything is actually SIMPLE? What is happening... this is too good to be true!

Hi sorry to bother you with my crappy setup but was wondering if the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 04G-P4-6253-KR WILL be compatible with the Intel DH67BL Media Series Socket 1155 Micro ATX Motherboard
Try searching for the specs of the Optiplex different sites (CNET, Dell's own site, TomsHardware, etc). You might find some useful info about it there. If not, Tom's Hardware is a good place to ask about GPU clearance. Someone might know and let you know.
i have a HP Pavilion Desktop PC 570-p0xx will it work with EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan), 6GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC), 06G-P4-6163-KR

Can a EVGA GTX 1050 TI 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card compatible with my Pegatron Corporation 2AB6 Motherboard? If not what would you recommend around that performance range?
But my pc has PCI x16, has enough power and enough space. When i put it into my pc. The screen goes blank whenever i put it into my pc. When i plug my gpu into my pc and enable integrated gpu and go to device manager nothing shows up. My friend put it into his pc and it fired right up
You might have a motherboard issue. i was sli for a while and now i cant sli... because the pcie plug for the second card crapped out on me and i can only use one card... sucks.
My PC is about six seven years old, I don't know whether upgrade everything or just get a new graphics card. Compared with all there is to know about PCs I have to say I know quite little but I want to know more I have a zoostorm PC with a GTX 750 graphics card. I tell you more about my PC if I thought it was important to the upgrading and if I understood it.
@@GoodsauceTech the HDMI port in my graphics card is a bit dodgy and loose, and I cannot capture my camera with game capture HD but it will work with OBS studios so I'm confused.
@@GoodsauceTech I see PCs for sale on eBay that look good but are they good I don't know, based on the price is it any good compared to mine when I got it which I think was £699 and how long is lasted me, how long is anything I buy from eBay most probably less than £500 realistically going to last.
Do workstation GPU's fit in a desktop? Trying to figure out if a Geforce GTX 570 fits into a Dell Vostro 220. The slots below the PCI Express slot are embossed, so i worry about colission
tldr make sure your motherboard has a pcie slot. doesnt have to be 16x but 16x will definetly give better performance i doubt any modern motherboards dont have a single 16x lane atleast tho
Went on this vid because I couldn’t position the graphic card to fit into the back of the case and stick into the motherboard but then I realized I had to turn it upside down

+Junaid Iqbal Nope, GPU memory types don't have to match up with your RAM type. A GDDR5 GPU will have no problem running in a DDR3 Motherboard, for example. They're different things that just so happen to have a similar name.
@Junaid Yes, GPUs have DDR memory. However, your GPU's DDR has *nothing* to do with your motherboard's DDR. So when it comes to finding compatible GPUs for your motherboard, this is one issue you don't have to worry about.
Chozen Mallet there are not such thing as ddr5 GPUs probably you meant gddr5 which is a different thing and the answer is yes it doesn't matter if you are using a DDR3 system as long as it supports and have a pci -e2.0 lane you are good to go.The only consideration to keep in mind though is that the gpu that you are planning to use must be somehow equal with the rest systems performance if you have a very bad system and you pair it with a good gpu you will end up with a very crappy result in general. To explain what i mean by that i have a x58 platform which even today is more than capable to run any game in any resolution in any settings as long as you pair it with a Xeon x56xx serries and a very strong gpu before the Xeon my platform had an i7 920 cpu when i bought the 1050ti performance was mostly ok then i bought the gtx1080 and man it was bad the performance in general was very bad the card was holding back sooooooooo bad the gain was like 20 fps in average..then i bought the Xeon and the performance had skyrocketed in another level actually the gain was almost triple times better in a 1080p resolution then i pair it with a 1080ti but i had again a little gain in 1080p because my card was holded back by the cpu then i changed the resolution and the card was performed like a champ.
Can I fit a DDR5 graphics card in a DDR4 motherboard? Yes, you can. The DDR4 motherboard refers to the RAM/memory and should not be confused with discrete graphics memory. A DDR4 motherboard can handle DDR3, DDR5, GDDR5 and GDDR5X graphics cards. ... Of course you can plug it normally in DDR4 motherboard and get it to work.
At 3:40 ur talking if we have a nvidia graphics card and a amd graphic card? I have a lot of space and power, i have pcie 3.0 x16 . Can i put a rx 580?
can any GPU work with any motherboard if its pci16 and enough space in case?
+MR Agar Yep, that's pretty much the point I was trying to get across.
thanks
+MR Agar no worries :)
u really helped me, i just orderd a pc
+MR Agar that's great to hear, good luck and have fun with it!

This motherboard has PCI-e 3.0 and i saw that the 3050 has 4.0. But i also saw on a website saying its backwards compatible so a 3.0 would work on a 2.0, which would mean a 4.0 works on a 3.0 but im not a tech guy just a regular computer user with basic knowlegde so hence why im asking this. Sorry for my English its not my native language, Thanks for anybody helping !
My motherboard is DDR3 should I install Rx 570 4gb Graphics card
So I want buy the msi gtx 1070 armor 8gb OC. and my case is sharkoon bw9000-w. pretty much every hdd/ssd tray is occupied. So max gpu length would be 29.3cm and the msi one is 279mm. Only 1cm space is left. Is this recommended or should I buy a shorter card?
Shouldn't be a problem as far as i know. For instance, my cpu cooler is only 1cm off the max height supported by the case and it has never proven to be an issue
Goodsauce Tech cool, thank you very much. Gonna sub you.😆
yo if i had a ryzen 7 3800x and a 5700xt is a 650watt psu enough? also would they cpu and gpu both be compatible with my asus prime b450 a csm?
What overclocked mean?
I just installed an ASUS GTX 1060 (duel fan) 3gb, I have an AMDfx(tm)-8350 eight-core processor, 8gb of ram I removed all the old graphics drivers and I get only minor performance change despite 1060 still being a fairly good card any suggestions?
Will a zotac 1060 3gb work on my old 2012 gigabyte ultra durable mobo also rn I’m using a EVGA gtx 670 with a old 2012 i5 and a 750 watt psu?? I’m asking because I’m slowly upgrading my pc and I desperately need a new gpu
This channel is really underrated bruh it deserves more love
Magyarok!!
true
To simplify for everyones instead of watching the whole video a graphics card fits a slot this slot = pci express x 16 slot. Every motherboard designed for gaming will have a pci express x 16 slot.
If you bought a pc with an amd or nvidia based gpu your motherboard will have atleast one pci express 16 slot.
There are 3 types of pci express x 16 slots/ gpu teeth which are pci express x 16 [1.0 , 2.0 , 3.0] lower end gpus have a 2.0 pcie slot higher have a 3.0 slot.
mother board slots are backwards compatible so a 3.0 gpu will work on a 2.0 pcie slot etc. The only negative is a 5 fps decrease using a 2.0 pcie slot on a 3.0 gpu.
So in short you will never be able to buy an incompatible gpu or motherboard.
The only thing you then have to worry about is size and whether your gpu will fit in your case so I recommend you get measurements and measure your case to see it fits.
Check you also have enough vram 4GB 8GB etc
I'm trying to be very specific here, and possible (if you could check it up) since i've been googling like a madman the past 3days and found nothing, lol.
I just ordered a new graphics card: Asus GTX 1060 dual OC 6gb.
My current specs are:
i5 4440 @3.1ghz
MSI B85M-E45 (m-atx) motherboard
550W Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold PSU
8gb vengeance DDR3 ram @ 666mhz dual-channel.
My case is a Komplett Gamer i05 case, from 2013/2014. (it's a mid tower, well enough space for the card itself).
Will this Asus GTX 1060 dual OC 6gb fit on my motherboard? What worries me is if it would touch either the ram-memory holders or the sideway SATA port at the end of the mobo.
Quick response would be highly appreciated! thanks
Hi! Judging by the images I have found of that motherboard and my general knowledge of PCs, here's what I can say:
1. The card shouldn't interfere with the RAM slots. The way graphics cards are built means that it will only take up space below the PCI-E slot on the motherboard and not above it (where the DIMM slots are). That is because the bulk of the graphics card is the cooling system, and that is mounted on the side of your card that is facing the bottom of the case (when mounted). The back is basically flush with the PCI slot.
2. On the other hand, when it comes to the SATA port, I have to make a sensible guess. I would say that you're most likely in the clear because of the elevation granted not only by the PCI slot on the motherboard itsself, but also by the fact that the card also has some extra clearance from the slot. If you look at an image of the card you'll notice that, above the gold plated contacts, there is almost a whole centimeter of additional space before the cooler starts. Judging by that and by the fact that I have never heard of a GPU interfering in any way with the SATA connectors on a motherboard, I would say that it should work.
However, the worst case scenario is that it doesn't fit. In that case you should be able to simply return it, get your money back and order a "mini" version (those are usually shorter)
Alright, thanks alot for the quick reply and informative answer to my question! Guess I have to wait and see :)
Keep up the good work, subbed.
+svakkaN No worries, good luck with your build! :)
Graphics Cards GDDR5X to DDR5 to GDDR6 PCI Express work in the same motebord
for example ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z work a gtx 1080 to GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
GeForce RTX 2060
Well, if for example, I have a GTX 1070, I can upgrade to a GTX 2070?
I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti in my current PC Tower (case) by CYBERPOWER and my concerns with making a Graphics Card Purchase is the Size available (Measured the space at about 12 inches), and that being said Graphics card Space and as well the needed Power Supply required if I say Purchase a 1060/1070 upgrade Graphics Card. EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti FTW ULTRA SILENT GAMING, 8GB GDDR5, ACX 3.0 & RGB LED Graphics Card (is that the Socket or Plug in to my mother board?)

I'm glad i could help. Good luck with the build!
I have a question I have a PCIE x16 slot and was wondering which is the best gpu for that size or that will fit
I went with a 500w too, just so I could possibly upgrade in the futur
I could be wrong but I read recently many of the newer GPUs require 500W PSU. Wouldn't it be better to get a 650W just to be sure you have enough for all components to have maximum power draw?
This video is awesome! Thank you.
+Daddy Trump Thanks!
I have PCIx16 slot, but my motherboard H61 (Intel 2nd gen/3rd gen support only), So Will GDDR6 Graphics cards work perfectly?
I need to know... If I have a Intel CPU I can use a AMD GPU with no problem right?
I think that's just a myth that a AMD CPU will run better with an AMD GPU
BUUUUUUTT
It's still worth checking just in case though. Google exists btw lol.
So, theoretically I could put a GTX 1660 Ti into my PGT SE that has a PCi x16 2.0 slot? or does it have to be like a 1060 or something? I need advice to upgrade this ancient but great piece of tech. xD
I'm Very confused. which graphic card would be right to buy for my pc to Do not be bottlenecking.

Will my GPU (RX 580) works with the PCI x8 instead of x16 cuz i haven't PCIe x16. There aren't any difference between them excluding bus speed or anything else?
What cpu and motherboard are you using
Thanks man you are a legend 👍
I have i5 7th gen but I want to buy a gpu should I go for gtx 1650? Or 1050ti? Or what with budget under 200$
Does your processor at all affect what kinds of graphic cards you can get?
+Doges ForDays No, as far as i know, it should have no effect on gpu compatibility.
"Even if your GPU fits length wise, it might be too THICCC"
+1 for noticing that
So basically any gpu can be compatible as long as it has enough space to fit in the case? No matter the form factor of the motherboard?
My specs.
Amd athlon II ×2 260, Ati radeon 3000 integrated graphics , 4×2 gb DDR3 Ram, which graphic card I should buy ?. , Will it run Call of duty MW3,pubg ?
I have a question for you. How do I know which GDDR I have to use ? lets say that I have a DRR4 motherboard. will this mother support a GDDR5 graphics card ?
No need to worry about what vram type of gpu is. Any gpu is ok. But the best that you can get is gddr5. The only concern about your motherboard is what type of ram is compatible. Ddr3 or ddr4 . Just search your motherboard model in the web to know what type it supports
@@musix2pointzero Thank you very much, God bless.
@@Mashuugeki gddr4 gpu? or ddr4 ram? if its gddr4 gpu then its ok . but if you put ddr4 ram into your system. it will not work at all. because your system supports only ddr3 ram
@@Mashuugeki yes. technically.

I am planning to buy gtx 1050ti my CPU is AMD A8 -7650k Radeon R7 4core w/ 3.30 GHz and 8gb ram with ddr 3 mobo with slot of 16 x pci e slot Is it compatible?
Edited: If it's not can you recommend me what gpu should i buy to make it compatible. :)
Alright so i cant check my pc specs because im currently away and im really new to this. I believe i currently have a radeon r7 360 and want to buy a gtx 1060 cause i heard its really good. I have a prebought pc and cpu prolly good cause it got 4 cores. Would that work? I think my case would fit 1060 but thats about all i know help pls.
If your power supply can provide enough wattage you should be good
Hi sorry to bother you with my crappy setup but was wondering if the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 04G-P4-6253-KR WILL be compatible with the Intel DH67BL Media Series Socket 1155 Micro ATX Motherboard
This is Intel's Product Page for the motherboard ( goo.gl/dKBAqZ ). Your 1050 Ti will fit :)
Goodsauce Tech dude how about mine my mobo is gigabyte ga-f2a68hm-ds2 can gtx 1050ti work with my mobo?
Goodsauce Tech plus my psu is just 700w it will work?
Hey there, this question may sound silly, but can a asus prime b360m-a work with the upcoming rtx 3000 series?
I'm gonna go for GTX750ti and a Dell Optiplex, problem is all i can find is a slim tower and I don't know if it will fit
Try searching for the specs of the Optiplex different sites (CNET, Dell's own site, TomsHardware, etc). You might find some useful info about it there. If not, Tom's Hardware is a good place to ask about GPU clearance. Someone might know and let you know.
My pc turns off and makes a loud noise i think it's bc my motherboard and power supply are not compatable with my gpu (1060)

Can a EVGA GTX 1050 TI 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card compatible with my Pegatron Corporation 2AB6 Motherboard? If not what would you recommend around that performance range?
+Nixon the motherboard has a PCI x16 slot, so it should be compatible.
Nice video i juste had a question can i put a gddr5 gpu on an old motherboard like ddr3 or 4 ?
Yes, you can. The type of DRAM specified for the motherboard only matters for the actual RAM. It has nothing to do with the GPU's RAM.
But my pc has PCI x16, has enough power and enough space. When i put it into my pc. The screen goes blank whenever i put it into my pc. When i plug my gpu into my pc and enable integrated gpu and go to device manager nothing shows up. My friend put it into his pc and it fired right up
You might have a motherboard issue. i was sli for a while and now i cant sli... because the pcie plug for the second card crapped out on me and i can only use one card... sucks.
My PC is about six seven years old, I don't know whether upgrade everything or just get a new graphics card. Compared with all there is to know about PCs I have to say I know quite little but I want to know more I have a zoostorm PC with a GTX 750 graphics card. I tell you more about my PC if I thought it was important to the upgrading and if I understood it.
I switched from a GTX 750 Ti to a GTX 1650 Super a few months ago myself and that was definitely worth it. What else do you have in your PC?

tldr make sure your motherboard has a pcie slot. doesnt have to be 16x but 16x will definetly give better performance i doubt any modern motherboards dont have a single 16x lane atleast tho

Does a GPU have a DDR? like DDR3 or DDR4. And if i have a DDR3 GPU and a DDR4 Motherboard will it work?
+Junaid Iqbal Nope, GPU memory types don't have to match up with your RAM type. A GDDR5 GPU will have no problem running in a DDR3 Motherboard, for example.
They're different things that just so happen to have a similar name.
Goodsauce Tech thx
@Junaid Yes, GPUs have DDR memory. However, your GPU's DDR has *nothing* to do with your motherboard's DDR.
So when it comes to finding compatible GPUs for your motherboard, this is one issue you don't have to worry about.
thanks that was helpful! thx
Does intel motherboard dh61ho support gigabyte 1060 3gb graphics card?
What if you have a ddr3 motherboard and put a ddr5 graphics card? Will it work? Btw whats the difference between ddr and gddr?
I have a full video on exactly that. ruclips.net/video/djQZ9JFoBIk/видео.html
thank you
Chozen Mallet there are not such thing as ddr5 GPUs probably you meant gddr5 which is a different thing and the answer is yes it doesn't matter if you are using a DDR3 system as long as it supports and have a pci -e2.0 lane you are good to go.The only consideration to keep in mind though is that the gpu that you are planning to use must be somehow equal with the rest systems performance if you have a very bad system and you pair it with a good gpu you will end up with a very crappy result in general. To explain what i mean by that i have a x58 platform which even today is more than capable to run any game in any resolution in any settings as long as you pair it with a Xeon x56xx serries and a very strong gpu before the Xeon my platform had an i7 920 cpu when i bought the 1050ti performance was mostly ok then i bought the gtx1080 and man it was bad the performance in general was very bad the card was holding back sooooooooo bad the gain was like 20 fps in average..then i bought the Xeon and the performance had skyrocketed in another level actually the gain was almost triple times better in a 1080p resolution then i pair it with a 1080ti but i had again a little gain in 1080p because my card was holded back by the cpu then i changed the resolution and the card was performed like a champ.
Can I fit a DDR5 graphics card in a DDR4 motherboard?
Yes, you can. The DDR4 motherboard refers to the RAM/memory and should not be confused with discrete graphics memory. A DDR4 motherboard can handle DDR3, DDR5, GDDR5 and GDDR5X graphics cards. ... Of course you can plug it normally in DDR4 motherboard and get it to work.
