Best ddr3 GPU

[memebuster]

Hi everyone, can't really explain right now cause it's kinda long but i need to know what the best ddr3 gpu is. My budget would be of around 200-220 euros.

Why do you want a DDR3 gpu? Theres no reason you need one.

i would go so far as to say there isn't a good DDR3 GPU at all. theres no reason to set your bar so low. if you're spending 220 euros you should get something decent. not a GPU with DDR3...

what the best ddr3 gpu is.

Yes, why DDR3 GPU? Get GDDR5 one.
Whats are your PC specs?

 

[boosted1g]

What your motherboard memory is what your gpu memory is does not matter.

You are not restricted to ddr3 video cards just because your motherboard uses ddr3 memory. They have nothing to do with each other.

My computer doesn't support gpus with gddr5 memory. I brought it to the local "pc doctor" because i couldn't install my gtx 960 (that i returned soon after) and he told me that. He tried ddr3 gpus with my pc and they worked, but the gddr5 ones didn't. (my computer is a pre-build hp pc) (it's not a psu problem btw)

Makes me question the local computer guy.
Motherboard should not care what the GPU is as long as it compatible with the PCI-E standard of the board.

Only exception I could think of is if your computer is an HP that had the white-list hardware bios (where it would not accept any hardware that was not in that programed list). In this instance it is not that your motherboard needs ddr3 graphics, its just that no ddr 4/5 GPUs are in that whitelist.


So please list system specs (full model numbers please, things like "500w psu" or "quad core cpu" do not help us at all)
If it is custom built please include motherboard model, if OEM tower (HP, Dell, etc) please list the model number of the tower.

if your computer has a PCI-e slot then it most certainly supports any PCI-e graphics card on the market. whether the card uses DDR3 or DDR5 graphics memeory doesn't matter. it has nothing to do with your system memory.

As above, memory type has never been a deciding factor on what cards will work. Its a memory type, not an interface.
There is another issue here, not the memory on the card.

This 'pc doctor' does he sell DDR3 videocards by any chance?

ok, here are the specs:
Geforce gt 545
i7-2600
8gb ddr3
IPISB-CH2 motherbord
hp 415w psu
Hitachi 2tb hdd

It's a hp prebuild, model h8-1141it

oh ok, it must be something else then

If you ask him he orders a gpu for you and installs it

It's not that you can't run GDDR5 cards it's that you need to run a card that supports a non UEFI(legacy) bios. Most Motherboard manufactures released bios updates to fix this compatibility problem however HP did not do this for many boards(yours is one of those) so you need a GPU that supports a legacy bios.

How can i find one? Is it in the gpus specifications?

Yes it should be in the specs here's and example.
