The ram your motherboard has, does not have anything to do with the video cards memory.



What you need to know is how much wattage your power supply has, and the slot installed on your motherboard for graphics cards to tell if it will work or not.

The motherboard uses a PCI Express x16 lane slot memory so you need a PCIe card that fits into a slot of its physical size (x16), ddr3 or ddr5 doesn't matter, that is a type of memory the graphic card uses also known as GDDR(Graphics Double Data Rate)memory, the "5" or "3" stands for the version of the memory.
