Can I put a 3GB graphic card on 2GB limit motherboard

[Bad1ng]

Hello, I am new to the forum and I wan't to ask. Today I've found a new cheap graphics card (Sapphire R9 280x 3GB Vapor-x Oc) but I saw that my motherboard can handle only 2GB graphics card and the one I want to buy is 3GB here is a picture of what I saw: CLICK Does that mean my motherboard can handle only 2GB graphics card or I can put any size (Gb)
Short computer specs:
Processor: AMD Fx 4300
RAM: 4GB (I'll be upgrading it to 8GB or 12GB)
My old graphics card was 1GB worked fine.

If your motherboard can only handle 2GB RAM, why are you considering upgrading to 8 or 12GB?

What is the specific motherboard make and model?

Well if it says that your motherboard only support 2gb VRAM you might want to follow it. otherwise you why don't you upgrade your MoBo and CPU too because it might bottleneck the 280x that you're using.

It just means that your motherboard can only share up to 2GB of RAM for an integrated GPU. That limit has nothing to do with a dedicated card.

My motherboard can handle up to 16GB of ram the model of my motherboard is: ASrock 960GM-VGS3 FX

I think there's some confusion between RAM and VRAM; RAM is system memory and VRAM is graphics memory. Like Dark204 said, the 2GB limit applies to the motherboard's onboard graphics and not a dedicated card. Motherboards don't impose VRAM restrictions on dedicated graphics cards.

so i have ASRock FM2A68M-HD+ MoBo and i could get GTX 745 (4gb) for really cheap to replace my current GT 740. at ASRocks website they say Max. shared (graphicscard) memory is 2GB. will my pc work better with that 4gb GTX 745 or with that my current 2gb GT 740
