Can I use an AMD GPU on an Intel Motherboard

[CerealBox21]

I'd like to use an AMD graphics card to drive a 2k monitor and have my 970 run the games that I play. Would I be able to do that on an Intel motherboard (Asus Maximus VII Hero)? I would not be using them in SLI, and I'd like an AMD GPU because it'd be a bit cheaper. Or should I just get a second 970 and run them in SLI? By the way, I have a custom waterloop in my build if that helps anyone with their decision.

No, the chipset is different, and the card's layouts are very different, AMD having the pins on the card and Intel having them on the board.

EDIT: thought you said CPU. Good job eyes!

Yes,Amd GPU can run on your motherboard..R9 390 can run on your motherboard but u need check running required to your power supply

Clarify your issue. Why do you not want to run the GTX970 for your 2K display?

I don't know how you'd go about it but it has been done in a Linus video I think it was, they used both cards in the same rig, AMD card for AMD optimised games and Nvidia when they were better optimised for that. I think the main problem was getting the drivers to play nicely with each other.

Found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqkI7bOfRkA , a little different but I think it's more what you meant.

I think it would be easier to go for 970's in SLI though.
