Can my motherbord support gddr5?

[sauliuswest]

i want to upgrade my gpu to a better 1. Now i have Nvidia 440 GT (ddr3). And my budget is about 300 euros.

Yes it can, your motherboard probably supports DDR4 Or 3 memory for RAM. Your gpu will use a PCI-express slot and the gpu uses GDDR5 VRAM not ram

We dont actually know what your motherboard are cpu are !??

My motherboard has PCI-express x16, and my cpu is intel i3 2k.

No, your "motherboard" does not, and never will support GDDR5. GDDR ram is specificially designed for graphics card applications.

Your motherboard will support either DDR3 or DDR4 depending on the model of i3 you have.

The question I assume you meant to ask is, will my motherboard support a graphics card that has GDDR5 ram on it? then the answer is yes, provided the motherboard has a suitable PCI-e slot, which you have already confirmed it as having a PCI-e x16 slot.

You may also have to consider if your PSU has sufficient wattage and connections to power your new graphics card and the rest of your system combined.

The reason I ask for board & cpu model is to ascertain a suitable gpu for you .

Some older boards with no uefi support do not support newer gpu's at all.

That's a concern now you've mentioned an i3 2*** series cpu because it means your board is 4-5 years old at least.

Also with a fairly weak cpu like a sandy i3 its pointless spending your full budget , €300 is 1060 6gb or rx580 territory , your CPU will hold back performance.

We still need to know

1. Your actual motherboard model
2. Your psu model
3. Your monitor model (because newer gpu's do not support analog & are hdmi or dvi-d only)

Yes his explanations are a bit bad, but you can assume that he means that. He says he want a new gpu, then the question is does my mobo support gddr5? So it's kinda obvious.
