compatibility issues with GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD3 motherboard and EVGA - GeForce GTX TITAN X 12GB GDDR5 video card

[rEignz]

hello guys!

I am planning to buy an EVGA - GeForce GTX TITAN X 12GB GDDR5 video card to replace my current one (AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series) which I am currently having problems. I would like to ask though if the EVGA - GeForce GTX TITAN X 12GB GDDR5 is compatible with my current motherboard (GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD3) before buying. If it doesn't then what would be a good replacement?

That is wayyyy too much card for any and processor.... I'd wait and buy a 1070 tomorrow for a ton less money, and perform just as well in your computer

 

[rEignz]

Are they compatible though?

 

[Supahos]

Yes

Or, if you must have the best, get the 1080. it beats the titan x by a fair amount.
You will be bottlenecjed by your CPU regardless, though.

Sorry for the ignorance guys, but what do you mean by the 1070?

Gtx 1070 or gtx 1080 it's the newest nvidia gpu line that comes out tomorrow. The 1080 is faster than the Titan u want, and cheaper the 1070 is faster than your CPU is capable of pushing it. No idea what cpu u have but it's AMD so it can't push a Titan/1080 to their limits

GTX 1080(out tomorrow or something) and GTX 1070(out on the 17th of june) = the next generation of GPUs from Nvidia.
The flagship 1080 is more powerfull that the TItan X.

What's the difference?

 

[Hlsgsz]

Generally, EVGA makes better quality boards. But it remains to be seen how it will be for this generation.
