compatible graphics card for motherboard

Solution
They work in tandem with each other. Games that are not cpu intensive may make good use of a 1080 on your system but in most cases you'll find your cpu close to 100% and your gpu not being fully utilised

current system spec
INTEL® XEON® CPU X550 @ 2.67GHZ
4 GB RAM 250 GB HDD
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX960
WINDOWS (7) 64bit/UBUNTU
 
Ok so you're using a 960-it means your board has a pci compatible slot. Considering your cpu is a bit older I wouldn't really go for much more than a 1050ti. Even then thats a questionable upgrade. A 1080 will work (depending on your psu as well) but you will not be making use of it as it will be held back by your cpu.

Am running deep learning python programs for segmentation, dont understand how the cpu comes into picture when we run the program using gpu ? Does the cpu affect the gpu's performance here. So can i utilize a 1080 gpu efficiently while running the programs.
