it is an irrelevant question, as cpu and psu have nothing to do with vram amount

the question you should be asking is:


what is the best gpu you can get for your budget that will work with your power supply and fit into your case


you will definately need to upgrade the power supply

and you are limited to cards under 8 inches in length

so before anyone can answer, what is your total budget?

Thanks First ,
i saw that some motherboards are limited to 2gb of vram
& what i meant is what is the max vram my motherboard can handle
because i want to upgrade my gpu now and cpu later

My Budget is around 300$ for GPU only

motherboards have nothing to do with the vram of a dedicated gpu

you might have heard something about motherboard built-ins perhaps


this is the best gpu you are going to fit within your budget:
