Geforce Titan Xp for Asus Z170-A board compatibility

[NhocMaruko]

Hello

I want to upgrade my computer. Could I use a Geforce Titan Xp for PC with mainboard Asus Z170-A, CPU core i7-6700 @3.4GHz? I use GPU for deep learning purpose (Linux platform).

Thanks a lot,
Lua

You can use use almost any GPU on almost any motherboard. I don't see there being an issue. The board has a properly rated x16 pcie 3.0 slot and your CPU has enough lane support for your card to utilize those 16 lanes effectively. But if you're dumping that kind of money on that kind of card you should just go all the way and get an overclocking CPU and a motherboard to match but I digress.

If you are getting a Titan xp make sure it's the Titan xpp. (I know, it's stupid that they did this with the name but it really will make all the difference to make sure you get the proper Pascal version)
