Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H compatibility with graphics cards

[VunkJr]

I want to buy a B250M motherboard and I found the one I like, the Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H. But the thing that holds the graphics card in the PCI express slot looks strange on the pictures and it's really close to the RAM slots. So does it fit a graphics card in the slot? And does it hit the RAM sticks? Other options are Asus Prime B250M-K, MSI B250M-PRO-VD, Gigabyte GA-B250M-D2V or D3H.

PCI Express 3.0 x16 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16

That means it will accept and correctly power modern GFX cards. Any other power that may be necessary will need to be supplied by PCIe supplementary power cables that come with many PSUs these days.

Yes it fits.

No it does not. The GFX card is installed upside down. This means it doesn't go any higher than the PCIe slot. It doesn't even extend to the far edge of the slot. No worries.

No it will not hit the RAM slots.

You also need to make sure it fits in you case.
