graphic card compatibility in msi motherboard

[Pradeep BAyalkoti]

so i have msi G41-p33 motherboard
(http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G41M-P33-Combo.html#hero-overview)
intel core 2 Quad cpu
and 4gb ram

so i am planning buy graphic card to play fifa 15 in 720p monitor but max setting
so i wanna buy a graphic card which match my cpu and motherboard

the main things that bother me is my board kinda old but but does it support ddr5 or ddr3
or i have to change my whole system.
i was planning
to get Nvidia GeForce GT730 1gb DDR5

 

[kwa-e]

Should work just fine.

Although I'd save up for a 750TI or a 260X if I were you, The performance you're getting for the price you're paying for a GT730 doesn't make much sense at all.

You might need to update your bios first though. On the website it says it has gen 1 pcie slot.

Pre 1.1 pcie slots have trouble running newer video cards.

You may be limited to pcie 2.0 cards specifically.

I suggest you contact MSI and find out if the slot in that mobo is 1.0 or 1.1 before buying anything.

Low-end cards have no problem running in 1.1, It's in higher end cards you see bottlenecks in.

It's not a performance issue. That's a given.

It's a slot spec issue, there are some mobo's that got bios updates to handle newer cards some did not.

There are 7750's that dont work in pcie 1.x slots. That's why i told him to contact MSI directly and find out if his particular mobo got a bios update to handle newer cards.

gddr5 is a LOT faster.

Video card memory has nothing to do with your motherboards ram.


Also it looks like a cheap fake.
