Hello guys! I just wanted to know the maximum gpu capacity of my motherboard. I have attached a pic in which the model of my mboard is mentioned. Its between the two pci slots. Starting with L. Also, i find it strange that the ddr3 ram slot only supports 1066mhz ram. Each slot has max capacity of 4gb (as per what was shown in siw)
I have borrowed both 1333mhz and 1600mhz ram from friends but none of them worked as the system started making beep-beep sound. And yes, it was definitely properly fixed so thats not an issue.
But my major concern is the gpu right now.
Can my system support this gpu?

Thanks for the support...

sorry i did not write that very well.

the motherboard would run a 1080 if you could power it but your cpu would likely slow it down and thus it would not get full performance from the system. you want to balance the cpu and gpu as well as possible to ensure neither is holding the other back very much. depending on the game, one or the other will ALWAYS slow the other down. just the way games work. but balancing them out ensures you get a good balance of when it happens and how badly. some games favor the gpu and some favor the cpu. you can google some benchmarks for most games and see which it is for that game.

i don't know the rest of your system specs but i assume it is an older cpu and likely not a strong one, based on it being a...
