is a ddr5 graphics card compatible with a ddr3 motherboard?

[Star Butterfly]

I have a GA-F2a88HM-S1 motherboard and I want to know if its compatible with a gtx1050 or a gtx 1060

sure, but I would not waste that much money on a 1060 with an Socket FM2+ Motherboard to be honest.

What about a 1050 or a 1050 ti

a 1050 ti is better ( if your power supply has a 6-pin pcie cable )

but yes either is fine

vram has nothing to do with system ram

Keep in mind that the 1050 uses relatively little power, while the 1060 requires a pci-ex connector. So there are things you do need to consider but the type of ram the motherboard has isn't one of those things.
