[SOLVED] Is gtx 1050 ti 4gb compatible with my system?

[wrong.csgo]

I am thinking of buying a gtx 1050 ti 4gb but I still do not know if it is compatible with my system speacially with my MOBO. I already researched but I'm not sure yet. And before spending any money, i want to know if and even compatible or not.

Here's my system:
CPU: AMD A8 7600 @ 3.1GHz (4cores)
RAM: 8GB (1X8GB) DDR3 1600MHz
MOBO: ASUS A88XM-E
POWER SUPPLY: NOX URANO 500W
CASE: NOX VULKAN

Thank you.

Yes.

1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16

I would be wary of it being able to maximise its potential though. My previous system was an A8-7600, and I added a GTX 1050 (non-Ti), and it worked, but from time to time the CPU struggled to keep up with the demand. I played World of Tanks (pre 1.0) with the 7600 and had to play at low-mid. with the 1050, the settings played fine at high, but with occasional CPU blips.

But i think my motherboard can only handle 2GB of VRAM. Can i still use 4GB of VRAM?

It's not your motherboard that sets the limit of VRAM (there is no such limiting factor), so yes you can use a card with more than 2GB. You have to remember that VRAM is only internal memory for the card and it's processor and has nothing to do with the rest of your system.

Can i use this graphics card https://www.chip7.pt/componentes/38788-zotac-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-mini-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-gddr5.html in my system without problems?

Yes mate.
No incompatibilities found.
Reasons:

• 
  Power Supply alimentation not needed for the card (GTX 1050 Ti take power directly from motherboard)
  Motherboard supports PCI-Express 3.0

yes, but your CPU and memory might limit the potential with added 1050 TI

it will, starting with the nvidia 10 series of GPU's they need the more modern UEFI type of BIOS which your motherboard does have.

however, you have a weak CPU and a poor quality power supply even though the 1050 will not take much power it may still be a concern
