[SOLVED] Same model, different brand, Motherboard manufacturer says incompatible

[Bongert]

I have the MSI GeForce GT 730 and wanted to get the ASUS Prime H310I-Plus R2.0 Motherboard but according to their compatibility list under section 3.3 for GPUs my particular GPU isn't compatible with their board, yet the same model graphics card but from a different brand, namely the ASUS GT730-SL-2G-BRK-V2 and ASUS GT730-2GD3-DI(C1071P) are. Does it really matter what the compatibility list says or could i get away with just putting my "unsupported" card in?

I think this is very similar to the memory QVL lists in that....they basically don't test EVERYTHING.

I think chances are very good that the card will work.

kinda had a hunch. i checked the list for another motherboard and the PSU compatibility and didnt find the one im currently running on that MB.

Yeah....and electrically....the MSI and the ASUS cards should be VERY similar.

I would think that....the compatibility of GPUS....is much more forgiving than the compatibility of memory.
