WHICH MODERN GAMING GPUS WOULD WORK ON MY mobo?

[PeterCS]

My motherboard is MSI 880GMS E41 and Im planning to get the AMD FX 8350. Please feel free to answer. Which gpus would work in this motherboard? It is much better if proven or it has already been done by someone so that it would be sure. ;D

This depends on what standard of graphics you are looking for. If you want to game at 1080p then something like the GTX960 would be perfect. Naturally it all depends on your budget but $200 will get you a MSI GTX960 for example, hope this helps

All modern pci E gpu will work just fine on that board ... a graphics card wont be imcompatible with a graphics card as long as it has the pci e slot ... the card will work regardless of the pci e version the board comes with since pci e is backwards and forward compatible with each other

The sky is the limit -- dependent upon your power supply (and budget).

The FX-8320E currently has a 10%-off promo code. With a nice aftermarket cooler (not required unless you wish to over-clock beyond 4.2GHz or so) that side of the equation will run you around $170.

For another $170-$180, the R9 285 / R9 280 are lookin' good

You can't run an 8350 on that board ,it has a 95w limit.
Best you could do is a 6300 mate & that's what I'd go for.
A r9 280 ,gtx 960 or if in budget an r9 280x would be your best option.

 

[jbrown156]

he is right on that your motherboard wont support the 8350 ..
http://us.msi.com/support/mb/880GMSE41_FX.html#support-cpu
thats the cpu support list for the board and the 8350 is not listed .. you can opt
for a 8300 or anything beow on the list

 

[madmatt30]

^ yep mate ,looking at what's available as a 95w fx chip the 6300 is going to be the best performer easily (& one of the cheapest)

What you lose in cores over the 8320e/8310 is made up for where it counts by the higher base/boost speeds.
A stock 6300 will pair up with a 280x absolutely fine IMO.

 

[Wisecracker]

The 95w FX-8320Es were baked this past summer and while not a new stepping, feature minor core revisions (C0-j to C0-k).

Anandtech discovered at 'stock' it's an 84w CPU

^ Not worth the outlay over a 6300 though , he ain't going to be overclocking on that board at all & at stock the 6300 is faster full stop.
Those 2 extra cores are no benefit at all for gaming.

All of them. Gpus dont really have any compatibilty issues (you just need a strong enough psu and a 16x pcie slot which all mobos have)
