Yes, but you will also need to upgrade the Power supply unit as well. Right now I'm running an ATI Radeon 7850 with a 620W power Supply with no issue.

You really shouldn't buy this card anymore since it is obsolete and being discontinued. If you can get a hold of the GTX 970 or 980 they are faster, more power efficient, and smaller than this card.

There is always something better about to come out in technology. It's a great card and with 6gb can handle multiple monitors with no problem. Suggest you buy now, if you're looking for a performance bump.

I am looking to upgrade my old card to use with this board. I won't go past $200 for a single card so the best option might be a GTX660 (Nvidia). I'm sure you can get a better card that won't be bottlenecked, but some people i know who bought this board also bought the GTX560 series cards. Hope I helped.

Justin Fowler, Regarding upgrading the Video Card - We would suggest that you try the games you plan to play, and then decide based on whether or not the performance of the existing card is satisfactory for you. If you find that you would like to upgrade the card, the system is quite capable of being upgraded, as only non-proprietary parts are used in its assembly. Also, should you upgrade the video card, you will want to pay attention to the power requirements of the card you choose. You may or may not need to upgrade the power supply as well. Regardless, please note that the proper installation of any component - internal or external - that does not damage the system will *not* void your system warranty.

"Formatting the card will definitely speed things up over an un-formatted card."Thank you Les. I follow your logic. Also, do you know how to format a card?Thanks again!

I can not answer that question. Check the owners manual, or the size of an existing card.

Nope its only the factory version (regular model w one fan) that can do that but sometimes you gotta sacrifice looks for performance. Even tho in my opinion i think the card is swagalicious.

Yes. All current cards, plus the new UDMA (1000X) cards. Mind blowing fast.

You sure can :-)I can't find a good way to move existing content to the card, but you can set the memory to put new content on the card very easily.

Yes ... make sure you install both of the cards at the same time... system will not recognize unlike cards..DO NOT over handle cards (take out of package and install, have clean but not damp hands). should improve system speed, this upgrade is the max the system can handle... have fun and enjoy your new found speed...

Yes,pretty much everything can be upgraded,I just got a bad one though I think,keeps shutting off for no reason ugh !

No you can NOT add any card. There is a very small mother board. The power supply is an external brick. It is the perfect machine for me, home use.

it will handle it quite well, in 1080p, it is a very overclockable card, great card. in short it will handle it well.

Nope its not customizable unless you purchase the machine first then purchase a new card. In other words you get what you see, but you can upgrade it!

Yes it can be upgraded. In order for it to take laptop ram you'll need to do that with additional memory card.
