does it support asus r9 270x video card with best performance ?

This motherboard is PCIe 3.0 x16 running at x16. The r9 270x video card is also featured with PCIe 3.0 x16. Conclusion: So therefore, YES is the answer. And YES it will run at top speeds of 3.0 Performance; and not 2.0 down-graded performance -due to neither are 2.0, both are 3.0 related. So K. Tanaka is wrong about this. *Furthermore, I bought this board due to it having PCIe 3.0, so I could pair it with my video card(MSI R7770 GHz Edition)that is 3.0 capable, with this PCIe 3.0 featured motherboard. In order to get: Top 3.0 Performance Speeds. http://us.msi.com/product/mb/B85M-P33.html (Reference Link for below PCIe feature. Plus the total in-depth Product Features). World's 1st PCI Express Gen 3 motherboard brand With ultra-high 32GB/s transfer bandwidth, PCI Express Gen 3 provides a 2X faster transfer rate than the previous generation, this delivers amazing capabilities for true next generation extreme gaming. Benefits: - 2X bandwidth - Increased efficiency and compatibility - Extreme performance for current and next gen PCI Express cards

Motherboard specification in the user's manual of MSI B85M-P33 says that it has two expansion slots; PCIe x16 and PCIe 2.0 x1.On the otherhand, ASUS R9 270X has PCIe3.0x16 interface.Since PCIe3.0 is backward compatible, the video card can be installed on the P33 motherboard, but the throughput you can get is PCIe level, which is 250MB/s per lane, versus 985MB/s per lane of PCIe3.0 (according to Wikipedia).Therefore B85M-P33 is not the right one for R9 270X in terms of performance.

I run mine with the FX-6300 and Gigabyte MB as well. It should work, it's not ultra fast stock.

Yes...But being this is an AMD chipset and AMD based board an AMD GPU is more compatible. If you already have the GPU fine if not consider an AMD GPU. I personally prefer AMD over nVidia but thats up to you.

For better experience with this mobo i suggest you an AMD video card due the AMD chipset on the motherboard

u need a pci-e which It has, its also functioning great when overclocked too with that board id recommend a better card but u wont be the only one running it on that board, go ahead and google it a few others are using it

Yes, it will take any PCI-E x16 video card, but as to why an Nvidiblow card with an AMD board beats me. But yes it will work.

Yes, the EVGA 500B 500 W 80PLUS is compatible with the Asus M5A97 Motherboard, and will also be able to power the R9 270, though you may want to consider going for a higher Wattage rating for a power supply powering any of the R9 GPUs, for slightly more stable performance. However, this PSU would work fine with it, that's not a necessity, just a recommendation.

Depends on what your video card what what else do you plan to run with it. I use a Corsair HX 850 but I crossfire 2 AMD R9 280X.

I installed this card onto the workstation version of this Asus motherboard and worked flawlessly. After installation, I recommend the latest drivers from nVidia's website...

Are you referring to the physical card size? If so, this lovely MoBo supports any size video card that will fit into your case and that you have PSU that supports... and of course budget for!

It's only partially supported. The R3 chipset and GPU can utilize up to 90w of power. This unit will work, but you'll find yourself with limited power.

You're gpu would be the main facter in performence, but you should be fine. I run Windows 8 and there are no problems for me

It varies on what else you have installed. like if this will be your only graphics card, then it should be enough, but only barely.

They are both great cards, and the 760 outperforms the 270x slightly. However, the big kicker is driver support which has dogged the R9 and other newer ATI models. I would suggest thinking about the games you plan to play and checking their individual support forums for any issues. Also, be sure to do a physical check in your case and make sure the card will fit. This card is incredible large and you might have interference issues with things like your hard drives.

I think it's will work but you will not have the max GPU performance even if you Overcloking the GPU.It's better to have motherboard support PCIe 3.0

I believe that card only works on certain Asus motherboards so you need to verify that which ever Asus board you choose supports it.

It will work with your APU but instead of the on chip graphics accelerator. It will most assuredly give you better performance, however make sure you have an open PCI-E slot and at least a 400Watt PSU.
