I apologize if this is a dumb question. Can this handle a gtx980 or titan black? Or what would you recommend for a gpu?

No question is dumb! Only people are dumb. LOL This board can handle any graphics card you pair with it. Truthfully, cost is always the decider in the end. But what you use it for makes a dif. Gams - best you can afford. Everything else (besides video and image manipulation) doesn't need too much. G.L.

Yes, it can. It comes with a single PCIe x16 3.0 port. Those cards will require power from the PSU, probably 2x6 pin or even 6+8 pin. I would think most PSUs have this and it should work fine. I have a GTX 970 with 6+8 pin power and it works great.

Yes, the motherboard can handle it just fine. The only question would be can it fit in your case, as this board is intended for mini-itx cases. You'd need to check the dimensions of your case and see if it would fit in there fine, baring that you should have no issues provided you have suitable power.

This motherboard comes equipped with one PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot. This slot can handle either a gtx 980 or titan black. Your GPU choice should come as a result of asking what kind of use you're trying to get out of your system. For example, gaming (AAA latest games)on 1920x1080 on a single monitor, a gtx 980 and a titan black would be overkill.

I can only say that I used this. ASUS GeForce GTX 750Ti GDDR5 2GB Graphics Card GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 with mine, fits in Cooler Master case, and plays WOT at 80 to 100 frames....good price too

As long as your ITX case have enough space for these giant graphic card. Yes, this motherboard support 980 or titan black. For me, I would recommend smaller card (and smaller case) since you are building an small PC. I would recommend gigabyte GTX970 ITX. This card is only 17cm long, and can fit into almost any case while retain great performance.
1963407
The motherboard can handle a titan just fine, but I'm not sure you can handle it. I recommend you get a 3dfx Voodoo 2.
1963408
Yes, I am running this with an overclocked gtx 980 and silverstone 600w power supply.
1963409
Yes, it can handle either of those GPUs. The bigger question is what type of system you are looking to build? Generally systems built around a mini-ITX form factor are not hard-core gaming systems. (Which is the main reason to have either of those GPUs) This is because you're immediately limited to the single GPU by the motherboard design. You also need to consider the case you'll be using as most mini-ITX cases are not able to accommodate a GPU of that physical size. If I remember correctly, Thermaltake has a case with a cutout for a standard size GPU.

If you're looking for a video card for gaming I'd recommend a card with higher specs. I use it for videos on my HTPC and light gaming, it performs as I need it to, but it lags.

I used a 700 watt Seasonic 80 plus. I had a a FX 6300 in a Gigabyte z71 I believe. I love the case. Lots of room. What kind of video card are you planning getting. I had 2 Gtx 550ti in sli my 700 ran perfect.

PAring that CPU with a Titan would be a bad, bad idea. If you're willing to buy a Titan, just rebuild your rig with a better CPU. Your CPU will even bottleneck a mid-range GPU. I would recommend a gtx 650 or 750; anything higher-en than that will be a waste of money.

this is a GTX Titan. Titan Black is a little bit faster and comes with other goodies like t-shirt and some stickers.

I have a 500w PSU and it has been serving me vey well with this GPU. However if you are only going to be watching movies I would not suggest getting a GPU. The onboard video of the CPU should be sufficient enough. Even for a low amount of gaming purposes I would try out the onboard video of the CPU before getting a GPU as they can usually up the cost of a computer.

I found that the gtx.780ti to been a stable card but that is my own point of view do what is best for you thank you for asking!

I use it with the GTX 770 4GB and it performs great. Only thing is that it only accepts DVI-D and it didn't work when I ran it out of an HDMI socket on the card with an adapter.

Oh ya, that will work well. That motherboard could support 2 of these behemoth cards. I have one and it kicks a**. Comparable to a 780. Really awesome.

Nvidia geforce gt 640 has twice the ram and a higher cuda count for just a little more. I bought the diamond card and was disappointed with it. Useless for modern gaming but decent for Blu ray.

Really depends on what you will be running. I'm using a 850 watt Silverstone PSU. I runs all my components well, including my new 770GTX. Plus I may get another 770 later for SLI and it should accommodate that as well. Otherwise a 650 watt or so PSU would normally suffice if you only plan on using one card. This case can handle all of them in any event.

It has 2GB VRAM, which is sufficient for 1080p gaming. The 4GB gpu would give you better performance on multi monitor setups, but the 2GB plays games like Titanfall and Dark Souls 2 on high settings easily and for prolonged periods of time.

actually if u love numbers for bench marks. than u should get the 780ti. IMO the 780ti is like a sports coupe. run fast and but seats 2 only. the titan is more like a gtr. u can run, and can have room for ur kids in the back.... in some games with open worlds.. i can max every thing n not worry about not enough vram. i'm running tri sli. stock bios. n water cooled. i still get good fps. hope it helps.

This card will do movies and some other desktop display on a 4K display. However on games it would choke and burn (if it would even launch) on a 4k display.I would not recommend anything less than a GTX 780 or a Titan if you plan to seriously take advantage of this display.As much as a 4K monitor costs I would not skimp on the video card at all or you will lose the benifits of 4k.I would recommend against this for 4k.

This one is mATX board, 3 GPUs might be tough, I found tough to manage 1 GTX 690 itself. Apart from fitting these, GPU cooling might need pretty tight cabling. I would advice not to go for this GPU.
1893426
I bought a 750 cause what I had didn't quite worked with this GPU, and I haven't had any problems with it. My advice is that you get a nice performing 600+ watt power supply so you don't have to worry about it. Peace :)

I'm using this board right now and it's pretty good. I would say any nvidia gtx hight than 600. It might be old but it performs great. Just be very gentle when installing it.
