i think you may be confused when it comes to DDR vs. GDDR memory watch this video for a good explanationhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbgvzVgfoSc

I put this card on a Gigabyte Z77-UD5H mobo which supports DDR3 memory. I can't say if the card is "maximizing" its potential, but I can say it eats every game I throw at it on ultra high settings. Hope that helps.

I think you mean DDR3, not DRR3. That being said, the answer is yes, you will be able to fully utilize the GDDR5. DDR3 is system memory. DDR4 motherboards are not even on the market yet, so DDR3 is the most up-to-date one can get on a motherboard. GDDR5 is graphics memory, it is not the same thing as DDR3 and is set up specifically for graphic cards. Therefore, you have nothing to worry about as far as that goes. Basically, they are two different things.

You need to make sure your motherboard can support this gpu. I had an older computer when I bought this one and that mother board wouldn't support thisgpu so I had to get a new motherboard. BUt other than that yea that's essentially how it works.

Comments from amazon.co.uk:Failed to work properly with an ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard and various SSD's & HDDs connected. Did not want to work with an SSD attached as a boot disk for Windows 8.1 Update.This is a nice card works in both types of pci slots in my computer. Worked with Windows 8.1 drivers. However, I bought it because I had SATA 1 connections on my motherboard and I thought I would get increased speed upgrading to SATA 3 with this card. However the speed using the SATA 3 card is significantly slower than connecting direct to the motherboard. A bit of a web search indicates that this is quite common. They may be SATA 3 6gb connections but, in practice no way near as fast as the SATA on the m/b.

It depends on your motherboard. It will need to support 32gb of memory and it will have to have 4 available slots to install the ram. If you dot have the documentation from your motherboard you can either look it up or check crucial.com to find what options you have regarding ram. A side note: the price of ram is really inflated as of writtig this so id hold off if possible. 32gb is a ton of ram for even the most demanding user. 8-16gb is enough for high end gaming. Unless youre a super hardcore power user you shouldt need 32gb...and for as much as it costs i wouldnt suggest it to 95% of users. It depends on your motherboard.

Yes. This GPU conforms the the PCIe specification which is backwards compatible with previous versions of the specification. This means that this GPU should be compatible with any motherboard that has x16 sized PCIe slots. PCIe 3.0 does have increased bandwidth over PCIe 2.0/2.1 and while the card is technically a PCIe 3.0 card, it will work just fine in the PCIe 2.0 x16 slots on your motherboard and there will be little to no perceptible performance loss.

Well, it depends on the motherboard. You need to find out what the brand/ model of your mother board and acquire a manual of the motherboard on the internet from apple if you don't have one or the company that made the motherboard. The manual of your motherboard should tell you what the motherboard will accapt and not accept as memory cards. It should tell you what is the maximum in GB what your motherboard will recognize and what type of card (for example-- 184 pin card or 240 pin memory card, does mother accepts DDR, DDR2, DDR3, etc...?). You need to do some research and answer your own question. Well, it depends on the motherboard.

As long as you motherboard has at least one PCI slot your fine. CPU does not matter when choosing a GPU. Make sure you have a big enough power supply to power this card. Also you might wanna look into NVIDIA gtx 970 because its the same price (less video memory) but faster speeds.

Seth, there too many to list. What is your goal in asking this? Do you have a motherboard that you want to get this memory for, or do you have this memory, and are trying to find a motherboard to put with it? If the latter, maybe you could specify your requirements... i.e. Price is most important, or performance, or best gaming for the buck, etc.

It's not a classic motherboard graphics card, it is an actual dedicated system, but it's not a classic dedicated card. It is built into the CPU (new fangled tech). They generate significantly less heat, and use significantly less battery. The Nvidia counterpart is probably more powerful, but also more overheat+power usage.What you're really asking is, "will this run ____". The answer is yes. Obviously no competition for a well-built desktop, but as gaming laptops go, I've found the A8-4500 to be sufficient for smoothly running KSP, Planetside2, Gmod/HL:____/Nitronic rush, etc.I also do 3d modelling, until I dropped a screw on the motherboard, it was able to run both Inventor (solidworks), and Maya no problem.

Well the mother board isn't the problem, It can handle the graphics card just fine! Its the power supply!You just need to see how many watts your processor uses. And add it with how many watts your graphics card uses, then give yourself about a 100w "safe zone" So, 300w + maybe a 95w processor makes about 400, then give yourself headroom. I would recommend getting a 500 watt power supply. Also, I would not recommend using your graphics card without the proper power supply, it may cause damage.

On the Asus compatibility list (at http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z97A/HelpDesk_QVL/) it shows only one "official" Gigabyte video card: GV-N670C-2GD (BIOS: V80.04.19.00.2E) This does not mean it won't work.. They typically try to push ASUS branded cards and it would be impossible to test every card on the market. The board does support 3 simultaneous monitors off it's 4 stock video connectors (VGA, DVI-D, HDMI and Display Port) and the board comes with a NVIDIA branded SLI cable (ASUS P/N: 14010-00130600). I would call Gigabyte and ask. Great motherboard.. Make sure to update the BIOS. If you are planning on running Windows Server 2008/2012 the network card has major driver issues and for other drivers such as SATA/RAID you will need to use manufactures drivers (INTEL).. Otherwise download the NEW drivers from ASUS for Windows 7/8/8.1 and it should go smoothly (Drivers on DVD are older and have bugs supporting booting from RAID arrays). The board also consumes very little power and supports SSD's. - Hope this helps.

I have a MSI GTX650 card with 2 gigs of GDDR5 memory on my motherboard works great!

Look at the memory compatibility list in the manual and online. The Asus is fussy and just does not work with some memory timings.

yes this grahpics card should support the 6670 gpu for dual graphics, if you look at the apu a10 6800K box it has a list of gpu's that supports dual graphics which is the 6670 and the 6570. i haven't used the apu's but i have used both gpu's and if you want to run dual graphics with multi-monitor you should get the that gigabyte 6670 2gb model but if you looking to run one monitor and want something cheaper you can try getting a 6570 and you should be ok. Lastly if you are looking to build a apu build by fast ddr3 1866mhz and up because apu's are work better with high frequency ram, just check the mother board you will be using to see what memory speeds it supports for ram

Hello Brooks, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to answer your question. Part number KHX16C9T3K2/8X and all of our current 4GB memory modules, are not compatible with the GA-X58A-UD3R. This motherboard requires low density 4GB memory modules and all of our currently manufactured 4GB modules are high density. Density concerns the size and number of memory chips on the module. The discontinued compatible part number is KVR1333D3N9K3/12G, which is a Kit of three 4GB memory modules. Two of those kits would get you the desired 24GB. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

It should not be a problem if you download software from NVIDIA and make sure it is right for the OS. I have three Gigabyte motherboards and one has NVIDIA but I would check their sites for the specs.

I have the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme and the Corsair Dominator DDR3 2400 MHz was not listed either. I called product support at ASUS and they told me it was good to go. I installed 64GB and have not had one problem with it. It is amazing and lighting fast. Anyway, call the product support for the motherboard manufacturer and they can tell you exactly; the spec sheets with board are printed sometimes prior to new memory chips becoming available. Let me know if this helps, . . . and have fun with the system you're building once you get it together.
