Can i use a gddr5 graphics card on an intel g33/31 chipset motherboard?

i am planning on picking up an nvidia geforce gtx590 or the gts250..which of these will work properly depending upon my motherboard?|||It all depends on what PCI connection slot your mother board has.

if it has a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot them you can happily use the GDDR5 card.,

But do check the system specs for compatability|||if your motherboard has pcie x16 slot then you can buy any pcie x16 graphic card|||Either will work, there's no issue with motherboard compatibility, as any motherboard with a PCI-E x16 slot can accept any PCI-E x16 card (version 2.0, 2.1, 1.1 etc does not matter)



But depending upon other factors (your CPU, power supply capacity, case size and budget) one of them might not be practical.



The GTS 250 is an older card that's been replaced by the GTS 450. It's a $100 model which requires a 450W power supply. The GTX 590 is an exteremely high-end card, that costs $750 and requires a minimum 700W power supply.|||We need more information.



The following are important to take into account when you are purchasing any new component (especially a graphics card)



1. Does your motherboard have the correct slot/port required?



Exclusive to your situation: Make sure you have the proper port (PCIe 16x) on your board.

2. Is your power supply strong enough?



Exclusive to your situation: Make sure your power supply can handle the additional draw from those cards (around 250W, maybe more?)
