Is this card Socket AM3+

Willmo · Dec 27, 2013

Hi,
I have found a graphics card I like the look of...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-11202-13-20G-Graphics-Express-Technology/dp/B0096WIFU0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387717783&sr=8-1&keywords=amd+sapphire+7750+2gb

But I have looked around and I can't find out whether it is socket AM3+ or not
(I need it to be AM3+ to fit my mobo)
Thanks

You do not need AM3+ socket for graphics card. It uses PCI-Express 3.0.

Willmo :

Only the CPU matters for the socket. All you need to run this card is a PCI-E slot, which I can pretty much promise you have, and a PSU that is strong enough, which I'd wager you already have. What is your PSU?

Asuveroz :

PCI-E 2.0 will actually work just fine. It doesn't require 3.0.

The gddr5 version should perform better http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-HD7750-Retail-PCI-E-Graphics/dp/B00761YFPW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388149826&sr=8-1&keywords=amd+sapphire+7750+gddr5gddr5
All you need is a strong enough PSU...

Thanks for all of the help peeps. At the moment I have a 500W PSU

What is your motherboard?

Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Motherboard

It will work. That graphics card will fit on that motherboard without any problem.

Willmo · Dec 29, 2013

Ok thanks, thats good seeing as I am ordering it now

AM3 is the socket the processor goes into.
Where as a graphic card utilizes a PCI-E slot(Those long ones).
Your Motherboard is compatible but remember to check the dimensions of your case i.e. will the Graphic card fit.

Also remeber to chose a solution

Is the power supply enough? And im pretty sure the graphics card will fit, I checked on amazon and it said that the product (the card I assume) is 40cm long. To me that seems rather large for a graphics card

Asuveroz · Dec 29, 2013

What PSU and computer case do you have?

Asuveroz · Dec 29, 2013

Wow. There is no way that this graphics card is 40 cm long. Probably mistake.

Asuveroz :

Thanks, I was thinking it might have been the boxes dimensions

Asuveroz · Dec 29, 2013

That PSU will provide enough power for your components, but it is not the best quality.
Graphics card will fit in that case with no problem. It is big enough.

EvilNarcotics · Dec 29, 2013

Don't worry about the PSU, it will support the GPU just fine
As for the case, if amazon's info is correct, it will easily support the Card
