Video card for apu/cpu

camplo87 · Mar 25, 2014

Im interested in buying a gpu for my a8 6600 apu and a88x-pro mobo

And i hear the r7 250 is the only compatible card, will this be able to run tf2 and diablo 3 at medium settings?

Also want to know if a video card with ddr5 can be hooked up to my a88x-pro mobo?

I realized how badly i messed up in choosing my gaming parts. But its too late to return my mobo and cpu/apu. This is my first gaming build.

This card the r7 250 has ddr5. Is that compatible with my mobo?

Last question first: the ddr5 on the video card has Nothing to do with the memory (ram) on the board and will not affect your mobo; this is dedicated RAM for video only and is designed for video cards only. DDR5 for mother boards is a few years away.
I just did a little research and found NOthing to indicate that the R7 250 was the only card that would work with your mobo. In fact, if your mobo is an ASUS A88X pro, it supports 3-way CrossFireX. There is no mention of limited video card version. Anyone knowing otherwise please speak up, but to me it looks like you can use up to an R9 290X in that mobo.
Now that would rock !!
