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?

Your motherboard is compatible with that video card. With the hardware you have, you should be able to run Diablo 3 on medium settings, maybe high settings without lag. You will be able to run TF2 on high without lag. You will be able to use any PCI express video card. The r7 250 is not the only choice you have. Hope I was able to help.
