What is the most highest graphics card i can give on my AMD A10-5800k? Either Crossfire/DualGraphics or not.

Note: I have a DDR3 socket only on my MoBo and i regret buying this -_-

for dual graphics a 6670 or 6570 ( DDR3 models )........... I know somebody will say DDR5 is faster blah, blah, blah........... get a DDR3 model to play nice with the controller and to play nice with the system ram.......... harmony.

you can put a titan on it if you want. there's no limitation other than the cpu.

Switch off the integrated graphics and put on anything you want. For an A10 (about the same performance as an i3), I'd go to say max gtx 760, radeon R9 270x

Add on gfx cards are stand a lone cards. The only restriction they have is the size of the psu. That said, the type of game played can hurt you if you get am off balanced pc. Try play an MMO with a weak CPU, and the gpu will make little difference. Play BF4 with a strong CPU and a weak gpu, and your fps gonna suck.

Best bet; dump the apu, get a 750k(OC) and a gtx 770- r9 280x. Play anything well.

I'd like to use R9 270x, but R9 270x is DDR5.. i only have a socket for DDR3 and i hate it!!!

you are slightly confused. The SYSTEM RAM is DDR3, industry standard currently. The GPU RAM is memory built onto the gpu itself, so can run DDR2, 3 or 5 depending on age and line. 2 totally separate things.

whats probably confusing you is the fact that an APU uses SYSTEM RAM for memory, as the gpu is actually an integrated part of the CPU chip. If you turn off the integrated graphics and get an add-on card (any) then the CPU uses SYSTEM RAM, and the GPU uses its own VRAM

You mean i can use DDR5 on my MoBo? but isn't the PCIe of DDR3 and DDR5 are different sockets?

No - integrated graphics uses some of your ddr3 ram. The better discrete graphics cards use faster ddr5 ram.

i think i get it now..??

DDR3 and DDR5 pins are the same (x16)?? it is just like a newer chipset i think? right? so therefore, i can use DDR5 VGAs on my MoBo? but the box of my MoBo says DDR3.. so i therefore think that VGAs with DDR3 only are allowed... im so confused sorry noob here </3

No - DDR3 is ram - goes in ram dimm slots.

ddr5 is part of the graphics card.

Correct. The DDR3 is the type of memory stick that goes in the long vertical slots in the upper right corner of the board. DDR5 is the type of memory built into the newer, better graphics cards that go in the upper long horizontal slot directly underneath the CPU.

As far as being a noob, don't feel bad. Everyone was a noob at one time, and only experience will change that.
