is H61M-DS2 DVI compatible with gtx 780 ti

Xmedicated · Sep 3, 2014

i found a site telling me that it is, but i would just like some confirmation

my current spec is: i7 3770 @ 3.4GHz
12GB DDR @798MHz
AMD R9 270x OC

You will be fine. PCPartPicker is mostly right and almost 95% of the time.

Yes its compatible but will lose some performance as 780 Ti is optimal with PCIe 3.0 while the MoBo has PCIe 2.0, the performance drop can be anywhere b/w 2-10% based on the usage.

but it is still gonna be alot greater than my R9 270x ?, i am doing a full new build in time, but right now dont have the money, but i can afford the gpu

Yes absolutely.

Xmedicated :

Yes its worth the money even with slight drop in performance, the drop is not gonna be more than 5-7% at most times, and 780 Ti will obviously be a lot better performer than 270X. You can also wait for the latest Nvidia series to release which'll most likely drop 700 series prices, or maybe you can even get one from the latest series

You aren't going to lose any performance in a 2.0 slot. You just won't

This is with a Titan. You can see there is no difference at all. So sorry, but you are wrong. Even SLI titans at 4k show no difference at 2.0 vs. 3.0.

Well I did not do any experiments or anything but did learn this from a well know member in the forum (he shall remain anonymous).

tiny voices · Sep 3, 2014

Feel free to PM me his username. I would love to talk and see if he has benchmarks to back up his claim. I'm very curious.

As far as I'm concerned, the benchmark I posted is the truth and OP will lose ZERO performance.

MeteorsRaining · Sep 3, 2014

That'd be even better! Even I didn't do any experiments, just speaking from seeing what other respectable members have posted over the years (or months), can't really name one but I developed this concept that PCIe 3.0 will have max performance, but I'm open to corrections (one just made: PCI 2.0 is no different from 3.0)

tiny voices · Sep 3, 2014

It is a fact that with current cards there is no difference between 3.0 and 2.0. That benchmark proves it.

OP, DO NOT worry about 2.0. You will not lose any performance.

Thanks for correcting me btw, learning is slow process, and I'd back myself up or atleast check twice before mentioning about PCI affect on GPU from now on, didn't really mean to show the wrong way to anyone, a genuine mistake from my side.

OP, enjoy!

tiny voices · Sep 3, 2014

Its all good!

It took me forever to learn everything I do an I still learn new things all the time.

MeteorsRaining · Sep 3, 2014

That's the beauty of it. Peace

lightcloud · Sep 3, 2014

Yes I made a mistake too OP. Sorry for the confusion.

Xmedicated · Sep 3, 2014

thnx for all the replys, im gonna wait for the 800 series to release then prob buy it still and later on buy another

MeteorsRaining · Sep 3, 2014

Good decision, cheers!
