Hello community,
I have created this thread because I am unsure of choosing new graphic card for my computer. The following graphic card that I am interested in: NVidia GTX 980 (4GB VRAM). Current website that I am looking to buy this GPU from:
http://
My current hardware:
- Motherboard: ASRock H61M-S
- Processor: Intel Core I5-3570 (Quad Core, 3.40GHz)
- Memory RAM: Kingston 4GB 2X = 8GB Altogether
- Graphic Card: Gigabyte HD 7870 OC Edition (2GB VRAM)
- Power Supply: XFX ProSeries 550W Power Supply Unit (Core Edition) - P1-550S-XXB9
My monitor has 1600x900 resolution and is connected via HDMI.
My questions are:
1. What sort of manufacturer is the best to choose in terms of performance, cooling, noise, etc. (EVGA, MSI, ASUS, ZOTAC, GIGABYTE) - Please tell me the choice and explain.
2. Does this GPU (GTX 980) will be compatible with my current hardware. For example, does it fit with my motherboard and will collaborate with power supply.
3. The recommended memory ram is 12GB to handle this GPU (game debate website - GPU compare says), I have monitor with resolution of 1600x900, and does this mean that I will need additional 4GB of RAM to run this GPU?
