Does a motherboard have anything to do with the performance of the graphics card?

Okay, so as I have mentioned in other threats, I have a GTX 780, which does not perform as well as its supposed to.
But anyway - I was wondering, and this might be a stupid question, I know, if the motherboard it self has any influence on how well the card performs?
Beucase I'm about to buy a MSI GTX 970 4GB - But that would just be stupid if it's the motherboard I should upgrade. I know which motherboard to buy, if that's the case.

Thank you.

The difference between the 780 & 970 is not significant. The 970 is better but not enough to justify an upgrade from the 780. My 780 with an OC is capable of 60 fps at high/ultra at 1080p in all the games I play and the benchmarks support that. The only games that dont seem to run at 60fps are those badly coded for PC where all high systems struggle.

if you have a gtx 780, don't bother getting a 970, as they are basically the same cards, yet the 970 is maxwell, and is more power efficient. if you buy a 970, you wont see that much of a performance boost.

anyway, for your question, the motherboard does not effect the GPU performance.

I have been trying to figure out what the hell is going on with my card, and I really can't find an answer.
I don't understand the thing with the two cards, aren't the 970 4gb better than the 780?!

I was planning on running SLI, which was why the motherboard upgrade could be amazing, if the graphics card performance would improve by getting a new one.
