Radeon XFX 7850 DD Compatible with Asus M5A97?

[zachmartin1202]

Hi, Im about to order a XFX Radeon 7850 2GB GDDR5 Double Dissapation GPU. I have already bought the Asus M5A97 Motherboard with an AMD FX 8150 CPU, so I am unable to change those items. Are all of these compatible with one another? If not, do you have any other GPUS that perform the same for the same price? I am getting my GPU for $247 with shipping and rebates included. Thanks.

Yes its compatible. All modern video cards are compatible with all modern motherboards. Be it Intel or AMD, as they all use the same interface (PCI-E), there are different versions of PCI-E like 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, but they're all compatible with each other.
