Does this work with a Radeon RX480?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Can this use a gddr5 gpu?

Accepted Answer

Most any GPU that plugs into a PCIe slot should run fine with this board, and if it has GDDR5 memory, it's a pretty recent GPU too, so that only helps. Anything like say, a GTX 7, 9 or 10 series, or an AMD RX GPU, etc. will do fine. Just plug it in, install the drivers from NVidia or AMD's website, or the CD in the GPU box, and you're good to go, 95% of the time.
