    Can this motherboard support this graphics card?


    I wanted to know if this motherboard: Gigabyte GA-73VM-S2 can support this graphics card: GIGABYTE GEFORCE 210 GV-N210D3-512I 512MB PCI-E RETAIL

    thanks in advance! :)

    P.S. the reason why i want to buy this graphics card is to play Counter-Strike Source better... so if anyone got any good suggetion plz let me know

    I assume you already have the motherboard..if so the card should be fine..if not its also fine.Don't have to be anything over the top to run CS.

    Yes that board will support that Graphics card. But you really want to be thinking more about whether your PSU is up to the upgrade too. Also is your CPU ok and will it bottleneck that card?

    One other thing to keep in mind about Counter Strike Source is that it's more CPU dependant than GPU. Allthough after the recent update it just got it does seem to need a bit more graphics power due to the slightly updated Engine.

    Might be an idea to fill out your full system specs in your profile too

    Yes, that board will support the Ge Force 210. Will you improve game-play? Probably not by much. The 210 isn't a gaming card; it's for htpc's. Unfortunately, the 210 doesn't even come close to delivering anything near acceptable fps: Game Benchmarks: Crysis : GeForce GT 220 And 210: DirectX 10.1 And 40nm Under $80. Yes, Source isn't as demanding as most modern games, but it's not Pac-Man either.

    For $50.00, if the intent is to get better game performance, you'd be better off spending that coin elsewhere. How much can you spend?

    Cpu's don't support graphics cards; however, motherboards do, and yes, either one of those two will work just fine with the board.

    For reference: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...on,2646-7.html

    Go as high as you can.
