Hey guys,

I was kinda wondering, what is the most powerful Nividia VGA that my Gigabyte GA-EP31-DS3L v1 motherboard could handle?

That's about it, thanks in advance :).

Hey. Your motherboard could use any PCI-e card. There's no such thing as "too powerful" so that should make you happy.

It's the psu you have to consider if you get one of those x2 cards or run SLI.

It's good to know that my MB is going to handle any VGA card. Thanks.

Yeah I know that I'm gonna need a more powerful PSU if I ever got a new VGA card.

BTW, are you sure that my MB can have a SLI card? it only has 1 VGA socket, I asked the guy who collected my PC together and he said that SLI cards need more than 1 VGA socket which means my MB can't have 1 of those!! I just wanna make sure..

No your board does not support SLI.
