Thought he may have been on the older GDDR3 and trying to install a newer GDDR5 but he's not, so that point is irrelevant.


I'm trying to figure out your line of thinking here, though. Why do you believe the vram of the previous card affects whether or not you can install a new one with a different vram type?

Doesn't the mobo have to be compatible for GDDR5? Guess at worst it would just downgrade it but still thought it might have been a potential issue.

Am I off base there?
