Graphics Card and RAM Compatibility

moazzo

Hello, i have an Acer Predator G3600, my current graphics card is a NVIDIA GT 420, ive been wanting to upgrade the RAM and graphics card but i have no idea what is compatible with my pc.

 

1. How much RAM can my motherboard handle?

 

2. Are the following graphics cards compatible with my PC?

Hi moazzo

 

Go to Crucial & download and run the system scanner. This will advise you on how much memory your MB can handle and even make recommendations on RAM that will suit.

 

As for the graphics cards, they both appear suitable, just remember, as they're "double height" cards, that they won't interfere with any other item you may have in your PCI slots. A quick look inside your case will confirm this!
