Are all motherboards compatible with all GPU?

How much does it cost to replace a motherboard?

We found this “Ask a Geek” article from a year and a half ago that says you should expect to pay anywhere from $250 to $500 for a new motherboard, but that’s including the cost of the motherboard, a new operating system license to replace the one your computer came with (which likely is not licensed to work on the new

You can also run Microsoft’s DirectX diagnostic tool to get this information:

From the Start menu, open the Run dialog box.

Type dxdiag.

Click on the Display tab of the dialog that opens to find graphics card information.

From budget to mainstream to high-end, these are the best graphics cards for your gaming PC.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. The best graphics card: perfect for 1440p and 144Hz displays.

AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB. Powerful and packing HBM2, this is AMD’s best GPU.

AMD Radeon RX 570 4GB.

AMD Radeon RX 560 4GB.

Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, better known as PCI Express (and abbreviated PCIe or PCI-E) and is a computer expansion card standard. PCI-E is used in motherboard-level connections and as an expansion card interface. The new standard for personal computers is called PCIe 3.0.

Here’s the answer you probably don’t want to hear. In most cases, it isn’t possible to upgrade a laptop’s graphics card. If you want better gaming performance, the only sensible option is to buy a new laptop.

Update drivers in Windows 10

Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.

Expand one of the categories to find the name of your device, then right-click (or tap and hold) it, and select Update Driver.

Select Search automatically for updated driver software.

To launch DXDIAG:

In Windows 7 and Vista, click the Start button, type dxdiag in the search bar, and then press Enter . In XP, from the Start menu, select Run. Type dxdiag and click OK.

The DXDIAG panel will open. Click the Display tab.

If your system has a dedicated graphic card installed, and you want to find out how much Graphics Card memory your computer has, open Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution. Click on Advanced Setting. Under the Adapter tab, you will find the Total Available Graphics Memory as well as the Dedicated Video memory.

Windows 8

Open the Control Panel.

Select Display.

Select Screen Resolution.

Select Advanced Settings.

Select the Adapter tab. You will see how much Total Available Graphics Memory and Dedicated Video Memory is available on your system.

A quick rule of thumb is that you should have twice as much system memory as your graphics card has VRAM, so a 4GB graphics card means you’d want 8GB or more system memory, and an 8GB card ideally would have 16GB of system memory. There’s technically nothing stopping you from using an 8GB card with 8GB of RAM, though.

Find out how many cores your processor has. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Select the Performance tab to see how many cores and logical processors your PC has.

Core i3 processors have two cores, Core i5 CPUs have four and Core i7 models also have four. Some Core i7 Extreme processors have six or eight cores. Generally speaking, we find that most applications can’t take full advantage of six or eight cores, so the performance boost from extra cores isn’t as great.

Windows 10 supports a maximum of two physical CPUs, but the number of logical processors or cores varies based on the processor architecture. A maximum of 32 cores is supported in 32-bit versions of Windows 8, whereas up to 256 cores are supported in the 64-bit versions.

You have to look at sockets and cores per socket. In this case you have 1 physical CPU (socket) which has 4 cores (cores per socket). To get a complete picture you need to look at the number of threads per core, cores per socket and sockets. If you multiply these numbers you will get the number of CPUs on your system.

Supposedly any 32 bit 7 edition will support 32 cores. Any 64 bit 7 edition will support 256 cores. Further, the maximum physical processor count recognized depends on the edition. Starter and any Home version support only one physical processor per system.

A core is usually the basic computation unit of the CPU – it can run a single program context (or multiple ones if it supports hardware threads such as hyperthreading on Intel CPUs), maintaining the correct program state, registers, and correct execution order, and performing the operations through ALUs.

The core component which actually communicates with the hardware and takes commmands from the shell is LINUX KERNAL. The Linux kernel is a Unix-like operating system kernel used by a variety of operating systems based on it.

Linus Torvalds

A Linux-based system is a modular Unix-like operating system, deriving much of its basic design from principles established in Unix during the 1970s and 1980s. Such a system uses a monolithic kernel, the Linux kernel, which handles process control, networking, access to the peripherals, and file systems.
