Mobo handle new videocard?

[daffyracers03]

How can I tell if you mobo can handle a new Video card I went to the Gigabyte site and I couldnt find it.

I'm using a Gigabyte 965P-DS3.

Can it handle a VisionTek Radeon HD 3870 - graphics adapter GDDR4- Radeon HD 3870 - 512 MB

is it just a standard pci video card?

Yeah that card will work it's pci express 16 and that board has one of those card slots on the motherboard.

Yeah, it will support it... But, it is PCI-E 2.0, which is backwards compatible with a regular PCI-E x16. So, there might be a little bottleneck, but it won't be noticeable until you upgrade to a PCI-E 2.0 motherboard. Good Price : Performance ratio on that particular card.
