Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H + Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3 Compatibilty?

[Feluda]

I have Gigabyte H61M-D2H motherboard and I want to purchase Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3. I have confusion is both are compatible?

Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H
Memory Frequency :800 MHz, 1066 MHz, 1333 MHz

Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3
Memory: 128-bit, 1 GB DDR3 Memory with 1600 MHz

As I know Gigabyte H61M-D2H doesn't support 1600 MHz Memory frequency. So, my question is "Is Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H compatible with Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3?"

^^it is 100% compatible buddy...
Gigabyte motherboard supports frequency of 1333MHZ for RAM and not for graphic card....
graphic card goes to your PCI-e slot
so it is compatible

Get the GDDR5 version.It's only ~500 extra on flipkart.Locally you can find it around 5600/-
Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1GB DDR5

But
Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1GB DDR5 support 1920 x 1080 Maximum Digital Resolution
while
Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6670 1 GB DDR3 support 2560 x 1600 Maximum Digital Resolution

So which is better?

it doesnt matter, I dont think you have monitor more then 1920x1080...
DDR5 has faster memory clock so it performs far better then ddr3...
with this graphic card you can easily play recent games at low to medium setting @ 1080p
But if your monitor is 1366*768 then you can even max out graphic settings to High.

kindly mention which PSU you are using!

I'll change the PSU...I have frontech 450...& I have AOC e2237wh 21.5 (1920 x 1080).....previously I have ASUS P8H61M-LX which give better graphics performence (5.1 graphics score) than Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H (4.6 graphics score) with same processor (i3 2100 2nd gen)...vga output is too bad...after connecting via HDMI graphics little bit better but not upto the mark....Do u know why this happened?

@Feluda,it is usually a thumb of rule in pc parts that within same series cheaper means less power which means to sell them companies use tactics like 2gb ram,2560*1600 max resolution etc which is practically useless for cheaper cards.just because you fitted a hundai santro engine with a ferrari body does not mean it will run like ferrari.to use more than 1 gb ram & smoothly get display resolution above 1920*1080 in games you need a card which costs more than 20000.

I already have 2gb RAM ....installing a graphics card is good option....but i want to know why this happened?
ASUS P8H61-M LX Motherboard price Rs. 3850 & Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2H Motherboard price Rs. 3736
Almost same price. I thinnk integrated intel HD Graphics depend on motherboard quality.

No. Starting from the 1st generation Core series, the IGP is integrated inside the Processor and not present in motherboard. Motherboards just have display outputs like VGA, DVI or HDMI which are driven by the IGP integrated inside the Processor. And Whitestar_999 was talking about video memory of the Graphics card, not your system Ram.
