No. If someone told you that using AMD gpu with Intel CPU is bad, they were trolling you.

AMD graphics cards work with PCI Express, same thing as Nvidia graphics cards. Anything that uses PCI Express will work on a motherboard that uses PCI Express, it's the same physical slot.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I'm running an Intel i7 5820K with an AMD Radeon VII and I haven't had any issues. My RX480 and RX570 played nice back when I had an 8600K, and my Nvidia GPUs had 0 issues with my Ryzens (other than SLI, that didn't play as nice with my 2700X as it did with my 8600K). CPUs and GPUs don't need to be the same brand at all.

Before installing the new AMD driver (when the card is already in your system), clean any traces of the Nvidia drivers you had installed. Install the new AMD drivers, and then enjoy it :)

You ARE being trolled but not by anyone here. Also, by your line of reasoning, why would intel cpus work with nvidia gpus, considering they too are different completely different companies? ?
