Is this memory compatible with the RX 500 series?

Since its a lot cheaper in Australia now, I've decided to get the Corsair Vengeance Pro Rgb. But on this website https://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/corsair-vengeance-rgb-pro-16gb-2x8gb-3200mhz-ddr4/CMW16GX4M2C3200C16 where i'm purchasing the memory from, it says that its compatible with the 300 and 400 series and doesn't mention that it's compatible with the 500 series. So i'd just like to make sure whether it's compatible or not.

 

The Gpu that i'm going to purchase is the Rx 590

Thank You

GPU isn't dependent at all on system memory 

 

Dunno what it's referencing really

I can't find where it says so, but memory compatibility has NOTHING to do with the graphics card. The GPU doesnt even access it directly, it's always through the CPU

Thats what I thought at first, but then I saw the specs saying its compatible only with the 300 and 400 series, so I just wanted to clarify it and make sure.

1. That refers to the motherboard, not graphics card

 

2. Just because they didnt list it doesn't mean it doesn't work, just means they haven't tested the kit in those platforms.
