Yes, a Nvidia GPU will work on it. Just make sure your GF has a FM2 or FM2+ CPU.

All motherboards can run whatever GPU they want, this particular board - I couldn't find where it said Crossfire - can only "Crossfire" or run multiple, usually 2, AMD GPUs at once for more performance. The nVidia equivalent is "SLI". So yes, you can run a nVidia card on this mobo, but you cannot SLI or run multiple nVidia GPUs on this.
