What does max Graphic memory means?

Matz.

When using an integrated graphics card part of your RAM gets to be your Graphics memory in that case. The specs are telling you how much of your installed RAM could be used as Graphics memory.

So if I used dedicated gpu, this spec does not limit my gpu memory?

Exactly. That spec will not apply to any dedicated GPUS.

Okay, So does this motherboard will limit my graphics card performance, for example , I use rtx 3050 on this MOBO.

Well it's PCIe 2.0, and the best CPU you could put on that would get run around by basically anything modern even at low budget.

No it will not limit your dedicated Graphics card is what i tried to say. If you use a 3050 with 8GB of VRAM all of it will work and it will not be limited.

What could limit a RTX3050s performance tho is the low bandwidth of PCI-E Gen 2 this mainboard seems to have. Im not sure how big the impact would be though. image.png.70df5e1846edfef2c35331c3efe31112.png

The PCIe slot only being 2.0 is not a problem.

Gaming requires very little PCIe bandwidth, and the GPU you got is not really going to need that much to begin with before running into other internal bottlenecks.

 

Here is a test that was done using an RTX 3080:

In other words, you could get a GPU that's 3 times as powerful as your current RTX 3050, and you would still only be bottlenecked ~4% by the PCIe bandwidth, when gaming.

 

The difference is basically a rounding error.

 

 

The bigger issue is that it's an LGA 1155 motherboard.

Even the best CPU you can get for that motherboard, the i7-3770K, is about half as fast as the AMD 5600X in single core performance, and about 1/3 as fast in multi-threaded workloads. And the 5600X is a mid-range CPU for 200 dollars.

That board was good 10 years ago, but now it's pretty terrible.

The 3050's hit a bit worse as it's an x8 card, not x16.  So it's basically PCIE 1.1 x16 speeds.  (But still won't be a huge concern.)

(Just don't put a 6500XT on a PCIE2 board.  OOF.)
