Question 1

would this work on my acer aspire x1470?

Accepted Answer

According to the Acer Aspire X1470 Manual, it has a PCIe x16 slot, which will happily accommodate this card. If your computer is a low profile computer, this card comes with a low-profile bracket, that can replace the default one it comes installed with, at the expense of losing the VGA connection, thus leaving you only with the DVI and HDMI outputs. If you are comfortable enough check inside the case to verify that your motherboard does have a a PCI Express port available, or if it's already being used, you can replace the existing card with this one and there shouldn't be a problem.

Disclaimer: I am only going based on the Acer Support Manual for the model you listed. There may be sub-models and may vary in configuration. I hope it helps at least somewhat. Try doing a little bit of research on your motherboard if you are unsure.

Question 2

Is this card connected to the PSU directly? Or does it get its power from the PCIe x16 slot?

Accepted Answer

It gets power thru PCIe x16 slot, no connection for psu, its all from pci slot, thats one of the reason s i bought it.

Question 3

I have dell inspiron3647.
Can this card fit?

Accepted Answer

Looking at that motherboard, you have an PCIe X16 which should work fine.
When i purchase this card i had an PCIe x8 that i had to melt the end of it to fit this card since is an PCIe x8 card not and PCIe x12, even though the psychical shape is designed for that.
I went a bit crazy with this card, and i had it installed successfully in an Dell R610 server in a PCIe x8 slot where the end was cut off, and i have it passed through ESXi 5.5u2 UEFI mode to an Windows 8.1 with UEFI as well. In BIOS mode will bluescreen so don't even waste your time. So, all in all, i've played Call of Duty 4 from a VM no problem. I have this setup running fine for half a year still running strong where the server is on 24/7. For the sound i opted for a USB passthrough for a 7.1 USB external sound system. The low profile and low consumption of this card, work very well on my dell R610. The HDMI cable that i've purchased i had to cut off half-side of it to be able to plug it into the HDMI port. So, if you're looking for a card that's been running non-stop without a failure, this one seem to do the job well.

Question 4

Is this card PCIE*16 half height?

Accepted Answer

It comes full height, but you removed the VGA connection and then remove the full height tang and replace it with the low profile tang. If you require a vga connection half height, this isn't for you, but if you have a more up to date monitor, this is an excellent choice. You'll like its responsiveness. I use it in a low profile acer, and it works beautifully.

Question 5

Does this card support DVI Dual-Link for monitors?

Accepted Answer

Shalom Lucas Don't bother . I have this card and I found out that the ddr 3 is not as good as the gddr 5 . If you are looking for a middle weight card get the 265 or 260 R7 then R9 is next. I Have built a news system running the A 10 7850 Kavari APU and this card just brings it down even with the APU's 8 video cores. If you already have one I will sell you mine for 40$ and you can cross fire them

Question 6

Where can I find the drivers and installation files for this video card?

Accepted Answer

The product comes with an installation disc or you can find them on AMD's website.

Question 7

I am currently using a a 4K Samsung 50" Smart TV running at 1920 x 1080 using Radeon HD 5450 in a Compaq CQ5210F.
The Smart TV can run 4K videos from youtube.  They look great!
Will this card(XFX Radeon R7 240 R7-240A-CLF2 2GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI ) work in my system?
How much power does it require?
My main uses will be multiple windows in financial software(Schwab), spreadsheets and many megabyte photos.

Accepted Answer

It can, and the power usage is 30-35 watts.

Question 8

good for gaming? was running ati radeon hd 6570

Accepted Answer

Not really. When introduced last year, it was a good entry level value at it's price. Now a better choice for an entry level card is Nvidia's GeForce GT 730 64-bit GDDR5, even though it's $6 more.

Question 9

I need a graphics card for work.  Want to run 4k@6hz with 2 1920x1080 monitors.  Will this work?

Accepted Answer

it should but I would recommend something a little more powerful like the 
 XFX Core Edition R7-250A-CLF4 Radeon R7 250 2GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 Cross Fire X Support Low Profile Ready Video Card but my opinion though. I would do some research if you have time and find the one that works for you. good luck to you michael

Question 10

Will this R7 240 work in an old Optiplex620 with PCIE 2.0?

Accepted Answer

It should work fine. Keep in mind some dells have the motherboard on the opposite side of the case compared to most of the other computer makes this causes some graphics cards to not fit.
