Question 1

Does this card have a 6 pin power plug or not? I see several reviews on this card that say it doesnt even though it clearly says so in description and is even pictured with one. Want to make sure it does have a 6 pin power plug before I buy two of them.

Accepted Answer

Sorry just saw this question today... mine has a 6 pin socket and a white light is constantly lit when 6-pin is plugged in [on back side of card just below the socket].

Question 2

Can you crossfire two of these cards?????

Accepted Answer

If the motherboard supports it and you have enough available lanes then you can crossfire any AMD card with any other AMD card. There are some quirks when you start mixing cards but crossfire is really pretty easy to set up. Especially now that you don't need bridges to connect the cards.
I will just put my 2-cents in and say you'd be better off spending the money you would spend on 2 cards for a stronger single card (unless you play very simple games). 4GB is starting to be the minimum for the more graphic intensive games if you like turning up settings and playing at a decent fps.

Question 3

Does this card work with PCI-E 2.0?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will work just fine. P.C.I. Express 3.0 has never gotten close to it's maximum bandwidth with any video card produced at this time. This card has a 128 bit memory bus and will still outperform my R9 270X I had been using with a 256 bit memory bus. I wanted a card with 4 gig of memory and one that did not run on motherboard slot power, so this is the best card I have seen in the RX-560 flavor with the added 6 Pin running directly from your power supply.
It's good but if you plan on up-grading to a Ryson 7 with DDR 4 ram within the next year I would wait and get a RX-580 with 8 gig of DDR5 since their prices have been dropping back to normal.

Question 4

Can we kindly get some more people to review this card from Asus? This has to be selling like crazy and there are only 10 reviews and it's been this way for months and months. Please guys/gals take the time and give the most detailed review you can if you have purchased and used this video card.  No one has any benchmarks posted as well and that would also be great to see. Thanks Everyone. Sincerely, Steven Level

Doesn't like xfire or 2.0 boards. I ordered two hoping to xfire them and i couldn't even get one of them to run at x16. Tried it on a 3.0 board and was able to get one to run at x16 but not both. I ended up returning both cards for one 8GB card. If you have a 3.0 board and only want 4gb its good for the price but I would not recommend buying specially since its been discontinued a few times. I would couch up the extra hundred and go with the MSI 8GB rx580. I had nothing but problems with the card and i originally asked for replacements but newegg said they were no longer selling the card so I had to get a refund and buy a different card.

Question 5

How many compute units? 14 or 16? AMD says sellers have to reveal this.

Accepted Answer

16 my bad just look

Question 6

What psu is required for this graphics card to operate?  Thanks in advance for your input?

Accepted Answer

550 watts min.

Question 7

If all else is equal, which is faster, an RX-560 or an R7-370?

Accepted Answer

The RX-560 will definitely out perform the R7. I have a R9-270 that comes close the RX-560 but overall the RX-560 also out performs the R9. The RX also uses 1/3 of the power of the R9 and runs cooler. Even though the memory interface is 256 bit on the R9, it still can't keep up with the RX. The GPU processor on the RX is far superior to the R7 and R9 in my opinion.

Question 8

Is this Card VR Ready?

Accepted Answer

No but I believe the RX 570 is

Question 9

Is the spec correct with 1024 steaming processers and not 886 like some others?

Accepted Answer

GPU-Z shows 1024 shaders on this card also shows 16 ROPs/ 64 TMUs.

Question 10

I have only bought Radeon's and sold my R9 270X cards I had running in Cross-Fire back in November of 2017 for the same price I bought them used at. Will this card outperform the (R9 270x, 2 gig DDR5& 256 bit ) with it's 4 gig, DDR5, faster clock, but only the 128bit ?
