Question 1

Does this card have a 6/8 pin power connection or is it powered from the MB?

Accepted Answer

This card gets its power from the Motherboard, no pin power connection.

Question 2

Is this card VR ready?

Accepted Answer

It will do VR, it is the minimum specification necessary to run VR according to Oculus Rift.

Question 3

What is the minimum power supply requirement for this card?

Accepted Answer

it depends on what all you have on your computer so just google the individual wattage requirements of each component and add them together. You will want to have about a power supply about 20% more powerful than your calculated number just to be safe.  But if you are running a simple set up you shouldn't need anything more than 550 watts.  I run 6 of these cars on a mining rig with only 850 watt psu.

Question 4

Does it fit in this motherboard?
Search this in new egg.
ASRock X370 PRO4 AM4 AMD Promontory X370 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Accepted Answer

It should work. This card fits in a PCI Express 3.0 slot which the motherboard has. I also verified compatibility on pc part picker .com. That is a really good resource for checking if PC parts will work together. Sorry for the weird spacing on the link, it wouldn't let me post a reply with an external link in it.

Question 5

will this card work with an ASUS GL12CP-DS751 without having to change out the power supply? To shortcut, the power supply in question is a 300 watt.

Accepted Answer

I don't know for sure - but i don't think it will be a problem - spending on the configuration of the ASUS GL12CP-DS751 (I didn't look in too much detail but seemed like there were maybe some options on this model) it seems to come with a nvidia geforce gtx 1050 with 2gb RAM - this asus card you are asking about is the same card essentially except it is 4GB RAM, so the power usage will not be much more.  that being said - it seems this build is pretty close to maxing out the PSU - and depending on what other peripherals (USB or other HDD/ SSD) you use - it could max out the PSU - you can use this online power supply calculator (google PSU Calc - wont let me enter link in answer) and enter your exact components to get a better idea

Question 6

Will this card works without "HEAT problem", if we will upgrade for our ASUS ROG model G29AJ-US002T? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

This card will not over heat most Nvidia cards actually run generally cooler then radeon cards in general. You should be just fine. Great card by the way.
