Question 1

I saw a review on here which stated that the graphics card was an oem card and not the NVidia GeForce 760.  Can you please verify this?

Accepted Answer

It most certainly is an Nvidia GeForce 760 I currently have it and it works very well. I'm not sure what the other reviews stated, however I have noticed that some models, of this particular Desktop tour, may not be the same. That is something that you would have to verify with some additional research overall the Graphics card  is definitely an Nvidia GeForce 760

Question 2

Will graphics card support multiple monitors?

Accepted Answer

yes. it has an HDMI and two DVis, but it will work best for games if the monitors are the same size due to nVidia's unified desktop thing in windows

Question 3

Can OEM GTX 760 run two 30" monitors at 2560x1600 each comfortably?

Accepted Answer

No Problem.  I'm doing it right now

Question 4

How is the 32gb ram allocated? 8gb x 4 dimms?

Accepted Answer

I bought the ASUS-G10AC a few month ago. It is flawless, fastest machine I've owned. The sound card is fantastic. Do I recommend this computer - absolutely.

Question 5

can I upgrade to GTX 780 GPU ?

Accepted Answer

Can you upgrade to a GTX 780 video card?  Well, yes but not without changing the power supply to one with 600 watts or more.  The power supply in this system is rated 500 watts.

Whenever you buy a pre-built system from vendors such as ASUS, Dell, HP, Sony, etc., the power supplies used are generally just a little more than what the computer they are selling needs.  For example, many Dell computer use 300 and 400 watts power supplies, which work fine for their computers but would require a user to know that upgrades are a bit limited.  Therefore, a buyer (generally speaking, of course) does best to buy a computer that is a bit more capable than they might need at the moment.  That is, if they have any notion that they want more power later.

Having said that, this particular system, though lacking liquid cooling and an SSD, is a very good deal at its price.  Too, the ASUS GTX 760 3GB video card will handle almost everything a computer user would want.  Only hard core gamers would want, and or, feel a need for liquid cooling (if they plan to overclock the cpu), have an SSD for fast startups and very responsive application loading times, and a high end video card, such as the GTX 780 or GTX 780 Ti.  The vast majority of computer users will be very happy with this ASUS G10AC desktop with 32GB of RAM.  I think the ONLY upgrade I would consider at all is a SSD (Solid State Drive).

Question 6

how much of a difference is ther between the models with 8GB DDR3 and the one with 32GB DDR3?
is this good for playing steam games?

Accepted Answer

I purchased the 32 gb off the bat because I know if i bought a lower memory I will uprgade it in the future anyway so why wait and go through the trouble of installing it when i can just invest now and not worry about it anymore.  So sorry, I can't really give you a comparison but if you're interested in gaming, yes RAM is going to be big deal.  Assasin's creed black flag, splinter cell black list, diablo 3, starcraft 2 are all games I play with no problem.  sometimes graphics hiccup in the beginning of a level of the graphically intense games like assassin's creed and splinter cell but then it's gone and it doesn't affect the gameplay and this is with 32 GB.  If you're thinking of purchasing this PC i recommend you make the investment and go all out to get the full experience like I did :)

Question 7

Hi I would like to know if this has the backup battery and where you can set your phone on it to charge it?

Accepted Answer

Andy

I really dont know since I havent tried.  I believe technical support should be able to answer that question. if it does have a backup battery I would like to know also because I think it will be really good to have. Sorry I don't know more about my computer.

Question 8

So what graphics card is really in this desktop? Is it a 760 like the specs say, or is it a 660 like some reviewers are saying? I would like a definitive answer before making this purchase.

Accepted Answer

The graphics card is a GTX 760 (192-bit), meaning that it is a 760 but instead of 256-bit its 192-bit.  This is a very slight downside, but the fact that it is 3gb rather than 2gb like the gtx 760 265-bit makes it worth it.  I am very happy with this PC and would highly recommend it.

Question 9

I noticed this is advertised with a gtx 760 3gb card, to my knowlege the gtx 760 is only a 2gb card. can someone confirm if this is a typo or if it is actually a 3gb card?

Accepted Answer

This is mis-leading.  It is a 3GB card, but not a 760 which would be more powerful.  It's a GTX 660 FTW with 3GB of memory.

Question 10

Does the computer come with a Wi-Fi antenna as displayed in the picture?

Accepted Answer

mine kept dropping signal so I wired it. it was about 5 feet from modem; so I say the Wi-Fi adapter that comes with it is no good.
