Question 1

I just got a new pre built desktop PC and I want to upgrade the video card my question is will this video card fit and work well with my computer  I have an ASUS M51AC - B07 if that helps?

Accepted Answer

Okay ,first of all; you have a great prebuilt pc. it will be future proofed for a good while for normal use, and can take a good slection of components, including a 780 ti. I assume you have the intel 4000 graphics currently? if not theres a card already in there. they cant run at the same time so the good news is if theres a graphics card just put it in that slot. if theres none find your main  pcie slot, should be a pcie x16(google will show you what to look for.)

HOWEVER there is one thing that could block you if you have the 300 something watt one, because your going to need at least 450 watts. luckily those are cheaper  than most other components. if you do buy one I heavily reccomend at least a 550w, and if you are overclocking a 650w or 750w will be a good number as itll give you headroom. good luck.

ps get the card, its amazing

Question 2

I am new to computer making so I have to ask. Does this graphics card work  with a AMD motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the motherboard (AMD or Intel) as long as it has an open PCI-E 2.0 (or 3.0) x16 slot open.  The card was designed for the 3.0 standard but will run on the 2.0 slot with minimal performance hit as long it is a x16 slot.  Hope this helps and good luck.  This card is a beast of a card.  I've had mine for about 2 weeks now and it just rips through anything I through at it.  I do a lot of video editing and this card allows me to do real-time effects in Premiere Pro CS6.

Question 3

I'm currently using a 850w PSU. Will this be enough to run 2 780ti's in SLI?

Accepted Answer

After some testing,

Power Consumption GeForce GTX 780 Ti

System in IDLE = 120W
System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 372W

Power Consumption GeForce GTX 780 Ti 2-way SLI

System in IDLE = 129W
System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 617W

Found the information from a hardware review site.

Question 4

Hello again all I need help with 1 more problem im not very techy anymore so im at a loss and cant find the rite power supply (please send links) to power this card I have a ASUS M51AC - B07 I already know this card WILL fit in my tower I just don't know what power supply and how to go about getting one searching for one with little knowledge has me at a loss money is not an issue please HELP thanks to all who answered before !?

Accepted Answer

This card uses very little power. I use a 750w but I could easily get away with using a 650w. I have a pretty beast system, but very power efficient. I would recommend a Corsair RM750 (since it's very quiet and I like that). Depending on the rest of your system RM750 should be just fine. I would recommend nothing less than a Gold Certified power supply (so gold or platinum). Hope this helps!

Question 5

My Computer is an old alien ware Area 51 X58 With P6T Deluxe motherboard. I am Currently running 2X GeForce GTX 295 's. Can my system handle two of these?

Accepted Answer

It really would depend on what kind of power supply is in your X58. If you have anything around 750 watts, you should be just fine.

Question 6

Bought this card two years ago and it's still an amazing performer; my question is: "I want to SLI, but finding this exact card is impossible. Will a similar card from another manufacturer work?"

Accepted Answer

As far as I understand it will be just fine, Nvidia only confines it to needing to be the same model(so another 780 ti) The manufacturer wont affect it. 
A 780(the non Ti version) will NOT work though, I believe.

On a separate note I don't know if the performance gained would be worth the investment in this case, it may be better to sell the card and use the money you were going to use for sli with it to just get one of the newer cards...

Hope this helps

Question 7

is this the jon holmes edition?

Accepted Answer

Yeah it's pretty much the king dingaling if that's what you're asking...it's so powerful that it's a joke

Question 8

Will this card work with adobe premiere?

Accepted Answer

Hi,

Not being a user of the software, I decided to search the Adobe Hardware Forum where the 780Ti is mentioned. Apparently it does work well with Premiere Pro, so I don't see where it wouldn't work with Premiere.

I installed the card in my son's rig, who, aside from gaming, uses the processing power for AutoCad and there have been no complaints with performance. Hope the information helps.

Question 9

I'm using three DVI-D monitors in my setup (old Acer P223w).
If using one card, I should need a DP to DVI-D converter as well as an HDMI to DVI-D converter, right?
Do the two DVI ports share the same bus?
What about if there were two or three of these cards in SLI? Would only one card output to a monitor, so it'd still be the same converters needed? or am I wrong on something?

Accepted Answer

I believe the converters are all you need, I also believe the two dvi ports are independent, so you should be good. Yes I believe in sli you choose one card  for the output.

Question 10

Minimum PSU? Currently running on a 660w with no future plans to go SLI.

Accepted Answer

What size power supply? I understand from a review in MAXIMUM PC that the card draws TDP 250 watts. If you can figure out your other wattages imposed on your PSU then your 780Ti might work. My ASUS shipping box says that the minimum is 600w PSU. So, it all depends on how much power your computer will draw with the 780Ti installed. I would recommend that you have ALL 6 pin power connectors on your motherboard connected to your PSU.

Thanks for the question, Tony F.
