Question 1

power supply requirements?  Is there a PS connector required? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

According to evga recommendations:

300 Watt power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 16 Amps.  The total power draw is 29 Watts.  I was looking for a low power video card for a server I built.

Question 2

Hello!

I have a question regarding the size and compatibility of this GPU:
I have an older computer with laptop sized parts, could you provide the exact dimensions of the card? Thank you

Accepted Answer

Dimensions are  5.7 x 1 x 4.4 inches . You need a PCI Express 2.0 compatible motherboard also. Good luck

Question 3

I have an ASUS A8N-SLI delux motherboard.  Will this be compatible with this board?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your motherboard has PCI 16 slots and SLI support much like my motherboard. This is a good cheap video card and had it for 6 months with no problems.

Question 4

My older system has a PCI Express x16 slot.  Will that be compatible with this card which is PCIe 2.0 x16?  In other words, is PCIe 1.0 compatible with PCIe 2.0?  Newegg does not seem to offer video cards that specify PCIe 1.0.  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Works better with Win 7, plus the video card automatically senses the 1.0 PCIe in your older computer.  You can always go to the nVidia website and look at the specs.

Question 5

What's it minimum power supply requirements?

Accepted Answer

The minimum listed requirements is 300 watts.

This card pulls its power over the PCI lanes, not a separate plug, so I would not suggest putting multiples of these cards into a machine.

Question 6

Does it have two DVI-dual links or one dual and a single link ? I want to run two 2440x1600 monitors simultaneously.

Thanks

Accepted Answer

Don't really know as I purchased for a customer.
The box states one dual-link DVI and one single-link DVI.

Question 7

Can I run 3 monitors, 2 of them via DVI/VGA adapters and the 3rd from the HDMI output of the card?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry to be imprecise here, but I doubt that you can simultaneous run 3 monitors.  Typically the multiple connectors are for convenience and do not correspond to how many heads the card has.  This probably a dual-head card.

Documentation at EVGA does not address this, as far as I can discover, so a call to them might be in order.  If they say it can run three monitors, I would probably call back the next day and ask the same question of a different tech.

Question 8

Hello I would like to know if farming simulator 2013 and 2011 half life 2 and team fortress 2? just let me know what ones worked out of them please and thank you

Accepted Answer

this card is a revamped GT 610 with the new 2gb of DDR3 ram with the new updated amount of cuda cored compared easiest to a GTX 460. same architecture and everything. I sold this card to a friend of mine and never tested it on my own sorry. my personal rig uses an MSI GTX 760 to run everything.. overall i would say this card is best used for just multiscreening, the number of cores is low and the 2gb of ram doesnt really help out in rendering speeds for games much.

Question 9

If I purchase 2 of these will I be able to plug 4 monitors into them and have a 2x2 monitor set up?

Accepted Answer

Yes, though these cards will work independently of each other and will be less efficient than getting two video cards supporting SLI to link them together so both video cards display on the 4 monitors as a single unit.

Do a Google search for "linking multiple video cards" and click on the pc world article at the top of the search for more info.
