Question 1

does this need a 6pin or 8pin?

Accepted Answer

Neither--it requires no external power. All power comes from PCI slot.

Question 2

can I utilize all  ports to run a 3-monitor setup?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can, I have 3 monitors running on mine. Running 3 @ 1080 in surround would be too much, but turn down the resolution in gaming and it will work.

Question 3

I have an I3 with an asus motherboard from 2011 it has a PCI Express slot, will this card work with my system?

Accepted Answer

It should. I have old system with Q6600 CPU and DDR2 memory and just plugged in. No complaints about not having new UEFI BIOS. No issues in win8.1/win10.

This card also does not require any power cables from power supply. I am happy with how quiet mine is. Forced me to replace stock CPU fan since it became loudest part.

It also is not longer than full size PCI Express slot and no parts sticking higher either. Should fit fine as long as you have minimal free 2 slots free(card is 2 slots wide, not on motherboard, but rather back of case...)

Question 4

Is a 3.0 PCI Express component usable with a 2.0 slot?

Accepted Answer

As others have confirmed, having only a PCI Express 2.0 slot should not be a problem, and from a PCI Express specification perspective, the PCI Express 3.0 card should work fine in a PCI Express 2.0 slot.

The issue I did encounter trying to put this card into my older HP xw6400 workstation was apparently the UEFI BIOS requirement, and the machine would not boot with this card installed.  Since this model does not offer any legacy boot compatibility switch, ultimately the card could not be used, and I had to go with a different model which did have legacy BIOS compatibility.

Question 5

Will this fit in the same footprint as my OEM NVIDIA 745 in my
HP ENVY 700?

Accepted Answer

The GTX 750 Ti is both longer and wider than your GTX 745 card. The length shouldn't matter much but your current card is single width whereas this card is a double slot one. So long as there is nothing occupying a slot directly below your current card in the case, this card should fit just fine. It is rather small.

Question 6

I've got a dell monitor that supports 2560 resolution. My 650GTX card says it should, but gets no signal from its dual-link DVI port. Am only looking to buy this card if it supports 2560.

Anyone have experience with that?

Thanks.

Accepted Answer

The maximum supported resolution for the 750 ti is 4096x2160 over DVI and 2048x1536 over vga. In short yes you should but you will have to plug it in to the right port. I would reccomend hdmi if your monitor supports it.

Question 7

This product with work with 300w PSU?? This sight says 300w or greater, another says 400w.

Accepted Answer

I am pretty sure it works with a 300w. the power draw is minimal, as it does not have a pcie power connector.

Question 8

Does this refurbished model include a DVI to VGA adapter?

Accepted Answer

No -- just the card, no drivers, no adapters.
