Question 1

I have a system with the following specs and wish to know if i will have any issues with putting this graphics card in it: I have a intel i5 6400k skylake running boosted at 3.3ghz, 8 gb of gddr3 ram, a 1 terabyte hdd, and an Asus disk drive all running off a 500 watt psu. Let me know if there will be a problem with putting this graphics card right into my system?

Accepted Answer

Dude, just get a GTX 1070.  If you are gaming on a screen bigger than 1080p, you should get  the GTX 1080.  If you are on a budget for a GPU, get  the RX 480. (the space heater)

I have 2 RX 480s and a new build with the GTX 1070.   And the 1070 is just the bees knees, you know?

We have 5 computers at home, 2 of them have the RX 480s and the new build is mine, the one with the GTX 1070.  The GTX 1070 is just amazing hands down.  Just don't get  this card you're asking a question about.  I'm serious, you have a new build and you want a wonky GPU?  If you don't have the money for a 1070, just save up for it.  It took me 6 months of saving and waiting for the 1070.   Now that i have it, I don't regret waiting to get it.

Question 2

Will this product fit the  Alienware X51 R2 without making any modifications?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, I don't know about that case, however, I had to do major cutting on mine. I suggest that you take the dimensions of the board and critically measure you're case. This board is quite long. Good luck!

Question 3

Will this Video card have significant improvement of Photoshop operation?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does but not a huge difference. Its mostly meant for gaming and rendering.

Question 4

will this fit in http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353063

Accepted Answer

As far as I can see I think it will, but it would be better to find the inside width and go from there, I would also make sure that whatever motherboard you are looking at fits to.

hope that helped

Question 5

Does this card handle 4k (3840x2160) at 60 Hz?  I am told by an AMH monitor sales person that it is unstable at 60 Hz and should be used at 30 Hz instead.  I intend to use for programming spreadsheets only, not gaming... would this be acceptable?  From what I have heard 30 Hz is not a pleasant viewing experience.

Accepted Answer

I can't really answer that question very well since I purchased it for gaming. I'm sorry. I do know it supports 4k. But I'd say your probably right. It works great for my gaming needs. I only do 1080p though. But it sounds about right. This is a sweet spot card for 1080. I would go with the gigabyte gtx 970 if you need 4k at 60hz stable. I do love this card though. Gigabyte really put some effort into this line.

Question 6

Will this card fit into an Asrock M8 case or is it too long?

Accepted Answer

This card is 11.6 inches long. The ASrock m8 says it can only fit cards up to 11.5 inches.

However, even if you did manage to squeeze it in there, this card generates a lot more heat than that case can dissipate, So I would not recommend it.

Question 7

Can this video card fit on GA-78LMT-S2P motherboard ?

Accepted Answer

Assuming that you hav the extended PCI slot for the board, yes, it probably will fit your MB. (Check your PS to see if you have the recommended power and plugs for the card) HOWEVER, the real question is, will the graphics card fit in your case... This card is quite long. I had to perform major surgery on my case (cut open a slot into the HD enclosure) to get the card to fit. It was a lot of trouble, but I didn't want to buy a new case just for the video card.

Question 8

Don't see any CUDA info on this card, can you tell how many cuda cores?

Thanks

Accepted Answer

i start normally by using google but ill do all the leg work for ya.
But i know that can be hard. if that fails i normally go to the specifications page on there website. IE NVIDIA website please don't ask easy to answer questions on these help questions proper questions are like will it fit in my case or does it over heat under overclock but please for the love of god not factory info that can be googled. and your answer is 1024

Question 9

will this card fit in my Raidmax Cobra Z case? and will i get 60+ frames (or even 30) when recording games such as Warframe, GTA V, and Space Engineers?

Accepted Answer

Hi, sorry it took so long. I looked at your case and I don't see a problem. It is good to measure it first. The specs are listed as far as the length of the card. I run two of these 960s in SLI. I amd more than pleased with what they do for my graphics. The games that I play run around 120 to 130 fps. I can't answer what you will get with the games that you play. The card works great for me.

Hope this helps

Question 10

Will this card fit a GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P mother board?

Accepted Answer

Yes it shoud fit just fine. I run pretty deep legth wise but you will be happy to know the power coctors are on the side not the back so it works out. My personal advice. is if you I know is hard to pass up the price on this board but if you have the opotunity to get a 970 instead go for it. I know is probably $100 more of so - maybe you can get a good deal during this hioliday season. The reason for the 970 is 256bit not 128bit. 960 series is the last 128bit they made. 256bit is in the 970's and 980's. Read up on it. It will make a difference in the future and you will save big time in the future. I boutght the 960 I wish I had waited till I had another $100 to buy the 970. Good luck friend.
