Question 1

Will this fit into my computer? Cause last time I got a GTX 770 it would not fit at all into my desktop.

Accepted Answer

if you have a mac pro 2010. yes. This is infact a lot smaller than AMD 5870 Mac version video card which i had before.

Just make sure you install the latest Mac drivers from nvidia site before installing this card since Yosemite doesn't have GTX 970 support natively.

Question 2

My power supply has two 6-pin adapters and no 8-pin adapters. Could I put the two 6-pin adapters in as long as neither one is touching anything other than the power adapter slot?

Accepted Answer

Adapters exist to take your (2)75w 6-pin connectors and convert them into a (1)150w 8-pin connector for your card.

Question 3

Does this card have noticeable coil noise?

Accepted Answer

Mine does at around 100 fps, which most new games won't come close to.  Vsync fixes it for older games when the framerate gets out of control

Question 4

Should I get this card or the Asus DirectCU Mini GTX 970?

Accepted Answer

I don't know anything about the Asus card, but my copy of the Gigabyte card had a terrible fan clicking noise.  Gigabyte used tiny screws to attach the fan to the underlying thin strips of plastic.  Those became lose quickly, the whole fan assembly would then rattle.

I ended up replacing the screws and screwing directly into the metal cooler underneath (making sure I didn't screw into the heat pipes).

I would not buy this card again.

Question 5

Do you guys have any issues with cooling?
I am using: 
I7-4790
asus-H97i plus-mini-itx

My power supply is 400W

And recently, when I was play dota2, the PC just black out. 
I mean the system is running but the monitor is black.
I have to restart it.

So, i just wonder is there any issues with the power supply, or it is cooling problems.

Accepted Answer

your power supply is probably too small for your system. also, a mini itx case may not be getting enough air to the card for cooling. try running with the covers off of the case to see if it still blacks out. if it does I would get a bigger power supply. we have two systems running these cards but on 750 watt power supplies... run your graphics settings lower and no case covers to see if that helps until you can get a bigger power supply. we have had issues with video drivers too. make sure you have the newest driver. it's most likely the power supply though. an I7 with 16 gigs of ram needs some good power as well...

Question 6

Will it fit in corsair Air240 case?

Accepted Answer

I dont have that case, but it EASILY fits into the Fractal Design Node 304.  This is one if the smallest GPUs I have ever used.  It performs like a giant.  Its 6" long, with one 8 pin power imput.  Best gpu ever.  I have the Titan, and there is virtually no performance difference and the titan is 13" long.  Other than crummy r7 240 style gpus, you wont find anything smaller.  So if you cant fit this into your case, you wont be able to fit any graphics cards in your case because this is as small as they get.

Question 7

How loud are you finding this card to be under load?

Accepted Answer

It's audible, but not bad at all.  Very pleasant sounding fan imo.. was expecting it to be much louder than it is.

Question 8

What kind of temps are you guys getting (idle and load)?

Accepted Answer

With LianLi PC-Q33 case, idle is 34~36, 3D benchmark avg. 68~70 celsius

Question 9

6 video connectors. Can it support 6 monitors at the same time?

Accepted Answer

No. It supports 4 at a time. You get to chose which ports to use. Not every combination works. Check the manufacturers site for clarification on this.

Question 10

What is the maximum TDP?

Accepted Answer

145W according to an article on Tomshardware
