Question 1

A couple questions. My motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H. Is this card compatible with it? Also, I cannot find the power requirements. I have a 850W power supply in my machine. Thank you!

Accepted Answer

The card will work in your motherboard, but may operate a little slower than the rated specs for it due to the motherboard being PCI Express 2.0 and this card being PCI Express 3.0.  This video card will fall back to PCI Express 2.0 mode for sure, and it will be future proof for the next time you upgrade your motherboard (already ready for the 3.0 the next board will likely have).  You likely will not notice the fallback in actual gaming unless you really push the limits of the card, as the card is awesome and you'd have to use really high settings to notice on most games.

Question 2

does the r9 285 or the r9 380 have hdmi v2? or are they all hdmi ver. 1.4a?

Accepted Answer

1.4a. Even AMD's new Fury cards are only 1.4. I use display port for higher resolutions and refresh rates.

Question 3

Does this card support DirectX 12?

Accepted Answer

I imagine it will. AMD has already said that all GCN cards will support DX12. But Tonga series cards are the newest generation of GCN.

Question 4

Is the Never Settle Forever bundle still included with the card?

Accepted Answer

I did not receive any free games with this card. I think that bundle expired quite some time ago.
