Question 1

Does this require any external power connectors?

Accepted Answer

This card does not require external power. It is power from the riser card. I have 2 different cards. The hynix memory one is stable at 13.6 Mhs. The Samsung at 14 Mhs. You can dual mine with them but you have to pull the clock speeds back a bit or they get the 511 error.

Question 2

IS this a low profile card?

Accepted Answer

no.  I'm not sure that any cards with 3 stacked video out ports can be low profile, since there wouldn't be room for them in a short card.  However, the card is much shorter than full length.

Question 3

is this a fairly quiet card?

Accepted Answer

Mine are all really quiet - yes.  I don't know if this would hold true now, but the ones I purchased about 6 months ago are running very quietly.

Question 4

Where under device manager is this to update drivers?

right click on the amd graphics card under device manager and select check for updates, after a new window pops up use the check online for updates

Question 5

Question 7

I have a AMD A-8 7600K processor and i bought this graphics card. i haven't had it installed yet. Is this the best budget graphics card for the AMD A-8 series 7600K processor?

Accepted Answer

I can not answer about the processor, at the moment this card and the 1050 are the only new cards selling for what they are worth, everything else is silly overpriced. I plan on upgrading when  can afford it. I would assume it is the best budget card right now.

Question 8

How many stream processors does this specific model have?  There are 2 different flavors of the RX 560 and the specs here aren't clear.

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are different versions, I read you should look for one with the six pin connector if you can use it, the one I bought don't have one, I figured the 560 will do til prices drop,

Question 9

does this card support AMD Freesync?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all AMD video cards do.
