Question 1

How loud is the card?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this card is very quiet.  I made the mistake of initially buying a FE version and I just couldn't handle the heat and noise.  This is WORLDS better.  I have owned many of the "gaming X" versions of cards and this one is pretty much the same thing, just without a back plate.

Question 2

will MSI be releasing an OC version of this card or will this be it? The Armor card is the only one I'm interested in from an aesthetic point of view.

Accepted Answer

Yes, I can verify that this version is the OC version of the Armor.

Question 3

I have two pc's in my home.  One for me, and one for my wife.  How can I get two since it says limited to one?

Question 4

is this card G-sync or free-sync?

Accepted Answer

G-sync (Nvidia is gsync, AMD is freesync)

Question 5

Is there currently a limit on how many I can purchase?

Accepted Answer

there doesn't appear to be but all items on newegg can be limited to quantity available.

Question 6

can i run 3 monitors from this one card? if yes, what ports on card do i use (what is their numerical sequence)
Example, I have G1 gigabyte 970gtx.  i use 1 dvid, i hdmi, and 1 display port (numbered 1-2-3 respectively)

Accepted Answer

Pick up to any 4 of the ports to use at a time. I think which ports and what order only matters if you're using SLI.

Question 7

Will this card have a hard time fitting in a mid-sized tower?

Accepted Answer

I don't think so.  Unless you just have a lot of stuff in odd places I think it would be fine in a mid tower.

Question 8

What is the difference between this and the Gaming X? I heard something about older fans and a lower clock speeds, but nothing that really makes a difference, right?

Accepted Answer

The PCB between Armor and GamingX are exactly the same. GamingX has a better cooler solution (heatsing and fans are different). GamingX also has higher clock speeds and features a backplate. Beyond hose there is o difference.

Question 9

Hello, what is the height of this card?

Accepted Answer

~40MM. It's pretty thick.

Question 10

Can someone confirm the card length once they receive this card?, website and newegg both show 290mm; just want to verify

Accepted Answer

Mine measures 290mm, if you include the mounting bracket (280mm otherwise).
