Question 1

Does this card use 1 or 2 of the six pin GPU connectors ?

Accepted Answer

Uses one eight pin connector.  However I believe a six to eight pin adapter is included, so you will only need one six pin power lead.

Question 2

will it fit in my p7-1254?

Accepted Answer

The card is almost 11 inches long (10.74"). I have a uATX board (Gigabyte) similar to the one in the p7-1254 and it fits fine, but my case is a regular ATX case so I have room to spare. Sounds silly, but measure from the back of your case where the card's HDMI and DVI connectors will rest (where they'll be connected to the monitor) to the inside of your case the requisite 11 inches. Also, the next slot below the PCI-E slot will get covered up by the thickness of the card. Hope this helps.

Question 3

will this work with the ASUS SABERTOOTH Z170 MARK 1 LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard and the Intel Core i5-6600 6M Skylake Quad-Core 3.3 GHz LGA 1151 65W BX80662I56600 Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530?

Accepted Answer

The card has worked great for two weeks in my 4 year old uATX MOBO (mini-ATX). I can't answer with any certainty regarding your particular board but it seems much better than mine. So I'd be shocked if it didn't run on your board.

Question 4

How many monitors can run at once with this card?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us in regards to your question.

The best way to confirm specs is actually by checking the manufacturer's website (that's where we get them). Click on the Specifications tab on the item page, and look in the Quick Info box on the bottom of the page. You'll find a link to the item on the manufacturer's own site with the most up-to-date details.

Thank you,

Question 5

will a 350 WATT power supply work?

Accepted Answer

Without knowing the rest of your system it would be hard to tell you, however you will probably need a higher wattage PSU.

Question 6

I just got a Dell XPS 8000 with an i7-6700, 32GB RAM, 1TB HDD, and a BluRay drive, and came with an OEM GeForce GTX745 which is 4GB DDR3 and is not all that great. Will the stock 460W power supply be enough to run this GTX 960 card or should I get the 2GB version?

Accepted Answer

You'll have plenty of power. The 2gb version and this one have the exact same power requirements. You can probably run a 970 if you wanted to, as long as its a quality supply.

Question 7

Newbie here, I have an HP ENVY Phoenix h9-1440t Computer with a 2GB Nvidia GTX680 and I was hoping to upgrade the graphics card. What specifications do I need to look out for to know if the card is compatible with my computer and software? Thanks for the help!

Accepted Answer

you should be good on power, but just make sure the card will physically fit in your case, width USUALLY isn't a big problem, but make sure there's enough space in the case for a presumably longer card. (you'll have to look online for the dimensions as i don't see them listed here.)

Question 8

Does anyone know the dimensions of this card?

Accepted Answer

Card Dimension(mm)
273 x 130 x 37

Question 9

I currently have a motherboard (ASUS P7P55D EVO LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard)  that supports PCI Express 2.0x16 graphics card.  Can I put in a PCI Express 3.0 in a 2.0 slot?  someone told me they are backwards compatible, but I was thinking if the motherboard supports 3.0 you could put in a 2.0 graphics card.

Accepted Answer

they will work together. you can out a 3.0 in a 2.0 or 1.0 slot they can all handle each other they will just run at the slower speed. don't worry though you won't lose any performance between a 3.0 and a 2.0 slot in terms of gaming.

Question 10

Is this basically the same, just better, than the identical 2GB model?  I ask because that model has 5-Star rating and very well respected, as well as the similar GAMING sub-models (rather than these sub-models, the OC or OverClocking models) ... I am not planning on overclocking this much if at all (certainly not in the near term) but it's a much better deal ... This model has no ratings at all though.  Is it fair to assume this is an equally high-quality and very-well -respected product like the exact same, albeit 2G, model?  THanks much!

Accepted Answer

To answer your question, YES, this is a nice quality graphics card, runs everything I own at high and ultra settings at 40-60+fps.

Also, it is hackintosh compatible as well, with the nvidia web drivers for 10.10.0+
