Question 1

Will this card output 2560 x 1080? for an LG 29WK600-W

Accepted Answer

I do not know. The monitor which I have connected is an AOC2742H whose native resolution is 1920x1080. However the max resolution spec for the card is 2560x1600 which would indicate that it may. Your monitor is an extra wide which generally is used for gaming, but I would not think this card would support gaming at speed. This is a budge card. If you are using the monitor for a wide display, then it should be ok.

Question 2

whats the power requirements on this vid card?

Accepted Answer

You can run with as low as a 300w power supply but better to run with 500w or better if you can.

I've got one stuffed into my dad's peanut eMachine case.  He plays Diablo III on it even though the game says it's not a supported card.  Does ok, he's been playing the game since it came out on it.

Question 3

I have an HP Pavilion Elite M9040N computer, windows 7 Professional, 6 gigs ram.  I currently have a BFG GeForce 9600 GT OC 512MB PCIe Video Card.  Will this card work in my system?

Accepted Answer

It should.  I installed it in a Windows 7 computer.  It was a low profile case that required using the side adapter.  It worked fine and is now supporting a dual monitor configuration.

Question 4

Is this card compatible with  Dell Inspiron 570 with 64 bit Windows 7 pro?

Accepted Answer

If the Dell has the PCI Express 2.0 slot, then yes I would think it is. I have used this video card with a desktop running Win 7 as well as Win 10. I first used this card in a desktop (custom build) whose on board graphics was not compatible a new monitor. I have used it in several other desktops (also custom builds) whose on board graphics failed.

Question 5

Does this come with a standard bracket or just low profile?

Accepted Answer

It comes with both. which is a nice selling point. It also works great for dual monitors.

Question 6

I have a 210-watt power supply and an Athlon 2 (2 core) CPU. I know this is pretty a low wattage so will I not be able to use the card?

Accepted Answer

This is a pretty basic card and should not draw too much power. Since you have a basic CPU that does not draw that much power it should be ok. You will know fairly quickly if you attempt a power on and it tries to start and then dies.

If you need a separate video card it would be hard to find one that takes less power yet still does a good job. If the PC won't start, simply replace the power supply with an inexpensive 350 watt PSU. One of the nice things about desktops is we can replace components.

Question 7

is this compatible with windows 10?

Accepted Answer

Most likely, I don't see why it wouldn't since Windows 10 is being installed on computers from 2009 and newer. I would not worry about that, go to there website (MSI GeForce) to verify.

Question 8

xp drivers?

Accepted Answer

Nvidia hides it pretty well, but there are XP drivers for this card. Go to geforce (dot) com and click on drivers. Under the manual search, choose the following drop down choices: Geforce, Geforce 200 series, Geforce G210,  Windows XP, English, All.

You will see a list of current and beta drivers. The latest one was released in the last month; I don't recommend the beta unless you like to fiddle with drivers a lot.

Question 9

Will this card fit a H-P Pavillion slimline  PC tower? It requires a low profile Vga card.

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use this card with your H-P Pavillion slimline PC tower. You will need to change the bracket to a low profile bracket which comes included in the box. Check the 4th picture and you will see the card comes with two low profile brackets.

Question 10

Would I be able to put this into a laptop (Acer Aspire) that runs only 2.1 GHz that currently runs a Intel HD?

Accepted Answer

All laptops have the graphics integrated into the board. You cannot upgrade any graphics card on any laptop. Short of a lot of solder beads and an exact match to the board.
