Question 1

Does it include the full size bracket to install in an ATX full size case?

Accepted Answer

The full size ATX bracket is already installed.  I believe you would have to disconnect the VGA port to replace the bracket for smaller form factors.

Question 2

does it support windows 8.1?

Accepted Answer

I cannot say for sure since I am only using it on a Windows 7 system but it is a decent video card for business use.  I would check AMD/ATI's website to see if the HD6450 series chipset is supported, I would assume so.

Question 3

I was wondering if this video card would work with an Acer Aspire AXC-704G? I really need to upgrade my desktop's video card, so I can run games more smoothly. Thank you!

Accepted Answer

It looks like you have a dual-core 1.6GHz Celeron and 4GB 1600mHz RAM, these will also greatly effect your gaming performance. It looks like you do have a slot this card will work in but you only have a 65 watt power supply if the specs I find are correct. You will also need to upgrade your power supply if you want to attempt to use this card in that system.

Question 4

Hi I have an onboard ATI Radeon HD 4200 HDMI and Realtek ALC889A audio card. I just bought a denon receiver and am trying to play movies off my PC and project them. I hooked up the PC to the receiver via HDMI but could not get the sound to work. I was thinking that my current card does not support HDMI audio. Will this card do both 1080 and HD audio?

Thanks

Accepted Answer

The HDMI sound appears as a device in the windows control panel. Just open "sound" in the control panel and select the audio device on this card *it is easy to recognize by name)

That is all I had to do to make the HMDI sound work when I 
put this card into my pc

hope that helps

Question 5

How does this item get its power? Or is off the mother board.

Accepted Answer

I believe it does not require "extra" power connector, so is slot powered-
However, returned due to poor graphics/display performance, let alone gaming.
Really wanted a fanless card, but if so, must accept lackluster performance.
Very few high-end fanless cards out there at any price.
Sorry.

Question 6

compatible with windows 10? which driver do I use ...

Accepted Answer

I upgraded from windows 7 Professional 64 Bit to Windows 10, and it works. I do keep getting bluescreens when I try to upgrade to the latest drivers using the ATI auto notification software, but it seems fine otherwise.

Question 7

I have an old computer with an ms 7501 motherboard and amd phenom I I x4 920 processor. Will this card work with what I have? I don't need it for gaming.

Accepted Answer

It worked fine with a GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard which is similar to yours, but has a slightly newer chipset.

Your motherboard specs list a PCI Express 16 slot, so it would probably work.  Note the graphics card specs also say it requires at least a 400 watt power supply.   The one I am using is listed at 500 watts.

Question 8

Will this card run on Windows 10 O.S.?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will use the Catalyst 15.7.1 & Graphics Driver for Windows 10.

Question 9

Also, will be compatible with the HP 15-d017cl? Can the card be used for medium to high demanding gaming?

Accepted Answer

Hello Jaidon,

To answer the first part of your questions. Looking up the model number you provided. That is a laptop and would not be compatible with this card since this card is for a desktop.

Laptops usually are not upgradable when it comes to graphics, which includes the higher end gaming ones that do use the MXM standard for mobile graphic cards. Due to custom cooling and build of the laptops, replacing the MXM module is usually impossible unless the manufacture provides an upgraded unit.

To answer the second part. this card will not support medium to high level of gaming. If you are looking at high end gaming for modern titles like GTA V or Witcher 3. You are looking in the lines of a Radeon 290x or Nvidia 970 at the minimum and I mean bare minimum. To use these types are cards it will require a desktop PC or if you would like to stay in a laptop form factor, you will need to look into getting a gaming laptop. Here are a few companies that make gaming laptops. ASUS, MSI, Alienware, cyberpower, Razer.

Question 10

it says fanless is it fanless ? cuz office depot has same model number but it says it has a fan

Accepted Answer

The card does not have a fan - just a hulking heatsink. The details on the Office Depot website says the Cooler Type is "Fan Cooler" - but you would be using a case or external cooler.
