Question 1

I ran this crossfired on sp1 windows 7 until I got free windows 10 free upgrade I buy sp1 for cheap although they suck over other packs of win7 I suggest to upgrade free to win10 I got a aoc 4k moniter and am running 3 of these all together atm I love this cards for the prices I paid here on newegg its lows energy good graphics for world of Warcraft I overkill my pcs I build always but I can streams twitch etc no problems at all I recomm to get 2 at least to cross fire I bought 3 for back up in future if one fails I always got reserves any more questions let me know:D.

Question 2

Bought this the other day for my desktop.. hooked it up an my moniter has no signal fans dont come on it just llights up?? any answers?

Accepted Answer

Make sure everything is properly plugged in, the PCI slot, the power, and the video cable......
also make sure that everything else on the computer works......
also also make sure that your power supply has enough wattage.....

P.S.- if it's running cool enough then the fans automatically turn off, they only run when it's hot enough, you can adjust those settings though.

all I really gave is general advice, you know, basic things you should check before asking for help (assuming you know the general advice, if not, then this post should've been helpful)

Question 3

Will this work with a A10-5800k cpu and a 440w psu?

Accepted Answer

CPU shouldn't be an issue, however the GPU recommends a 500w PSU or higher. I suggest a 550 or 600w PSU, It'll give you some headroom for further upgrades or additional hardware down the road. I also suggest making sure you have some great airflow in your case, the R7 370 gets pretty hot under load and those Twin Frozrs just blow that hot air all over your other components.

Question 4

Is this compatible with Gigabyte Ga-F2A88XM-D3H and AMD A10-7870 Godavari?

Accepted Answer

With the mobo, yes.

To run as a discrete card, yes.

To run in dual graphics (crossfire w/ 7870), then no.

The card is a plug and play card, none of the overclock ui that would come with overclocked cards. Just install to mobo and install the drivers.

The card is great for its price range. I play Heroes of the storm, cs go, tera, wow. the games run great at max setting.

Question 5

Will this card run in an older pc? Not UEFI bios.

Accepted Answer

I have a Gigabyte 790XTA-UD4 motherboard with 8gB Ram andAMD Phenom II x4 945 processor. Almost 5 TB hard drive space which includes a 240 gb SSD. Also an AMD 5770 video card. It runs well but I can't play Doom (2016). Thanks for your help.

Question 6

will this work in my acer aspire x desktop pc ?  amd quad-core e2-6110 accelerated processor with amd radeon r2 graphics(1.5ghz) 4gb ddr3/ 500gb hdd/dvd rw/ hdmi/ windows 8.1 64-bit/

Accepted Answer

Not sure what you are asking.
If you are asking if you can pull out your Radeon R2
and replace it with this, yes you can.
I was able to go from WoT at standard Def at ~30fps
to HD at ~75 fps, big jump.
But as far as I know you can't do Crossfire.
To the best of my knowledge you can only do Crossfire with
identical cards.  I would check with ATI and the web on that.

Question 7

How much power does this card take to run well? (what power supply is best)

Accepted Answer

I don't remember the requirement off the top of my head but I would recommend 650watt or better depending on hardware you're running. I have a 1000watt I been using for at least 5 or 6yrs. I upgraded my system with the same PSU maybe 3 times now. 3 different gpu's, 2 different cpu and motherboard.

Question 8

would I be able to run Dragon age Inqusition on this. I currently run a radeon 6700 series and most newer games It runs fine on max on encountered issues with games that have a lot of on screen characters at once. I.E total war rome 2?

Accepted Answer

To be honest Ive heard its alot like r9 270 2g. Like a remake of the card. I run skyrim with mine and vanilla no mods ultra res i'm getting 32 2 43 frames average and i get a lot of lag spikes im almost sure its not my cpu as i have fx 6300. My opinion get a gtx 750 2g and keep your amd mobo if thats what you got. I know that dragon age was made after skyrim so your results will be similar to mine. Ive had two amd cards and have not been happy with either one.

Question 9

but can it run crysis? 1,2,3

Accepted Answer

I have a heavily moded skyrim (150) or so with about 5 2k texture mods and i get about 32 fps in the overworld. Vanilla skyrim i get 48 frames in overworld on ultra, in whiterun though i get about 25 moded and unmoded on ultra. Frankly speaking a gtx 980 ti runs anything great so just compare specs of the two cards and that'll tell you for sure. (I dont play crisis... so dont know for sure.)

Question 10

Will this video card be compatible with the ASUS Z97-A LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Most motherboards are equipped with PCI-express slot, so this card will work. But the better question is what kind of case do you have? Since this is a 10" card, you'll want to make sure that it will physically fit first.
