Question 1

does this one come with the 2 free games??

Accepted Answer

I didn't get two free games. I believe they're is another SKU with the same graphics card, but above it in green lettering it will say two free games

Question 2

does this come with a crossfire bridge?

Accepted Answer

do you have an R7 260x already or do you want to start with crossfired 2x R7 260x?
since the cards are so new, i assume you want to do the latter. in that case, it's a bad idea.
getting a single powerful gfx card would be better. for example, radeon R9 270x or R9 280x.

since the R7 260x is lower midrange and has 128bit memory bus width, crossfired R7 260x won't be able to perform well even today's demanding games, compared to crossfired R9 270x, for example.

more downsides: when you start with a crossfired setup with two lower end cards, you pretty much lock yourself out of future upgrades since you would have to swap out two cards instead of one. 
your pc has to be able to support two gfx cards, from motheboard to case to psu and cooling and so on.

Question 3

What's the minimum power requirement?

Accepted Answer

At full load, my comp is only using 100W at the wall, this card doesnt require much at all. 500w and 1000w answers are serious overkill

Question 4

ok what games come with the other 1gb card. IE do I get this card or the 1gb card?

Accepted Answer

If you intend to do some pleasurable gaming, I'd opt for the 2Gb version. Especially since this is basically a low to mid range card. The 2Gb, gives you a bit extra oomph where it counts. Even the big boy cards need and use at least 2 and even 3 to 4 Gb.

Question 5

Perhaps newegg has wrong specs on this?

Whats the difference between this and the OC?

According to MSI Tech support this OCV1 model isn't overclocked.

It is running a 1050MHz core clock and 6500MHz Memory Clock.

Accepted Answer

there is no difference in hardware, buy the cheaper version and overclock yourself. You can also run it faster than what the OC version runs
