Question 1

I just got the card and love it, but i don't have a cd drive, so is there software i need on this disk? or some way to install what the disk had on it? cant find an alternative download anywhere

Accepted Answer

The stuff on the disk is just drivers and a manual - you can get the manual directly from PNY's site, and the drivers you can download from NVIDIA. The stuff that would be on the disk is usually outdated by the time the product ships anyway.

Enjoy the card! I installed all my drivers without a disc drive as well.

Question 2

will this work on a 650w Power supply?

Accepted Answer

I am running this card on a COOLMAX CL-700B (700W) PSU. All is well. You can check your configuration with a power supply calculator. Here is the defacto in PSU calculators:

Question 3

What size midtower can support this 14 inch video card?

Accepted Answer

Hi Anne,

The card is only 10 in. long.  I've got a mid tower and did have to remove the hard drive cage for the card to fit properly.  This required moving all my drives to the 5.25" bays.  The power connectors are also on the top of the card which makes cable management easier.  Bottom line is to make sure you have at least a 600W power supply and scope out the inside of the case to make sure the card will fit.  I'm really happy with how well this card performs.  Hope this helps.

Question 4

Does anyone know if this card has the three fans as reviewed on several websites?  Because the one they have pictured here looks like an entirely different card.  The one i saw has 3 fans.

Accepted Answer

This one has two fans, as it has the new heat sinks and heat tubes, rather than the lower grade heat sinks and heat tubes with three fans. Same card improved cooling.

Question 5

This card is supposed to come with three games, as per Nvidia. How do I get my combo games once I've purchased the card? The games went into my cart as a combo deal, but they're not on my invoice, or in the package.

Accepted Answer

There was a plastic bag that contained two cards with codes. You have to download the games from geforce.  It was in the outer box with the invoice. My invoice does show the games though. You might want to contact customer service.

Question 6

Is this compatible with a ASUS P8Z77-V LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

As long as it has an pci express 3.0 x16 slot it shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure your case is large enough to accommodate it, the card is long!

Question 7

I have a 600w 40v psu. Will it be able to run this card? It says it requires 600w 42v.

Accepted Answer

I have a Shuttle XPC  SZ87R6 that has a 500W power supply. I built this PC in December of last year and its ran excellent with no issues (almost 8 months now). I have the PNY GTX 770 graphics card (the one you are asking about) and an I7-4770K Haswell CPU (neither is overclocked). Also inside is 32 gigs of DDR3 1600 RAM (yeah 32 gigs), 250GB Samsung SSD, 2TB Western Digital HD, and an LG Blueray/DVD/CD burner. I have no issues running this setup and have run several OCCT 8 hour torture tests. PC is mostly used for gaming too. Sorry I can't find any technical data on Shuttle's power supply, but if yours is a good brand you should not have any issues.

Question 8

Can I run two of these in SLI and have headroom to overclock CPU, RAM, etc? My power supply is Corsair AX 860i Platinum.

My RIG:

SLI GTX 770's
Gigabyte UD4H Z87 MB
Intel 4770k
Corsair H105 Water Coole
16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600MHz Ram (4x4 Sticks)
4 Corsair Fans
2 SSDS

Accepted Answer

You should have no problem Chris.  My system config is very similar:
ASROCK Z87
4770K
240 water cooler
12 GB Ram (2x4, 2x2)
4 fans
2 SSD's
2 spinning HD's
2 DVD
2 PNY 770's SLI
Corsair 850 PS

Overclocked to 4.5, rock solid for 4 months now...

Question 9

Will this card support 4 27" 1080p monitors or will I have to get 2 of them?

Accepted Answer

It can support four with one card.

Question 10

What temperatures do you guys see with this card under load? And what rpm is the fan at? (rpm or percentage)

Thanks.

Accepted Answer

All 4 of mine are water cooled and the temperatures never exceed 75*C, with all 4 cards at 100% utilization.
