Question 1

Hi, I just ordered my first build and I'm starting to get nervous about this video card. I just wanna ask, how reliable is this video card?

Accepted Answer

I've had two running continuously for a few months, they are stable at 700mhz core /1330mhz memory clocks @ 0.9v (underclocked). Any higher and they get too hot. These cards have terrible heatsinks, they don't even make contact with the memory or VRMs. But if u find a water block for their non reference PCB, they would be great for over clocking since they have hynix memory

Question 2

How many monitor will this card support ?  I have three monitors running of this PC but need to add some more. Is this card correct for a Dell Dimension 3000?

Currently 1 monitor is running off the motherboard and two off of a card.

Thank you

This card supports 4 monitors when using 2 DVI (or 1 DVI and 1 HDMI) + 2 Displayport outputs.  Do note that you will need active Displayport adapters in order to connect the Displayport outputs to DVI monitors.  Whether or not this video card will work in a Dell Dimension 3000 is dependant on the amount of space available in the case (this card is very long), as well as the available power supply connections.  That information will be available from Dell's site.

Question 3
