Question 1

I read this card supports FreeSync 2. Is it backward compatible to the original FreeSync?

Accepted Answer

I’m short, yes. FreeSync 2 is really just a more stringent implementation of FreeSync standards. My current monitor is FreeSync and it works fine with the card.

Question 2

Does this card produce noticeable coil whine?

Accepted Answer

No coil whine on my sample.

Question 3

why is this 200$ over when it was released?

Accepted Answer

Have you heard of cryptocurrency mining? Miners buying every 56/64 they can get their hands on.

Question 4

How does it handle 4K gaming?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I’m using a 4K 60hz Monitor. All smooth on medium/medium high settings but it also depends on which games you are playing.

Question 5

The past few years I've notice the AMD 512mb bandwidth reduced to as low as 128mb (on mid-size cards)  but on Vegas and Fury models, the bandwidth is huge. Any reason for super sizing the burger?

Accepted Answer

Everyone knows a two-patty burger outshines a one patty burger any day. So when you're hungry for more, you supersize it!

Question 6

what is the minimum battery wattage to crossfire two of these?

Accepted Answer

These don't run off of batteries, but if you're talking about power supplies then Google search "Cooler Master Power Supply Calculator" to calculate what kind of power supply you're going to need.

Also fyi after you install the drivers, you'll have options in the WattMan section of the graphics card settings that let you control how many watts each card is allowed to consume.
