Question 1

How many slots does this card haave?

Accepted Answer

If you are referring to the expansion slots at the rear of a normal pc case then it takes up two of those spots.

If you are asking how many full size PCIE slots on your motherboard are populated by this card it is only one.

If you are asking about the connections that the card has they are as follows (going from left to right) Display port, HDMI full size not mini, DVI-I Dual link [white one], DVI-D Dual Link [black one].

Question 2

Will a 650w psu handle this card?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can, but if you put more then one in your system then I would consider getting a more powerful PSu.

Question 3

My question is about connecting two DVI monitors to this card. It says: 2 x DVI (1 Single Link, 1 Dual Link). Does this "dual link" create a problem if I connect two DVI monitor connections to it? One is a 1080x1920 monitor and the other is a 800x1280 cintiq tablet. Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Yes you can connect 2 dvi monitors to this card no problem the difference between single link and dual link is the type of cable used and the resolution it supports single link is an 18 pin connection where dual link is a 24. The 24 supports higher resolutions. Where both of your monitors are 1920x1080 and below single link is fine. Also as a side note you cannot use a dual link cable in a single link slot but you can use single link in a dual link slot. So you should be fine no matter what dvi connections your monitors have. I just bought this card and love it best luck to you.

Question 4

Sorry beforehand if this is a dumb question, however, I am a bit new to the whole GPU ballgame.

Is this card better or worse than a Ghz edition? I understand that this can be OC'd to 1000Mhz above it's core clock of 950 Mhz (thereby rendering it a Ghz edition substantively).

However, my concern is more-so the stability of the card and the long run durability of OC'ing rather than just buying a Ghz edition.

Let me know.

Thanks!

Accepted Answer

The GHz edition is nothing more than a factory overclock. You will have no stability issues if you clock this card at GHz edition frequencies using software such as MSI AfterBurners or Sapphire Trixx

Question 5

How long is this card?

Accepted Answer

Hey, the card is 11.02 inches and bearly fits inside my mid tower case. I have a cooler master mid tower case (I forgot the model) Look up your case and make sure the graphics card clearance is big enough. Hoped I helped

Question 6

Will any EK waterblocks fit this card?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but i wouldnt recommend using any with this card. The default
bios of the card will lock the power usage and core clock speed at 
about 1100 core clock speed and 1600 memory speed. AJjust get a 
280x, its better for the price right now (slightly better performance
same price).

Question 7

Hi,
I was wondering when this item will be in stock again?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, I don't know when it will be in stock again. However, it 's a good card. I bought two in September and have had no problems. I run all my games, Crisis 3, Call of Duty, Battlefield 4, etc. with the video settings maxed out.

Question 8

Will PSU 500w well work with this GPU and i7-4770k?

Accepted Answer

I really do not think the 500W is OK for this item. The main concern is this GC needs two 8-pin PCI-E, and I think only the very expensive 500W PSUs have the two 8-pin PCI-E and the price of these 500W might be higher than the regular 750W.

Question 9

will it fit in this case,RAIDMAX Cobra ATX-502WWW? 
thanks

Accepted Answer

Yes.  It does cover 2 slots so need to be aware of that.  This case is very similar to mine.  Be sure you have a compatible system board.

Question 10

What brand is the Hdmi cable that comes with it?

Accepted Answer

I don't see any brand markings/logos on mine. It's just a generic, black HDMI cable.
