Question 1

How big of power supply is recommended?

Accepted Answer

I use a 750W Corsair supply; When I built my PC I was having trouble getting it to boot when using a 500W supply. I would recommend at least 600W, and make sure it is a good brand, because some of the "off brands" boast a certain wattage, and don't actually put out that power. Again Id recommend Corsair, but there are others.

Question 2

Does this require 2 6 pin power connectors? I seems only the 270X cards do but this is a 270.

Accepted Answer

Yes this does require 2 6 pin connectors but this card runs great I run 2 monitors 1080p max video settings this card is amazing and it had great combos with psu that work with it that's what I did.

Question 3

Is it possible to run 3 monitors without using the DisplayPort?

Accepted Answer

I tried to get 3 set up and with the. 2 DVI's and hdmi it didn't work so I'm not fully sure how to use 3 displays but I know the card can support 3

Question 4

How will this card compare to an XFX AMD radeon HD 5700 1gb gddr5 700mhz core clock, 1150mhz memory clock? Will i see noticeable difference with this card is what I'm getting at.

Accepted Answer

Yes definitely, and actually my buddy has the card you have and he's buying my sapphire. We're doing some system rebuilds and overclocks this weekend. So I could get some comparisons together if you would like but if you need to know just off the bat. This sapphire is gonna blow your 5700 series out of the water, your gonna notice a huge difference and if you do get the sapphire I would recommend downloading amds overdrive software with it as it greatly improves your gaming experince by auto configuring your game setting for every game you have on your system.
