Question 1

Does it support windows 7 Professional ?

Accepted Answer

Installed the card 3 days ago on a Windows 7 Pro machine. Seems to be running flawlessly after updating to the latest drivers. So far on Battlefield 4, its perfect. Highest seetings..no problem. I can't hear it either. Makes less noise than my power supply fan...not saying much..a dump truck is not as loud as my fan. Great card for the money....hope it lasts.

Question 2

Hi, I'm not a gamer, but I am interested in driving multiple 3840 x 2160 displays for code development.  Since I won't be driving it very hard, do you think it will work with 450W power supply?  It has 2x 6pin power available.

Accepted Answer

Thanks to everyone who answered.  The reason I asked about 450W was that I want to put in my mini-itx case (newegg number N82E1 6811 163208).  Inside, I have only one spinning drive and a 95W core i5, but nothing else.  I took Saul's suggestion above and it says I use 170W.  It takes an SFX power supply.  The most powerful one I find on newegg is 600W (item N82E 1681 7338 105), but it is 5in and the space is much smaller (about 3in).  If I'm going for more power, then I'm doing a new case and everything gets bigger.  Anyway, I might try this one, and if it doesn't work, either build another machine, or use it in my other desktop.  I also checked out the ws7000 (thx Cody) which does take much less wattage, but it will not fit in the case either since it is "full" length.  If I'm building a new machine, then power and space become non-issues, but I like this case, so that's my reason for trying.   Everyone have fun.

Question 3

I have a 550 Watt PSU, that gonna be enough to run this bad boy?

Accepted Answer

It would really depend on what else you have connected to your power supply, but the short answer is yes. According to XFX the minimum requirement is 500w but they suggest 650w.

Question 4

In windows 7 what does it rate this card on their  1.0 to 7.9 Windows Experience Index?

Accepted Answer

windows experience rating = 7.9 :-)

Question 5

I'm assuming this video card supports two monitors working simultaneously. Is that right?

Accepted Answer

Yes, i have mine hookeded up two 2 monitors by dvi and hdmi, works fine for gaming and everything else.

Question 6

does it come with a cross fire bridge?

Accepted Answer

I got it last year and yes it does. Been thinking about getting another to crossfire but this card has been able to handle anything on ultra by itself with a solid state drive.

Question 7

I bought this card as a recommendation from a friend a few months back. It has worked wonderfully. I haven't tampered with it in any way, but I turn on the PC, the fans make a clicking sound and then beeps three times. I've tried resetting it, giving it a clean up, but nothing seems to work. Could it be mobo problems? This happened over the weekend where I didnt use it, but it worked fine on Friday.  I'm fairly new to pc building. Thanks for any help.

Accepted Answer

Those beeps are diagnostic codes. They tell you about an error state in the computer system.  Some codes are specific to motherboard problems, while other codes may point to problem with one of the peripheral devices.

Generally a video card issue will throw a POST (beep) code of one long beep followed by 2 or 3 short beeps. If the card is damaged,  unplugged,  or missing, you'll hear those particular beeps.

I'd suggest you reseat the card, and also unplug and replug the power cable. You could also try to find a cheap card and temporarily replace your nice card. Or if u have onboard video enabke that. And disable any overclocking you have done. Then you'll know if your mobo is having issues. Determine if the problem follows the mobo or the video card.

Question 10

can i use this with a 600w power supply with my processor being the amd vishera 6300 that takes 95w ?

Accepted Answer

If this is a new build, I would recommend this power supply. Rosewill RG630 s-12. 630w it's 80+ bronze certified and it's on sale for $59.99 right now. If you are trying to figure out if this card will run in an existing build with a 600w power supply i would say yes as long as you aren't running alot of other hardware besides the basics. the 95w on your processor is the TDP, not it's power consumption. Has more to do with heat than anything. Let me know if you have any other questions. This card is a beast, i have this exact same card and I can get over 50 frames per second in battlefield 4 with settings maxed. If i turn of msaa (anti aliasing) It jumps over 70. It's a beast.
