Question 1

can i put two this in a crossfire, i know it does not have a crossfire bridge but i hear you don't always need them

so yes or no, crossfire?

Accepted Answer

Incompatible with that concept.

Question 2

looking for 3 monitor set up. say eye infinity and see dp but would like to verify?

Accepted Answer

It has only one of each of the following outputs so consider your monitors' available inputs:  Displayport, DVI, and HDMI.  For many people having one of each is the less versatile option but the most versatile for driving only one display, or two with an HDMI to DVI or DVI to HDMI adapter, which I vaguely recall may be included.

Question 3

am planning to buy a ASUS z87 Pro mobo and i7 4770k but plan to buy a good graphics card later in 2014.

Given the above scenario, is this card any better than the onboard (or rather, on-chip) intel graphics (for the interim)?

Thank you

Accepted Answer

3-4x faster. But for the price you would be better to game on the integrated and but something better than this. Why set yourself back? The integrated will play ok with low settings and antialiasing off. Not amazingly beautiful but : function before beauty. ..sometimes..

Question 4

I'm new to Desktop upgrades, but is this "video card" the same thing as a gaming graphics card?

Accepted Answer

The terms "video card" and "graphics card" are completely interchangeable nowadays. They both refer to this kind of expansion card, which processes and renders what you see on your display. All modern graphics cards perform many other functions, including 2D acceleration and video decoding.

Graphics cards for gaming are those that also offer high performance 3D acceleration. The Radeon 6750 would be considered a low-end "gaming" card by the latest standards, and might be considered for playing 3D games at resolutions below 1080p and/or at reduced settings.
