Question 1

How much power would tjis card need to run it? I have the space for a card this big but only a 630w power supply.

Accepted Answer

630 watts is plenty to run pretty much any single card rig. More is primarily for SLI and Crossfire. According to benchmarks by us hardware info it idles at 78 W and maxes at 265 W.

Question 2

How long is the card ? See if I can fit in my case.

Accepted Answer

It's a little bit under 13in if I remember correctly. I was afraid it wouldn't fit it mine but the end gets slightly smaller so it fit between the drive cage snugly.

Question 3

If i want to 2 of them in SLI, since they use 3 pci, they will be really close one to each other? i wonder if that will cause thermal issues.

Accepted Answer

They run extremely cool , extremely. . But they take up roughly 2spots. So if your board is like mine it goes 3.0 followed by 2.0 then 3.0 below it,they fit fine with Clearence. If it's 2x3.0's stacked on top of one another. I don't think it will fit. But the 2.0 port works fine for it. If you read up on the 3/2.0 support, the variation is so minimal there will little to no performance loss (1-3%)the most.

Question 4

Will this fit in a Corsair 760T?

Accepted Answer

This card is huge (about a foot long), your best bet is to measure the inside of your case to see if it will fit a card that big.  I would add an extra half inch to ensure that you have some wiggle room.

Question 5

Does the product include two 6-pin to 8-pin connectors? Because I currently only have to 6-pins in my system and want to make sure they provide the adapter for it.

Accepted Answer

The video does not provide any pin connectors at all. Your PSU should provide the pins but also depending on which PSU you have. You should check what is included with your PSU before purchasing otherwise you will have to buy aftermarket 2 8 pin connectors.

Question 6

What is the maximum voltage this can get through the zotac software?

Accepted Answer

The slider in the software will go to 1.26 but the most I have been able to put it through and keep it stable is 1.212V anytime I set the voltage higher than that the bios crashes.

Question 7

Anyone one else have problems with the voltage being locked/limited to 1.21v? What is the point of Extreme besides looks if it can't even compete with an unlocked overclocked reference 970?

Accepted Answer

install firestorm software from disk that is included with the card, its different from the one downloadable on website, it has voltage wattage amps monitoring, and voltage control does work on it, im easily playing at 1500mhz boost without any voltage increases, cheers

Will 850 Watts be enough to power 2 of these in SLI ?
