Question 1

Will this work with windows 10? it says vista 7 and 8 but not 10

Accepted Answer

My system has been on windows 10 for about 5 months.. I only play Mechwarrior and World of Tanks but i works well for both games on Windows 10. Not to mention running at 1.5GHz

Question 2

How is the fan noise?

Accepted Answer

Very quiet normally, but you can hear it under heavy load. Be sure to install the firmware update from Zotac. I don't find it to be any noisier than other cards I've used. It might actually be quieter than the single fan models.

Question 3

Does the fans stop when it is on idle like other brand?(msi, asus etc)

Accepted Answer

The original bios keeps the fans running at 60%-65%. The new bios, available from Zotac Support, (email them), runs the fans at a minimum of 30% and increases it to 100% depending on load and temperature. The fans run constantly, even on idle. You can use the Firestorm application with the advanced button and set them at any speed you wish, but I find letting the bios manage the speed works great. Nice card, very fast!

Question 4

so this card is dx 12 I won't have problems running this on win 7 will I?, on dx 11 right?

Accepted Answer

Correct. DX 11 is on Windows 7 and above. U should have no problems, as far as compatibility.

At this point, DX 12 is in the future and I wouldn't count on this card being fully compatible with DX 12 (search for the recent Async Shaders controversy). 
If you want full DX 12 compatibility, I would rather wait and buy a Pascal-based Nvidia card.

This card is excellent in my Intel , Win 8.1 machine.

Question 5

Question 7

will this graphic card be compatible with pci express 2.0?
im upgrading from nvidia geforce zotac 560,will be able to upgrade?

Accepted Answer

Yes though a 3.0 card will run slower in a 2.0 PCI-E slot.

Save up for a few months and buy a newer motherboard, CPU and memory to take advantage of your PCI-E 3.0 video card in the future.
