Question 1

hello, wanted to use this card, my current card says it is a pci 3.0 x16 card, and i see this card is listed as a pci 3.0. is there a difference with the x16? will this still work even though it doesnt say x16? thanks

Accepted Answer

You should be able to. Mine said that and it fit perfectly and runs even better than expected. I think the 16 is a 16 pin slot to insert the card into. But that's standard. So as long as you have any motherboard that is made by humans, you should be good!

PS... you're good. This card fits in everything.

Question 2

Can they SLI?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, they can not. However the mini is a great little card for low memory high draw functions.

Question 3

would this fit in a dell optiplex 760?

Accepted Answer

Looks like the Optiplex 760 was offered in both full and slim tower versions. If it is a full width tower, this would most likely fit, though I can't say that for sure. This is a fairly shallow card, so it won't need a ton of clearance. However, if you have a slim tower (slim case), then it won't fit at all.

Question 4

is this gpu able to run in a dual format with crossfire?

Accepted Answer

No, considering that GeForce cards can run an SLI and not Crossfire. I will probably rethink building or installing this card on your own as clearly you'd have no idea what you're talking about. Leave it to the professionals kid.

Question 5

will I need to install drivers from a disc to use this card? I bought a new psu and it didn't come with a power sata cable for my disc drive and I'm having some trouble finding the right one.

Accepted Answer

There is no need to use a disc. Simply google "Nvidia driver" the search results should include NVIDIA.COM     go here and enter the graphics card and windows version information. Then accept and download the driver. To install it simply double click it and runt the installer. When prompted select express installation and leave the computer to install.

Question 6

what is the size?

Accepted Answer

It is 5.75" long and 4.50" high (from plastic mobo connector).

Question 7

Can the HDMI 2.0b port power a 4K monitor/TV at 4K resolution?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 8

What is the difference between this one and the gtx 1050 lp? They both have 75tdp

Accepted Answer

I assume you are referring to the "Low Profile" version, which is what the "lp" is abbreviating. This "mini" model is made for fitting a m-itx mobo or bigger, while the "lp" is made for small form factor prebuilds with less available vertical space. As a result, the "lp" model will have a smaller heatsink, translating to degraded performance next to the "mini" or larger models.

Question 9

Will this fit in a 2016 Lenovo ThinkCentre M81 High Performance Tower Desktop Computer?

Accepted Answer

The Zotac GPU card is really quite small, so in terms of volume it's highly likely to fit in your desktop.  I was pleased how easily the card went into my 5-year old Alienware Aurora. 
I had also been worried about the card's power draw, as my previous GPU had a cable that plugged directly into my per supply.  I was relieved to find that the Zotac didn't need extra power: what it got directly from the motherboard was enough.
Your one concern should be that you have two adjacent pci-e slots available, as the Zotac's width will cover both.
Good luck!

Question 10

This is PCI 3.0 is it backward compatible with PCI 2.0 as well?

Accepted Answer

I don't know from personal experience. But it should work and is what I am planning on doing.
