hey i am going to be getting this card but i cannot find this on google so im am hoping someone can help me. i can fit a 11 inch long card and a 2 inch wide but i do not know how wide the card is and i do not know how tall this card is. if someone can please tell me the measurements including height i would be much gratefull
@SilentWalk18 For that Card I would recommend a 550 W PSU or just go 600 W and be one the safe side even though you wont need allt he wattage. Now the most important thing when you buy a PSU make sure that it says 80 PLUS Certified! And that usually comes with good brands such as Corsair, XFX, Seasonic etc.. So just check online reviews for your PSU of choice and you should be fine.
How much powe supply do I need for this graphic card, I have a 350 W which I am sure is too low and will just make my computer go in “beep alarm” mode, so is 650/850 W good enough?
It’s the graphic card covering up the sata port section? I know some motherboard have that problems with that?
@davomrmac Lol… Kinda lost me at that one. -First time building a computer and barely knows the terms- I’m not sure what PSU is, and no, I’m using the same motherboard as the one from these videos, and sadly, there’s no built in graphics, otherwise I most likely wouldn’t of bought the graphics card =P I wish there was, it would make life a WHOLE lot easier.
@MrAlexYall Sounds like it is getting power. No the card is not bad, just requires a low rated power supply, so your PSU is unlikely to be the issue. Has you motherboard got built in graphics, if yes connect to that. Then you can check your BIOS settings. I am no expert though
@davomrmac I would besides that fact that it’s 5 in the morning =P Also, as a continue of my last comment, I do see the fan on the card move when the computer’s turned on, so I know it’s receiving power because of this, right? And did I get a crap-shoot graphics card for gaming? By your “low” Statement.
@MrAlexYall Give the guys who sold it to you a ring, maybe a cable was missing, maybe it needs more power than your PSU can supply. Mind you, reading the specs it says 300W which is pretty low.
@davomrmac No, I wish I could show you it, it has no area to plug in power, and yet I’m almost sure that’s the problem. At least that’s my last guess.
@MrAlexYall Oh right, yes that might be it. Did it come with power cables, if so feed it some power.
@davomrmac Yes, I’ve tried both, actually all of them, including a hdmi to my tv. I can’t seem to find a power source that the graphics card needs, I know that’s most likely a stupid comment, but I can’t tell if it needs some kind of power besides being plugged in. I had a theroy that I needed to install windows in order to install the video card, but then I realized, if I can’t see I can’t install it.
@MrAlexYall Silly question, but r u plugged into the right monitor output? Try them all. Sorry if that is a silly suggestion, but best to start with that.
I have the same motherboard as you but I’m using a PNY GT 240 graphics card. I’m building a computer and it all works except one problem, I can’t see my screen. I can’t seem to find the problem with graphic car/motherboard connection. Any suggestions? =/
@staticslipk5 Around £200-250 I think.
@adamKlD $399 at MSY
how much was this card back then?
@bmigotcha i no this is a few months old, but if u wanna spend the extra money (not much) the 6000 series is beter option to get, i’m after the 6970, $499 AUS, but thats top of the range atm in 6000 series
confussled..i opened the box thingy but i didn’t see my graphic card in there only a big thingy in the left corner or something.. idk if that was my graphic card but idk how to changle it.. e_e i got ATI radeon x1200 series.
5870 is here in holland for sale for about 240 to 250 dollars ( euro +/- 220 )
I bought one caus I think it’s worth the money.
new series are awsome but too expensive for the performance.
Notice the graphics card SAG after he pushes into the PCI Xpress port? (time sequence 3:08) It’s a good way to damage your motherboard.
The case should be on its side when you install expansion cards. And those cards should be mounted with screws first before moving the case upright again to avoid damaging the PCI port..
hey bro
hey bro m thinkin 2 buy gts 250 1gb with dis card can i play every game on max Including metro 2033
@Elliott4gaming No, I use it for video editing.
@bmigotcha Awesome. Very good performance for the money.
How good is the asus ati radeon hd 5870 now because im thinking of getting it but i don’t know if its worth getting it now?
