- Owner's manual
A: I had to order mine from bestbuy.com as they were sold out in stores near where I live.
A: It all comes down to what you're using your monitors for. Are you using all 3 for some kind of racing game? Maybe an FPS? Or maybe an RPG? A 1070 can run most games, but fast paced graphic heavy games are more suited for the 1080. While the 1070 can run 3 monitors, in the long run the 1080 will last longer in comparison with future games. It also depends on how much you're willing to spend. The 1080 dropped in price since the 1080 TI just came out so it's worth it in the long run. But if you're tight on cash, the 1070 will suffice.
Q: Will this work in an hp envy h8-1534? not sure if I would need an processor update or something?
A: It depends. How much space does the case have? What is your psu rated for? What resolution/frame rate do you want? I run this card for a 1440p/144hz/1ms monitor and i hit 90 - 100 fps on ultra settings. Do you have a strong cpu? If you want 60fps at 1080p, then a 1070 or 1060 might be a better fit.
A: Yes, you will need an SLI bridge. Check with you system manufacturer. Most motherboards come with one if it's sli capable.
Q: How do I find what stores have this in stock?
A: I found my Nvidia GTX 1080 by visiting the Best Buy Web address and checking each store within my area for availability. After finding a store I called to verify the item was actually in stock. The item may not be on the store shelf but rather in the stock room.
Q: Will this GPU be compatible with a Windows 7 PC?
A: Yes, this will be compatible with Windows 7.
Q: Can this card work with asus sabertooth z170 mark 1 board?
A: Yes as long as your board has a PCIe slot. I'm using mine on an asus z97 board.
A: Yes it is. Just make sure your PC's power supply can deliver enough power along the 12-volt rail.
