Q: What is the maximum resolution supported by this graphics card?

A: The maximum resolution supported is 8K (4320p).

Q: How many display ports does the graphics card have?

A: The graphics card has 1 DisplayPort.

Q: What type of interface does this graphics card use?

A: This graphics card uses a PCI Express 4.0 x16 interface.

Q: What is the recommended power supply for this graphics card?

A: The recommended power supply for this graphics card is 550 watts.

Q: What is the memory capacity of this graphics card?

A: This graphics card is equipped with 8GB of GDDR6 memory.

Q: Would this be compatible with an Intel core i5 2400 3.1 GHz

A: If you have a spare PCI-Express x16 slot and roughly two slot spaces , it should fit mechanically. Keep in mind that you need a good enough PSU as well. The main problem is even if you get the GPU working , the Core i5-2400 is extremely slow by today's standards , so you'll run into a horrible bottleneck if you do install this GPU. I'd recommend just getting a brand new computer.

Q: can you get it in store without ordering it online

A: Yes, using the availability information above the price, you can determine what store locations have inventory available close to you.

    Enough GPU power at a good price!

    Good graphics card for a good price! I built a lower end gaming computer for my wife that could run Marvel Rivals. The RTX 3050 8GB can get 60fps in the game with all the graphics on medium, but with character models on high. The game looks good enough to play and runs well on this GPU. If you are looking for just enough power at a good price, this is the GPU for you.

    Faster than a cheetah on energy drinks!

    Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the absolute beast of a graphics card I just snagged from Best Buy. We're talking about a piece of hardware so powerful that it doesn’t just render pixels; it whispers sweet nothings to them before arranging them into a symphony of visual ecstasy. Installation? Please, it was so fast and easy that I’m pretty sure the card installed itself. I opened the box, and I swear it winked at me, flexed a little, and jumped into my PC on its own. I just sat back, sipped my coffee, and watched as it slid into the PCIe slot with the grace of a ballerina who moonlights as a tech genius. Now, when I fire up a game, it’s like the pixels have been lifting weights. The graphics are so smooth and detailed, I’m pretty sure my monitor blushed the first time I turned it on. The frame rates? They’re so high, I’ve had to strap my chair down to keep from being blown away by the sheer speed. In conclusion, this graphics card isn’t just good; it’s the superhero your gaming rig has been waiting for. It’s faster than a cheetah on energy drinks and smoother than buttered silk. Best Buy should probably start selling capes, because this card is saving the day, every day.
