Q: why do the lights turn from white to red? is there a problem with the card or is this normal?
A: It turns red when the card is under heavy load. Like when you’re playing a game on high settings it puts the card to work. The white light is indicating it’s at idle. Don’t worry about the red light being an issue. It’s not going to hurt the card.
A: This Card Is More Than You Will Ever Need For World Of Warcraft This Is Good For All The New Games That Are Coming Out Today
Q: Hi, will this work with an AMD FX(tm) 4300 quad-core processor 3.80ghz, 8.00gb Cybertron gaming PC?
A: It will definitely work, as long as your case can accommodate the size of the card. I am currently using this card with an AMD fx 8320 system and it works well. Be advised however that the weaker the processor, the higher likelihood of the CPU bottlenecking the GPU and therefore you might be paying more money for performance you might not be able to utilize to the fullest extent.
A: Yes since it's still a GTX GeForce graphics card. However I'd make sure your CPU and processor can handle it first. If you have an i5 or higher you should be good to go.
Q: what's the power supply needed?
A: Currently running an EVGA 500w and its more than enough. I'd say as a minimum wattage don't go below 350w.
A: This product ships with the actual card itself, and a manual. That's it. If you have a newer PSU it should have a 6 pin. That being said, this card does NOT use a 6 pin connector it uses an 8 pin.
Q: Will this be compatible with my AMD FX(tm) 4300 Quad Core Processor? It will replace my GT610.
A: Currently running an 8300 (only difference is the 8300 is an 8-core not a 4-core) so yes it will be compatible and you will see a major bump in performance with this card.
A: Yes, if it's compatible with your system, this will help you run 95% of games at 1080p. Depending on the accompanying CPU, it will run at 60fps as well.
