Would having this enable me to out perform the PS4 if I build my computer right? How much less powerful is this compared to the 970 graphics card?

It's complicated. Out performing the PS4 isn't that hard. The most important part is a top end Video card. The processor matters, as does the motherboard (newer being better), but you could have an I5 processor and a top end video card and you would easily win in most games

The graphics card will be fine for rendering simple things on your screen, however if you are trying to play games with graphics settings higher than low, you are probably going to have issues.

I looked up that build and I don't know that the power supply is beefy enough, 250 or 300w is the size I found for it. 400w is the minimum for this card I believe. (mine is 450w and I have had no issues with the card at all.) I can't recommend it for you on that computer, because it would likely cause issues for you. Sorry. :/

As long as you motherboard has at least one PCI slot your fine. CPU does not matter when choosing a GPU. Make sure you have a big enough power supply to power this card. Also you might wanna look into NVIDIA gtx 970 because its the same price (less video memory) but faster speeds.

I am using 400W power supply with this card and it works just fine. This card has pretty low power requirement especially since it has no cooling fans. This card is designed to be fully fanless by using bigger heat sinks. I mainly used it for the good performance, smaller profile and fanless design. Please let me know if you have further questions.

The minumum is 500w, but I would go for 600w just to be safe. As for it being used, I have bought used video cards before in-store at Micro Center, so they are tested first. I would only get it used if it is confirmed working. The video card itself is totally worth it. I play Battlefield 4 on Ultra Graphics with no lag (60 FPS). There is no game my PC cannot run with this video card.

Hi Leonardo, the video card will not handle the most demanding games at the highest settings. It is great for most online & basic games but not at the highest resolution or settings.

Better is a broad question, this card has an uncanny 6gb of memory which means it's a rendering beast however if your going for just gaming the 980 is probably better bang for your buck.

only belong to the game you want to play,if you want to play crysis3 or other games like this and with three displays or more, i think that you need more powerful card like gtx780ti or titan, if you only play some small game like plants and zombies，i think you only need gt650

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

Yes, the boost and base clock is superior. Cores are the same; so you would have, really, a little advantage. It has a cooling fan that help keep the temp a tad bit down. If you are getting this for video games, you will great results for last gen titles, but not so much for current games. Games like Skyrim or Battlfeild 3 or CODBO 2 will get great results, hence the reason I bought this. Battlefield 4 doesn't run as smooth as people would like. The GPU RAM (along with the other specs) makes it kinda tough running any settings on high or above. This disappointed me. My plans are to get another GTX 660 and SLI. This is not the best choice if you want to run current gen games on max settings. I would recommend buying two of these, or a GTX 770. If price is a problem, then the GTX 760 is basically a 660 for current gen, by that I mean it runs today's titles with acceptable performance. I hope this helps.

Nope. On the box it says a minimum amount of power to operate properly. I think a 350W power supply is not sufficient to run this card. Plus, you will need extra 2 peripheral power connectors if you do not have a 6pin power connector to the PSU

Hey Ronel,I have a 750 watt power supply that I am using with this card. However, a standard power supply one with no less than 350 watts should be enough to run the card with no problems. I would recommend getting a 400 to 450 watt power supply if you will be using this card for gaming.

It will work, the question is for how long. I would certainly chance using this video card with a small power supply. If the power supply burns up, just install a 400 watt (or bigger). Most of the newer computers are relatively low power consumption, and unless you're going to play hi power games, I don't think you'll tax the PS at all. Your mileage may vary!

Yes you can. Have fun with those 980s. I've got one and it is awesome. SLI should outperform juat about anything.

Ya Good, if you have installed any good Graphics Card,Overall 4 Star Performance.You can go for it. Thanks!

Depending on what else you have, and if you over clocking your CPU or the GPU it won't work. 750W is your best bet. I'm stuck in the same boat as you cause I'm trying to buy two but it won't work but I'm not trying to buy another PS
