Is the color scheme on this gpu as it appears in the pictures? (black with chrome, and tan on the pcb edges)

Correct. This indeed what it looks like. The black and chrome on the edge of it are glossy. While the outside black is matte. Yes it is tan on the pcb edges but this shouldn't matter as it will be covered up with the slot.

No on the first two. The aluminum part is the deck around and below the keyboard. The rest is plastic colored to look like brushed aluminum. It is very sturdy, though and the aluminum deck gives it a very solid feel under your hands. This machine is not *quite* as thin as an ultrabook. It is almost that slim, though. I think the specs say it's 1" thick closed, which is about right. I haven't tried SC2 or D3 on mine, but this Acer runs League of Legends very well, and I have run SC2 on less powerful laptops. I would think you could play both games, but not on max graphics. This computer is definitely a step down from a performance ultrabook, but for the money, it's not a big step down.

I would try and do some more research on it and maybe give the company a call I'm sure they could give you a definite answer before making the purchase. But the lights in the psu are a nice touch and look great in my case. Hope I've been of some help.

I have hooked it up to my PC and it looked fantasic. The resolution is the same as yours IIRC. Check you VGA cable, it almost sounds like it is too long or it is bad. It should look really nice when you have it working right. Also check to see how old your video card is, older cards may have trouble since it is an odd resolutions. Check the manuf web site to see if there are updated drivers. Ernie

They seem consistent to me. I use it for CAD work and my second monitor is used mostly for menus. I did quick check by dragging a picture from one monitor to the other and I couldn't see any difference. I down loaded the software from NVidia and am able to have different color setting for each monitor, but have not needed to do so.

There are two colors, Motion Black and Phoenix Blue. I was confused about that as well because the colors are so similar. Just Google 8700 G pics to view the difference.

It's crazy how many different answers people give for all the questions on this monitor. It's glossy on the front, monitor half and a matte black finish on the back half where the output ports are. The base/stand is also a glossy black finish.

HelloIt is, I have some pictures in this post http://jiff1980.blogspot.mx/2013/08/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-650-oc-2gb-gddr5.html

If the part number ends with b, then it's black. I wondered too. Even the box it came in had the chrome finish sissy bar on it. But inside the box the sissy bar was black and perfectly matched my Phantom.

I would think it is the metallic gray as those are the only two colors announced (white and metallic gray) and a black color hasn't even been mentioned. If you scroll down to the product description part, the tab appears lighter and more like the metallic gray should look like. If you want to order tax free you can also check out newegg(dot)com as they don't charge tax either. I would rather order from amazon also since I have prime but newegg also has free 3 day delivery and no tax. I went ahead and pre-ordered here. If I find out soon that it's not the metallic gray, I'll just cancel and pre order somewhere else. Hope this helps some

No this is not the reference design as it has a custom cooling system, reference designs only point to the cards directly from AMD

This one is mATX board, 3 GPUs might be tough, I found tough to manage 1 GTX 690 itself. Apart from fitting these, GPU cooling might need pretty tight cabling. I would advice not to go for this GPU.

The color display is dependent on the graphics card itself, not the CPU chip. Make sure you have a good driver installed, and you might want to reseat the card if you're still having issues.

If you mean if it has a cover in the back say like Evga well no.. The back of this cards looks like the back of any mother board.. Circuits and all that but it's a great gpu!

I don't know if they vary but just my heat sinks are black. The chips are green. They pretty much cover the entire stick though. Just a little corner by the mobo can be seen.

The card in the image is how the card looks. The angled heat-sink is what you may be thinking of (it looks like a pyramid with the top cut off). I have had this card for awhile now and it has been good and quiet. not a power house card but a good low end game card.

Possibly, hard to tell from picture. Best to send email to gigabyte tech to know for sure.
