I have seen a few Gigabyte cards that have lights on them. Does this one have any and if so, where are they located and what color are they?

There are no lights on this card, but you could add some with a third party cooler

The main lights on the tower are green. A there are two small lights above the USB port in front, one blue and one red.

I don't know why a few people say it has no LED. I just purchased this same model (4gb Data Traveler 100) from another store and it DOES have an LED light that blinks when their is activity. Maybe their stick is defective and their light is burned out or something, but there definitely is one. Its a green light behind the logo.

From what I can tell for the 8500GT 256MB it is 300W. That is from the best buy site for a similar card.

Is your power LED on or off when the system isn't running. It will depend on the way your motherboard handles power to the USB ports. My motherboard allows you to set a jumper to use the +5V rail from the power supply that does go off and on with the system's operation. The motherboard also allows you to use the +5VSB (the SB means standby) to power the USB ports. That stays power supply stays on as long as the power supply switch (on the back of the PC) is on and the PC is plugged in. Some motherboards may not give you this choice. Check your motherboard manual. If +5V is powering your USB ports the card reader's LED will be off when the system isn't operating. If +5VSB is powering your USB ports then the LED will remain on. Why have a +5VSB? Well that's to allow your front panel power switch to be a "soft" switch that doesn't switch the full load of your system. It also allows other components on your motherboard to to powered up when the system is not operating. That makes it possible for you to wake the system based on the time of day, by taping a key on the keyboard or clicking the mouse. Those last two require the keyboard and mouse to be getting power all the time. Today, most keyboards and mice are USB devices so motherboard designers use the +5VSB to power the USB ports if they want you to have the "tap to start" feature. Too bad they don't let you chose which USB ports operate that way. I hope that explains it for those who seem to wonder why the other guy is experiencing the power light on or off when the system isn't running. By the way, a little piece of black tape can hide the LED and others have disconnected the LED on some similar card readers by clipping the LED's power lead. I haven't cracked this one open to see if that is possible because it doesn't bother me.

I can only comment on the Asus...The Gigabyte does have the tri fan setup and supposedly quiet and runs cool. For me I have a large plexiglass window and asthetics are important and didn't like the lattice on the side and the Asus worked with my current theme. The Asus over clocks to 1300mhz and 8000mhz on the vram raising the voltage up to 1.21v. Runs not over 81*C. Not sure what the Gigabyte card does. Although I did have to RMA the Asus card twice for no display and was not an easy process. I now have the Asus GTX 770 4GB.

Don't know I returned it already . Was taking too long to hear from gigabyte tech support. Got the Asus and it works great.

Mine included one. Perhaps it was disabled or is on a mini-PCI card that came loose?

Gigabyte supports card less than three years old just record card serial number should you need to call them. I've called them about their used cards I've purchased and have gotten good support. I'm using three of their video cards and a couple of motherboards and got excellent support on all of them. Haven't had to return anything so far, its always been software or installation issue. I've always had good luck with Gigabyte and will continue to use them for all my PCs. Good luck.

To answer your question, have no clue. But i had high hopes for this card. when they work they work fine. (not for gaming). but i have gotten about 15 percent of them work sort of... they had slow down, flickering, and video driver crashes. when i would replace them with the same card they worked. (bought a few of them for work at one time). when they work they are fine but keep the box for returns just in case.

It usually comes up after the BIOS boots it flashes at the top of screen.-because of the card simply being installed. :)

If you order direct from amazon it will come in the original box the only way it wouldn't is if it was in a hassle free box but i don't think they do that with any of there graphics card sales. I know when i ordered mine it came in the retail box so i could use the UPC codes to get my rebates. Nice card too especially for what it costs now. I'm thinking of putting it in crossfire with a secondary card.

I use this card and have had no problems. I also have a Gigabyte MB, but don't recall the model. Your graphics card shouldn't have any effect on the card. I would suggest trying a different port, in case one of your PCIe ports is bad. It could be a bad card, but I own several Anker products and have never received a DOA item.

looks like it would to me. it has a PCI Express x16 slot. there is a small plastic cap behind slot, but it looks like it would clear. case height may be a factor. To be sure contact Gigabyte support, as they are very knowledgeable about their products.

I'm looking at mine, and it doesn't. An nvidia logo? That's odd! Maybe they got it from nvidia (or from people who got it from nvidia... anyways!)

The Gigabyte version is very quiet. Evga is the number 1 seller for a reason though. My choice would be to wait till the 800 series releases.
