How well does the card operate using a HDTV as the monitor, using just a regular display seems pointless especially if your gaming?

I use VGA out to my living room tv and hdmi out to my bedroom. It works great, I can watch movies in two different rooms at the same time.

IM RUNNING A 32" AOC no problem. The video card has worked well, great value for the price.

Of course this will depend upon the HDTV, but the card has an HDMI output and will perform quite nicely. You're not going to run the very latest games at the highest of resolutions, but then again you're going to be running at resolutions of 1920x1080 or lower according to the specs of your display. You'll be fine. Buy the card.

I'm driving a 60 hd led flat screen with absolute ease. The only problem you will have is with amazon streaming videos will not recognize this as a hd device and will only stream standard def to it. I have emailed them several times as this thing in a computer is vastly more powerful than a roku for instance that they will stream hd to. It will however up convert anything you play through your computer. Hope this helps.

Even if you don't do games, it doesn't take much of a card to drive it. UHD is no big for a graphics card to push around for basic desktop stuff.My GTX670 handles video scaling on it fine too. I can use high quality upscaling with MPC for video and it runs fine. Even for many games, it surprisingly, drives them fine, although the newest games of the last couple years that really push things might have some trouble if you try to drive them at UHD.

Disclaimer: I am not a hardcore gamer. This card can handle its own on most games with medium settings. As a daily performer the card is solid. I have had no problems with a dual monitor setup. My favorite thing about the card, which I guess speaks more to Nvidia as a whole than it does the card, is the rate at which new drivers are released for the card. Kudos to them for that. If you keep in mind that you get what you pay for and don't expect to do any hardcore gaming on it than I think this card is a good buy. Runs quiet and cool.

it's acceptable, but i have mine setup with hdmi, mainly for gaming. you can't go wrong with this monitor no matter what you use it for, especially the price.

I have mine connected to my HDTV I use as a monitor so it's actually better than VGA.

For TV it is not necessary, unless you have Blu-ray. For computer monitors you want to go for it on the other hand cause it makes a GREAT difference in video games. Actually you kinda get addicted to it... I mean seeing it in 120Hz. Everything looks SOOO SMOOTH. You need a proper high end GPU though.

Let me answer this way. With the default settings on the card, it is whisper quiet. My whole machine is very quiet, and so is this card. I can't hear it in my living room. Of course in a graphics intensive game the fan will turn up higher, but honestly even then I haven't noticed it, and I'm pretty easily annoyed by that kind of thing.

No...What ever your output display card is...is converted to HDMI. If you buy it let me know if stays on. Mine stops working when it is on for about an hour.

We use it in my business and it is not used for gaming. It is used for 3D modeling with high resolution graphics and works well. No gaming or high motion video. I do not think HDMi would solve that.

It's great for that, and you won't need a card for HDMI unless you buy a mobo w/o one.

While we don't use it to game it has a much higher refresh rate (600Hz) than a comparable LCD and due to the nature of Plasma there is no motion blur. I have not read any reviews specific to gaming but based on my experience I think it would work well.

I am using it as a monitor. I had the previous generation model used as the same. Neither is gaming, so I can't respond to that, but as a big screen monitor with built-in speakers, it works great.

Shouldn't have a problem. I am running this card in a system with a Pentium D dual core. So I would think you should get way better results than me. I run mine as a media server to my TV. Works great, streams over the HDMI beautifully. I really like the card for what I use it for. The only issue is that you will need space large enough for it, no mini cases or anything like that, and it needs good air movement. In my HP system that required me to drill holes in the side so it could draw fresh air. Then again mine is ancient, so you probably have a more modern case with more than 1 fan. If you want this card for extreme gaming... Well you would probably have something more than an i5 system. It will probably do decent for light gaming, I just wouldn't expect too much out of it. Hope that helps.

Using with 660ti here. Believe I'm using the display port with a cheap generic adapter to hdmi. Did not encounter any big time issues. Going on 2 years.

Onboard video that isn't that great if you are a gamer. Regular use is fine. I installed my own card.

I have 350 watt and the card is fine. I wouldn't use anything less. The only problem I have is that when I connect my monitor via HDMI, the display output is larger than my screen.
