Is it Necessary to Connect Both 8 pin and 1 single pin connector for regular use not overclocking ! What is Default core clock Speed of card ?

Two 8 pin connectors are mandatory to run. Default clock speeds are 1080mhz core and 1250 memory. The extra 6 pin connector is for overclocking in LN mode.

You can just use the two 8 pin PCIe power connectors. My GPU was clocked at 1080 GHz. I've read that there is another 290x Lightning, possibly distributed in Europe, that is clocked at 1050 GHz.

You only need to connect the two 8 pin's for regular over clocking. The extra 6 pin is for when you want to push it. The stock clock speed is like 1000 core and 1475 mem off the top of my head

Yes. As long as you have good enough power supply, and can find one of these cards for a reasonable price. I love the card but for the money of buying two... you might be better off buying a slightly newer/more powerful card. It would be a lot more efficient, probably cheaper and definitely quieter. Then again, if you already have one card, then go for it!

for a single card they recommend a 500 watt power supply, so if your running 1 you should be fine.

I can tell you this, and it might not directly answer your question:the powersupply is not designed to be very powerful, it was made to save on power costs. It is also non-standard, so you need to take that into account.ALSO,It has 2 displayports, out of the box. although I haven't tried hooking up 2 at the same time... so you may just need one additional card

It connects to one PCI-E slot. Are you planning on using more than 1 graphics card? Look up your motherboard if unsure whether it's possible to do what you are planning.Hope this helps

It requires one 6-pin connector from the power supply. Source: I own the product and it is my current graphics card.

Still researching the question but I "assume" the question related to a requiring a 6-pin connector to power the card - besides the PCI Express slot itself.

as this card doesn't have a fan onboard, auxiliary power is not needed. it should be fine with your system. I use the same OS and it is working very nicely.

I don't think it's a good idea. While the sockets are the same, the core count is higher in the RM series. If the pin outs are the same, you might only be using one core in the RM series, and what's the point of that? Have you asked AMD support?

It depends on the other components in your system. I run a 450w power supply with this card and no issues. If your CPU is sucking up more than average watts you may require more , but this card has a very low power requirement considering pretty good performance.

What kind of connectors are you using? If it requires 6 cores you will be out of luck.

Just to clear something up. yes the video card takes 2 6 pin power connectors, but it comes with an adapter to convert one 4 pin from your power supply (used to power a hard drive or what not) to 6 pin. So with what comes with the video card you only need one 6 pin connector on your mother board, and can actually get by with none if you can find another adapter.

Hard to say for sure, but my numbers are really good. The problem is I have card variance. One card overclocks core 1225+ and mem 6000+ on a VDDC offset of only 131. While the second card overclocks to core 1180+ and mem 6000+ on a VDDC offset of 145. One card needs little voltage the other needs a lot. So I have to unsync them (voltage-wise). After that the sweet-spot took a little while to find. I game with both cards OC-ed to 1140 and 6000 with VDDC offsets of 75 and 106. 3D mark scores at stock - Firestrike extreme 9260 and at overclock 9400+, over 9522 once, but was unstable clocked on the core at 1160. One thing to note. I have these in PCIe 3.0 x16 and x8 slots. The performance would be slightly higher if both were x16.

Good Day Ricardo, we run with 2 active display port only, so far haven't try 6 into with 1 card

They are not interchangeable. Only one pin count will fit the slot. It will be either 184 or 200.

I just purchased this card and it requires a minimum 300 Watt PS with a minimum of 20A on the 12 volt rail. This is based on a newer core-i7 processor. I have an older core-i7 and my card seems to be working ok with 18A on my 12 v rail. I am only running One monitor at the moment, but I will have to watch during heavy gaming if my PC crashed or reboots. If It does than I will need to update my Power supply.

This card requires a 750W or greater power supply with two 150W 8 pin PCIe connectors. I hope this helps.
