In term of processing power the Visiontek 7870 is great. I run 6 monitors, and have background processes running Litecoin GPU mining and the card ticks along wonderfully.The issue comes when you NEED to run 6 monitors. There seems to be a systemic fault with the cards, reported by many users, where one of the miniDP output blanks intermittantly though regularly (every few minutes) when under load. This is frustrating, very distracting and means you can't reliably use the 6th monitor. Using an MST hub does not fix the problem - the issue seems to be further back in the processing chain than the output itself. In term of processing power the Visiontek 7870 is great.

Im Sorry George, first Visiontek used by us, we are using 6 monitors to create a videowall with an array of 23" monitors provided by Samsung and it works fine showing videos and photo sequences using windows 7.

Yes you can any graphics card would do. I got the Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHZ OC 2 GB 256 -bit GDDR5 DL-DVI-I/SL-DVI-D/HDMI/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 100354OC-2L.

That would be a "NO" If I read the specs right you are running PC-2700 and that in no way can be upgraded to what you want.

I would say that it would be a good upgrade, it smashes the benchmarks compared to the 5770, and is better in almost every way... It can easily run two or even three monitors, I do it all the time. It depends on what you're planning to do with this card. Gaming and hd rendering I would say go for it, but make sure that you have other components that are powerful enough that they dont bottleneck it. http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-HD-5770-vs-GeForce-GTX-770

Sorry, cannot say, I'm running Vista but works great for me. Good luck! You might check with Radeon techs support.

It should definitely improve your graphics experience, but double check that your power supply can handle the new card. Also, is your current graphics handler integrated into the cpu or mobo?

Yes, it should be compatible because your graphics card supports 3D. Nevertheless, i'm not sure that you'll be able to enjoy your 3D playing, because you need in 2 times more FPS to handle 3D!!! For instance, if you play a game X on 60 FPS and it looks good, when you turn on 3D you'll get approximately 30 FPS, which looks not so smooth.

Doing the same swap, have done my homework and for gaming your framerate should boost tremendously. I have HD 6870s CF'd and Only get around 90 Frames in CSGO, upgrading this should boost the frames alot not sure how much but I expect at least a 60 frames difference.

Yes. That is what I have and it runs just fine. A good video card is a plus.

Depends...you usually want a balance between cpu power/ram and graphics.. But yeah a upgrade with g-card will usually give good results

I don't know about that motherboard specifically, it should, I am using it on a biostar ta870+ if that helps. Radeons may play better with AMD chipsets due to crossfire, but I haven't tried that.

Yes, it is compatible, but.....get a better card, like a r9-280, cause this mb is way better to just handle a r7 260x

No you shouldn´t. The radeon 7850 beats Radeon r7 260x. I have a 7850 and I´m very happy. (But I will not play at superior resolution than 1920x1080 at Max settings with modern games like Tomb Raider)

Yes, but you might have a better experience going with a AMD Radeon card, seeing as your PC runs an AMD processor. (Unless you changed it)

Yes it would work....If you have the HD6670 already and you're upgrading your monitor it would work..but after using for a while you would see the need to upgrade the GPU also. If you have the monitor already and you're purchasing a new GPU then go with some thing with at least 2GB memory

it should run just fine, as long as you have at least a 300 watt power supply and a 16X pcie slot. it will be a slight upgrade, not a ,major boost.

I had zero issues with it I do suggest an upgrade if you decide to get a better video card.
