cheaper than free?

no i am saying there is known problems with the gigabyte motherboards power delivery system. on the ud7 there is an additional plug you can plug a sata power cable into that supplements the motherboards delivery of power to the pci lanes. this was initially included to help power 3 and 4 card...

lesson learned was find a girlfriend with smaller feet :)

they also have really big magnifying lenses, clamps that hold very expensive delicate jewelery, took him about 20 mins to save me a new chip

same holes, same slot size, pci 3 offers more bandwith to devices that can take advantage of it, graphic cards still do not max out 2.0 i have a pci 3 graphics card, and an amd motherboard, 990fx motherboards have 2.0 i am quite positive

does your mobo have the extra power input for the pci slots? what version of the 990fxa do you have? ud3? ud5? ud7? what revision? if it has the extra input as my ud7 does just try it before you spend any more money

that sir, or ma'am is a display port you might, just might be able to find an external enclosure for desktop graphics cards that plugs in there.

it is your cpu bottlenecking this many other posts on tom's recoment an i5 cpu

i'm betting its mobo power delivery like my issue was check the board and see if there is an extra sata power input. mine is just above the sata ports on the ud7 apparently gigabyte cheaped out on some of the power system components on some 990fx boards

check your power settings, both windows and your motherboard. sounds like you are on energy saver

it is a 2.0, the 1060 is backwards compatible will work with it, however you might need to upgrade the psu.

most if not all monitors have the height in the specs.
