It would work fine dadda. The internal signaling is standard worldwide.

I would suspect not. However for the cost, beyond international shipping, must factor in the various import duties and taxes. Something like %15-20 when importing into the UK. And of course no warranty. So in the end when its all added up it might be better to get it domestically anyways.

correct dada for the PSU converts DC power to computer    your inline voltage isn't effected  for  GPU 

 

unless you had a 120v PSU and use UK 240v power line to PSU then you have a nice warm fire works and computer toasted

 

todays PSU most are auto sensing inline voltage,  older units have a switch for 120-240v line  and switched when unplugged

If you use it for any kind of TV out or capture be aware there might be some changed settings needed for ntsc/pal differences.  Doesnt mean it cant. But might require setting a jumper or something on the card. Watching bbc stuff in the us via streaming you can tell the conversion from 25 fps to 24 causes the occasional frame skip. Just a thought to keep in mind and read about.

@@dadda2  that's external AC power, your power supply converts it to DC. The internal components work on DC power and that voltage is different than what you are worried about.

Dadda2 have you read about the new GTX 1080 that was just released?  Also the GTX 1070 comes out in June.
