So I got a 4870, and I notice there are two 6 pin power connectors on it. In the installation manuel it only shows one, do I need to plug them both in or just one, it comes with two cables... I know its kinda noob questions, just never seen two power connectors for one card.

Why... Coz it use GDDR5 while others use GDDR3 to keep the price low... even new nVIDIA Card gtx280 and gtx 260 still use GDDR3, but still sell at higher price than 4870... An excellent price/performance Card from ATI/AMD this is why all the nVIDIA Card Prices is sinking...
