HD4870 help.

Ok, so i was planning on just getting some cheap card but decided to get something decent. I picked up a HD4870 and Im in the middle of installing it now, however, Iv got a quick question Im hoping someone can answer. The cards got 2 plugs for the PSU and Im wondering do I need to plug something into both of these or just one? and are there certain cables which I need to use for them, or is it ok to just plug in the ones that fit the socket/s?

Just bumping myself off page 3. would love some help. My girlfriends not happy about me using her computer to post. :P

Hi I have the HIS version of the HD 4870 512Mb. Yes you have to connect both

6 pin PCIE connectors to the back of the card. If you don't have any PCIE connectors

coming from your power supply,then chances are your supply is not powerful enough.

If your power supply has one PCIE plug then you will have to use the molex to PCIE

adapter that should be included with the card to make up the second plug.

Thanks for the help. All up and running now. :)

Hi That's great!!! I love happy endings.
