cool, I will probuly go with the regular xfx for the woranty.

One more question I only have a 450 W power suply and it seem like it does not have a six pin just a bunch of empty four pins. And the four pins come in pairs and their pairs are conected to something ele is that a issue?

I have been hearing that some of the new 8 series cards have external power what does that mean and I want this card does this one have it?
