Comments, Questions & Reviews:
yes, but the question was... by Stu
Answer by robinm on Monday, March 30, 2009
usually 6pin pci-e power connectors and you will get one in the box
how many does this card require? Since it is an x2 card does it need 2 x 6 pin connectors or just one? Any chance of more pictures of the card showing the power connector(s)?
Just checked with the warehouse and its got the necessary power adapters included. 1x6pin and 1x8pin which will connect to your molex 4pin connectors on your PSU
Power connectors by Stu
Hi Aria - can you tell me how many and what kind of power connectors this card needs? Are there any converters (from molex to...) in the box?

Compatiblity and performance by Pete
Hi ARIA. Is this Ati card will work properly on nvdia chipsets nforce 750i Sli or 780i Sli? Thanks
Yes it should be fine on its own.
32bit compatibility by Kayotika
Does this card run ok with vista premium 32bit?
PSU with this card? by RandomOfAmber
Hi there - I'm building a system with (I think) a Gigabyte EP45-DS3P, 4GB PC-9600 DDR2, and one of these 4870x2s, and I was wondering what sort of PSU should I be considering for the build?
(If it helps at all, I'm probably going to build the system in the Antec Twelve Hundred case...)
Thanks!
