|
|
I got this video card and it has 2 PCI-E Power slots or whatever. The thing is, my PSU came with only one power supply came with only one. So do I need to have 2 PCI-E connecters connected to my GPU or is it okay with only one? And is there a way for me to get another connector, like convert a molex to one or something?

Im guessing it probably wont work, if you bought the graphics card it normally comes with the two connectors i thought.

Just get a converter, if your PSU is up to the task in the first place then you'll be fine.
If you mean if you only plug one into the video card... if you actually manage to get into Windows, you'll get a wonderful message from your drivers telling you that it's drastically scaling back performance and you should plug it in.
