I hope this bears some relevance to this thread, and I can get myself fixed in just one thread.
I got my HD3850 AGP card today. Boy, I've never held a card this heavy and long
Well, never had a new video card since my Radeon 9700 Pro, I have question about the video card power cable. It has 8-pin connector that goes to the card and two 4-pin ones that go to PSU. Details are shown in
picture.
Do I have connect all those two 4-pin connectors to PSU or will connecting one be enough?
