Why it has 2 power pins?

Follow Question Posted by DragonForce on Jul 27, 2011

Hi, I recently bought this video card and when I opened the box, saw that it has two 6-pin power connectors...In every review I read, before buying the VGA, there was only one connector...What can be the reason?

Level 2 It can be some newer revision of the card

Level 9 Different revision of the card card, in the reviews you might have seen the card with one 8 pin connector, this one has two 6pin power connectors and most probably an adapter from two 6pin connectors to one 8 pin included in the set :) I assume you can`t power it for now...if you have 2 free molex connectors and your power supply is powerful enough buy

it should do the job and it is cheap, so if it doesn`t work it won`t be a big deal :)

Level 7 Maybe the VGA was not stable with one 6-pin connector and that is why they put another one :)
