ok i was planning on upgrading to an 8800gt and i have a little power questions...since i only have one 4 pin connector left in my case can i use a 4 pin splitter and then use the 6 pin adapter to power the card???thanks|||Make sure you've got enough WATTS to start with ... assuming you'll need 400 or more|||Yes you can do that, but are you sure your PSU doesn't have a 6 pin PCI-e cable? Cause if it doesn't it may not be able to even run the 8800GT. Can you link me to the PSU you have, or tell me the specs that are on the label. The number of amps on the 12v rail is what i'm looking for.
Watts mean nothing without amperage. You can have all the wattage in the world, but if it's not on the right rails, you're screwed.
