Radeon HD 5850 power question - zokszo - 02-18-2014

Hello All,

I have just bought a HD 5850 to speed things up a bit, I am also completely new to this GPU business.

The card has two 6 pin power sockets on its back however I only received one cable that has one 6 pin plug attached to two molex female connectors.

Would that be enough to get the card running or there has to be two of those?

Thanks in advance,

you'll need both, I think you need a new PSU if it hasn't got 6/8 pin pcie's.
