I just got my 7790 in the mail but when i plug in the 6pin i get no signal but i also dont have a cable running from it to my monitor. Do i need the dvi cable, and is that why im getting no signal? also i only have a 430w psu is that why my computer starts and doesnt display a signal? please help!

You definately need the DVI cable, and no you PSU should be fine with this card, although I wouldnt recommend overclock, if you connect up all cables and still get no signal the a) check it is correctly plugged into your motherboard and b) call the card manufacturer to report a faulty card.

Should i still get s signal though even though i dont have a dvi plugged in but a vga to the motherboard? When i plug in the 6 pin and restart my pc i get no signal. When i use the dvi will i get signal?
