I have an ACE 600W power supply with 26A on the 12V rail. I only have 1 connector. I have a display problem so I bought this graphics card to test whether the old one is broken. Can anyone tell me whether or not the screen should still display with only 1 connector plugged in, even though it takes 2. The GPU still turns on when I boot, but there is no display; as i have a display problem, i of course can't tell the nature of the problem.

Solution
it should still show the display but the card will overheat and more than likely cause the PC to shut down because the fan isn't getting enough juice to spin fast enough.
