I have a HD4870 video card that I plug 2 6pin pci connectors into from my power supply. Whenever I start games in higher graphics setting the card loses power its seems cause the fan cuts out and the screen goes blank, and then it comes back, sometimes with the driver failing. I know I have the right drivers so Im looking at a new PSU.
My question is the one my friend will sell me comes with 2 6 pin connectors. It says it is SLI ready. So, hypothetically, if I wanted to add another card, I wouldn't have the cables for it. Are there older graphics cards out there that just take one 6 pin connector thus his psu could supply two of those. it seems as those cards have gone from 2 6pin to 2 8 pin on the higher end. Is this correct?
Any help would be appreciated
