So I'm looking to buy this graphics card. I've noticed though, that there are two six pin plugs on this card as opposed to every other R7 265 model I've seen. Why is that? Could it be because the card is an "Overclocked Edition"? Just looking for some insight here. I have a 500W PSU so I'm not worried about how much power it'll use, but where is the power going?
Why does this graphics card have two 6-pin plugs?

What brand is it?
The two six pin connectors is to provide the core and memory power. I believe the hight the clock, the more power. So that card may have higher clock speeds.

The card your looking at needs that to run, if not enough power is supplied, it won't run. if it has 2 6 pin inputs, you need 2 6 pin's into the graphics card. Some only require one 6 pin, others two, this can be due to the pre-overclock done to it, which you must be looking at one that has a good OC already done for you.
