Would using a 8 pin(6+2) connector cause any problems for graphics card that uses only a 6 pin? I recently replaced my old PSU with a corsair CX500 500w power supply, but now when I play games the graphics card is barely used.
For example in planetside 2 on my old PSU the game would utilize the GPU as indicated on the FPS monitor and would run at 60-40 fps on all low.
However with the new PSU it runs at 20-10, and the fps counter indicates only the CPU is being used.
Could it be that a 6 pin powered card does not run with a 6+2 pin?
My current graphics card is a GTX550ti.
