I got this GPU for Xmas and i've put it in, and connected it to the Power Supply. Ive un-installed the old GPU drivers and installed the new ones. When i boot up my PC only 1 of the 3 fans works. And as a test i decided to load up Dark Souls 2 on high graphics, but the card wouldent even run it on low graphics, so i am a bit stuck now and would appreciate any help.

My current specs

500w PSU
gygabyte dx-10 motherboard
RAM- 16GB DDR3
Old GPU - AMD Radeon 6670
New GPU - (In the title)
Core - AMD 8 core Bulldozer 3.1 GHz

Any help would be appreciated....and yes it is my first GPU install so im a major newbie

The Sapphire website (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1227&pid=2167#) gives a minimum power supply requirement for this card of 750 watts so your power supply is the problem. So the only way you can use your new GPU is if you upgrade your power supply.
