I am woindering if my new video card is getting enough power to work right because I am not getting any display. I have a 500W supply as required by the manufacter, and the standard 24 pin connection plugged in on the mother board. it has another slot for a 8 pin connecter too but my supply does not have it. do I really need it? my card is getting the power directly from the power supply
