WARNING: I don't have that much knowledge in Graphics Cards.

So a week ago my dad unexpectedly bought me a new GPU. He doesn't have that much knowledge in computer parts, etc. So he thought it was a good deal because the guy that sold to him said that it originally costs more than 200$ so he bought it for about 100$. I had an AMD Radeon HD 4850 512 Mb graphics card. Then I decided to upgrade from the AMD Radeon HD 4850 512 Mb GPU to the EVGA Geforce GTX 560 Ti. During the process of upgrading I realized that the AMD GPU had one pair of 6 holes for the PCI-E cord to go in but the GTX GPU had two pairs of 6 holes for the PCI-E cord to go in. So I started asking myself if I need another PCI-E cord for my new GTX GPU. After install it in the PCI-Express x16 slot, I turn on my PC and it did something not normal. It didn't show any signs of display and it biped 3 times. So that's my problem I am currently trying to fix it. Any suggerstion would mean a lot. If you mind me for my grammar I just wanna let you know that I am young and I am sorry. Thanks!

If your PSU does not have the appropriate power connectors - it's a good sign it's not capable to run the GPU.

Wattage isn't everytihng, the make/model would be required to give any definitive advice. Quality PSUs (older though, generally) may be able to run it with the single 6pin....... but that doesn't sounds like it's the case here.

Did you have the extra PCIe power connectors? If so, are they both connected?

Which PSU (power supply) do you have? It'll be written on the label on the side.

It's worth noting the power requirements are dramatically different between the two cards.
HD4850 was around 100W
A GTX 560TI is a ~200W card.

The 3 beeps can mean a few different things (depending on the motherboard vendor/BIOS installed).
1 Long + 2 short, for example is "GPU error" on ASRock boards.

No I only have 1 PCI-E power connector and I can't really see how many watts my PSU has so I am guessing that the power supply is not strong enough or/and I got to have 2 PCI-E power connector. Anyway thanks!
