Hi this is the graphics card ive been planning to purchase tomorrow i was just wondering if i has a 6 pin connector because i was looking for one without a 6 pin pcie connect
in the specs the only thing it mentions about pci is PCI Express 3.0 x16 which means the pci on the motherboard so can someone confirm that this does not have a 6 pin.
 
Solution


mine is factory OCed and still doesn't need 6-pin
this is really a preference from the brand on whether to give the consumer more OC headroom or not
@OP u can try to search around for brands that u like and see in the description whether they need a 6-pin or not, usually on the requirement list
but if ur PSU had a 6-pin, getting a GPU with 6-pin won't be a problem then
6 pin, is for power source
PCIe is for connecting your GPU to your Mobo

assuming your card is this: GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti G1 Gaming 4G
yes, it requires a 6-pin connector, from your PSU, not mobo!
check your case to make sure it fits, and your PSU to make sure it has a 6-pin connector
u need at very least 300w PSU for it to work (400w just to be safe)
