Hi
does the RADEON X800XL have an extra power plugin?
I thought, the PCIe version doesn t need extra power.
I ordered a Club3d X800XL and many people say that it needs extra power.

Yes, that black connector in the back is a 6 pin molex for power.

If you check some of the newer PSu's coming out like the thermaltake 700W
monster you will note that they contain PCI-Xpress power connectors (as well
as the standard 4-pin molex). So I would say that they do need power.
Easiest thing would be to download and check the manual for the card you
have ordered.
