A1. Yes

A2. Your card should come with an adapter with standard 4 pin on one end and the one needed for the card on the other end.

Ahh thankyou ive been worrying so much out it!

ps. does xpertvision bundle that connector ?

 

[krazyIvan]

No, that would be EVGA.

Actually, my 7800GT came from EVGA, but I suspect they all have one in the box.

First of all i havent orderd it yet ! im deciding between InnoVision and XpertVision which is the only 7800gt`s i can get cheap! the rest are about 20% more expensive for the same thing!

anyway i went to the sites and Expert Vision dident say about any requirements for their 7800gt but InnoVision said i need a 6pin Pci-e Power Connector! and both sites dident say what there bundle was! so im hopeing you guys can tell me something about these companys cards!

Thankyou

I don't think that you need that, you get all of the juice you need from the pci-x bus itself. i think it was the agp that you needed that that power connecter for the faster cards like a 6800 ultra

Not correct, I have a PCIe 7800GT from EVGA and it does have an aux power connector, however it came with an adaptor in the box. Its two 4pin to one 6pin.
But, all 2.X power supplies have the connector on them.
