Question about the GeForce 7600GT

[adamcube]

I'm thinking about purchasing the new XFX Geforce 7600GT XXX, but I'd really like to know if it requires any extra power from the PSU, like the 6800GS did. I've tried looking at the pictures of the board, buy I'm not able to make out weather it has an extra power connector or not.

Anybody know?

Yes it needs a power connector.

I'm curious about this card.

Anybody got some first hand experience with this new teaser? I hear it packs a heavy punch against other mid-range competitors... not to mention the last generation 6600's.

Could someone provide with detail or link to some place where they've made a review or something? I would appreciate your efforts.

Thanks

I don't think there is a power connector on further inspection:

Unless that black box is for the connector???

Y'see on the 6800GS, there is a little box like that, just I little further to the edge for the power connector. But that one looks a little smaller, and ofcourse further back, than it's 6800GS counterpart. Anyone have any thoughts?

No power connector required for the 7600GT.
