anyone know where I can purchase online a cord that connects the graphics card to the power supply and HDD? It says it's required but didn't come with one in the box.

I just found out about the stupid thing that ATI and Sapphire did with there labeling and warnings on the card. I thought he same thing, but if you check the back image here , the power connector for a hard drive will not fit and the four pin connector that some PCIE cards will take, will not work either. From what I have read in Sapphire's forums, they didn't include an adapter because it would damage the card. You have to buy or find a power supply that has a 6 pin PCI-E connection.

Thankfully I found out about this before I got my power supply I ordered, so I was able to deny receipt of it.

So a standard 6 pin pci e cord that just connects from the psu to the gpu will work? I dont have one that connects to the HDD as well, but this one plugged in.

Now I have a question. My mother board has a 4 pin HDD type power connector for the pci express, If I only have the graphics card connected to the PCI Express and it's getting power from a 6-pin connection, do I need to connect a power connection to that 4-pin next to the pci express cards, or would it cause damage?
