Video card power connection

[kingkong8]

This is a really newb question but here it goes. I have a Sapphire 4890 which has two 6 pin power inputs on the card. The card came with two 6 pin to 4 pin molex power adapters.

Does it matter if I use a 6 pin PCIe power cable directly from the power supply for both these power inputs on the card, or do I have to use a 4 pin molex power cable from the power supply and use the adapters to connect to the 6 pin power inputs on the video card. Is there a difference either way?

No there's no difference, just make sure that you have both the 6-pin connectors connected from your PSU to your graphics card somehow. Also make sure that you have enough amperage to support the card from your 12v rail(s)

Alright. Thanks for the clarification!
