Hi guys,

I have recently purchased this card => http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?leg=&...

As you see, my card is Radeon HD 6970. I have already plugged it to the computer but I have a concern here. It has a power cable like this one => http://thumbs2.picclick.com/pict/2803980628454040.jpg

There are 2 ends here, which go to power source obviously. I only connected one of them to the power source, and the card is working just fine. However I'm curious if I should have connected the second end as well or not?

Could you please help me here?

It is recommended to plug in both from two separate lines from the PSU, otherwise it can be starved of power under heavy load.
