So, I've narrowed my choices to these two cards, the latter being more expensive and stock, while the HD 5850 being a HD 5850 Sapphire Xtreme Edition, but was wondering if it requires two 6-pin PCIE power connectors, this is not really a problem, but I was wanting to get a GPU that only need 1, not a req., just a preference.
I was also wondering if the HD 6850 only needs one, as it only uses 127W, as opposed to the Hd 5850's 151W, and , is the what temperatures would I expect from these cards, would the HD 5850 be cooler as it uses a sapphire cooler? Is the HD 6850 worth the Extra £15 if it is less powerful?
Thanks in advance for any help given.
