Does anyone know if the sapphire 2900 comes with an adaptor? My psu only has 1 6-pin
Yeah, it comes with 2 Molex>6pin adaptors

Ok, so I installed the card and anything seems to be going fine, but I have a few problems which are bugging me abit.
1) Whenever I load a map on QW:ET, it's like my computer stutters, and everyone on Teamspeak breaks up really bad.
2) When I open Xfire in QW:ET, my FPS goes down to about 2-3.
4) Goal replays on FIFA07 also run at about 2 FPS, even though the game runs fine.
3) Whenever I boot my PC, Hardware Wizard keeps asking me to install High Definition Microsoft Audio Drivers, automatically switching my Sound to the Realtek Drivers when I boot up.
None of these problems occured before I installed my card.
Thanks

That is normal I think it happens on every machine for a few secs at the start of every map. I had that on my old 1800Xt as well. BTW how's your card running ET:QW? Seems openGL continues to be a weak point for ATI as I still can't play it smoothly with everything maxed out + max AA & AF @ 1280*1024.
That is the 2900's built-in 5.1 sound chip for HDMI output purpose I think. The drivers are available from ATI site. After you installed the driver make sure you go to the sound properties in the control panel and switch the default sound device to your sound card and not the one on 2900pro. And make sure you check the "only use the default sound device" box.

Thanks for the help
But in regards to point 1), it occurs whilst i'm loading the map, not just as I enter it.
It runs it ok, I havn't tried it with max AA and everything yet though
