graphics card question

[hbbaboy]

hi everyone how are you

anyway got a question here

i bought a graphics card i had a gtx 550 so today is 2015 with all the new games just couldnt handle anygame i got a r9 380 4gb my question is i think i installed it wrong is it possible a graphics card can run with 1 6 pin today when i woke up i took off the case and made sure to plugin both my 6 pins very sturdy and made sure it was clicked and very in there i'm trying to figure out if a graphics card the r9 380 4gb can run with one 6 pin if it can that will verify that i was getting the fps it should if no that means today when i opened the case and plugged in both and made sure both 6 pins were in that i can get higher fps i'm very confused some one help do u guys think 1 6 pin can power a graphics card and if it can do u think it has any fps drop instead of 2 6 pins

what i meant to ask is

is it possibole that a r9 380 4gb can run with one 6 pin connector
and if it can run on one 6 pin connector does it have less fps performance
then when running one two 6 pin connectors

i try to google it but theres people talking about 8 pins an stuff not related to specific topic

 

[hbbaboy]

i know i have 2 connectors that are 6 pin i'm just wonedering if it was possible that just one 6 pin was connected and i feel now that i have both 6 pin connected i was wondering if it would make a difference in fps

 

[hbbaboy]

i have both the 6 pin connected right now but i'm trying to figure out
before i accidently only had one 6 pin connected
i'm trying to figure out
if now that i have both connected will it boost my fps performance

 

[hbbaboy]

i didn't do it on purpose i instaleld it to quickly after i unboxed it now i have both 6 pins connected

I'm not sure I am following, but I believe you are saying you conneted just 1 6 pin by accident at first, and that it seemed to work ok? And now you have connected both 6 pin connector, you want to know if you fps will increase?

If thats the case, then the answer is, most people will not be able to tell you the answer as most will not have tried to connect things incorrectly, and most would not want to test it anyway.

Just be happy that you noticed before anything went horridly wrong. Now you can test the system for yourself and enjoy your purchase.

kk thank you

Simply

1 six pin connected = burning / exploding gpu, mobo and or psu

2 pins = playable

So in theory yes 2 6 pins will cause more fps in that with 1 it will kill everything.

kk thanks
