You have to check everything nowadays - compatibility, size, etc. Think yourself lucky the card fits in your case at all!

Consider this a lesson learnt in the world of building PC's!

The ZS550 has enough connectors, so your PSU can't be that one.

Hello my VTX 7870 arrived today and after plugging it in to my pc i turned my pc on to find that the card doesnt display a signal, the fan spins but it doesnt display anything, the PSU i have is the OCZ 500W Stealth2Extreme so i dont have 2 lots of 6 pins, only 1 lot.

Anyone know if its the PSU that is the problem? my previous card was a 6850

He says what psu he has in his original post and that psu does only have a single 6pin pci-e plug.

Keep thinking and you'll understand soon why that's a facepalm

Read post #20 and you'll understand, it's from his previous thread when he was asking for Graphics card recommendations.

To be fair, I didn't read the context of the posts properly either. xD
