Basically i'm a total noob to PCI-E gfx cards...
I'm soon to have my grubby mitts on a PCI-E system with a 2900GT on its way in the post -not the most amazing card but a step up from an AGP 6800! And it was only 60 quid
What i'd like to know is if my HiperR 480w power supply is likely to have/need an 8 pin PCI-E connector?
It's about 4 years old now but it's still going strong and wasn't cheap at the time, i'm trying to upgrade for as cheap as pos - if it doesn't, can u simply get an adaptor to power the card from a standard molex power cable??
If any1 knows about the same psu or can shed any light on the subject i'd be most grateful! Cheers
