my 6600GT and my 7800GT both get into windows fine without power, and nVidia control panel displays a message and then just it disables a few features.NightmareXX said:Well usually if you forget to connect a power lead to your GFX, the monitor still works but it stops during POST and displays a message saying "conenct power to card".
I have first hand experience of that Didn't realise my X700 Pro required power so I turned it on and was greeted with that message
maybe its just clevererererer
