hi there, i just got this graphics card in a sale, it seems to be missing some kind of power connecter that.

is anyone familar with said adapter and know where i might get one?

do ye require a photo?

post a pic anyway I think its the dual 4 pin to 6 pin molex

then go on ebay.ie and search 6 pin molex and you'll grab one for 3 quid or something

Wild_eyed,

There's a PDF on the Gainward site:
http://www.gainward.com/main/product/vga/pro/p00117/p00117_datasheet_10884bc3cd065f1aa.pdf?s=93
The picture on the bottom right of the first page appears to show (as mentioned by Jonny7) a dual 4-pin to 6 pin adapter. However, if you read further down it says that you need a "minimum 500W system power supply with two 6-pin power connectors available."

A quick search at my favorite online store showed them for $3.99 plus shipping.

Hope this helps,
David

Thanks. I bought one of the molex adapters but the 6 pin side wasn't right. One the shapes was wrong. I believe there is two types of these adapters. I might just bring the card into pcworld and put the big money down.

look at this:

they mention the one i need in the description, unfortunatly i cant seem to find the one i need online....

the one in this ad is what i currently have, but one of the middle pins is square, its supposed to be round....

Should be there

Or go into PC world, ask them which cable you need for it, have a good look at the overpriced one they show you, then leave, and get it online for a fraction of the price

ps, whats the power supply in your PC? just need the "watts" e.g. 500 watt and the make, e.g. Corsair

Its quite a power hungry little card.
