Question:

does my power supply need to have 2 pci e connectors for my graphics card to work?

I bought a 9800 gtx card, and it needs 2 power cables connected to the power supply for it to work. It's a monster card. My power supply has one pci express power cable only. Will I need adapters to plug into my power supply?

Answer:

The adapter must have two of the four pin Molex connectors. It uses three of the wires, in the four pin Molex connector. (3 wires x 2=One 6 pin PCI-Express power connector)
