Question:

ati radeon 5770, i have both male connector at the end, should i connect it both?

i have a new graphic card ati radeon 5770m and it comes with a connector and it has a two males connector in the end, should i connect them both.??? thank you

Answer:

I think what you are talking about is the power supply cable adapter. It has a female 6 pin connector on one end, most likely black, and 2 4 pin male connectors on the other end, referred to as Molex and probably white. This is used when the power supply in the computer does not already have the 6 pin connector to hook up directly to the graphic card on the right side when looking in the case. You plug those 2 white male connectors into 2 white female connectors off the power supply and then plug the 6 pin female into the graphic card. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
yes you will have 2 graphics to use
One end goes into the graphics card (either port, unless one is marked Primary or Main) and the other end goes into your monitor, DO NOT connect both ports on the graphics card together, its not a good idea. It probably won't damage it, but the second DVI port on the 5770 is for a second monitor.
