Re: First Choice Video Card

You need one standard 6 pin PCIe power cable. Most modern computer power supplies should have at least one.

This could burn out you motherboard under heavy load. The 6 pin PCIe power plug is on the back of the card.

See this product page for specs, and this PDF for the power guidlines.
