Asus 4870 1Gb - 6-pin Power Connectors

[Tionontati]

A query on the power connectors for my Asus 4870 1 Gb card. At the rear, there are two 6-pin power connectors. Be supposed to I attach them together. If they integrated an additional connector, it's for a reason. If there two power connectors on the card then together necessitate power. They do not add the second to come into view at. Power supply, although. That's a toughly, I do not imagine your 650 is going to be sufficient, I frequently pulled 700-720 with my cards. I would invest in a superior unit, although, rather than using two separate ones, which be able to cause troubles. A Corsair HX750 would suit you rather well.

Let you say differently this query with a substantive verbatim. You had purchased an ASUS EAH4870 Matrix GPU and an innovative PSU to go along with it. The GPU is not arriving in anticipation of tomorrow. Of itinerary you are going to stay for it previous to installing the GPU. Presently a hypothetical and you believe this is what TnB mean to ask but what if one did not have the additional molex to connect it.

You be familiar with there are adapters that come with the card that give permission you utilize 4 pin connectors, but as for you query it might work in a down clocked mode if you do not plug in the 2nd connector. It in addition might not display at the entire, but most of them never tried on their own.

I am facing a difficulty with my video card. In characteristic: the model is ASUS 4870 DK 1GB5. The trouble is that it turns down when I am playing games, the screen turns into black and motionless hearing the music constantly until my PC crashes. It requirements reboot and so on. When the on top of is happening, a red light come into view on my card close to the power make available, the second from outside (D601). What goes wrong.

I have done a little reading and establish most of what I wanted. Similar to they determine to work extremely well together in CF and the gpu clocks determine to not scale down, presently the memory clocks. I have a present to purchase one from someone here for attractive cheap and was wondering if it would be worth it. I have not had my 4870 very long, so do not desire to sell it and go for a bigger solitary card and the entire that. My query is the presentation going to be up to at least a 4870x2. And do you believe my PSU determine to work together cards. It is a Hec-X 650w with 30/26 amps on the 2 rails. It merely has two 6 pin connectors so might I presently use 4-pin molex to 6-pin pci-e adapters for the additional card. If so, and my main PSU cannot handle them together, I have a 550w Antec PSU that I could use for one card alone. But it has no pci-e power connectors. So could I use the adapters on that PSU for the 4870 and utilize my most important PSU to power the 4890.

The Multi GPU crossfire constantly presents as well as the slowest card, so 4890/4870 CF is going to execute the similar as 4870 CF. Your PSU be supposed to handle it. You determine to almost certainly end up pulling perhaps 450-500W max, and considering your PSU it’s attractive cheap, you would say a 150-200W cushion be supposed to be sufficient to stop it from a-sploding. The Correct 4890/4870 1GB crossfire determine to yield superior results than CF 4870 1GB, even though still would not be as superior as CF 4890 perceptibly. As for the PSU, you might be starting to push your limits. You had issues with a 4870 CF on my old OCZ 600W GameXtreme. Then again, that was with a Q6600 @ 3.75GHz - your CPU determine to be a much smaller drain. Try it and observe you guess - load up Prime95 Small FTTs and Furmark at the similar time and if you do not crash subsequent to a couple of hours.

Essentially, Nathris, that is not true. Merely memory clocks necessitate matching, cores are autonomous. I used to work two identical Gigabyte 4890s, but when I swapped out one of them for an my benchmark scores improved. Memory, on the additional hand, has to work at the similar occurrence, and it determines to merely recognize the smallest amount, so if you have a 512 and a 1GB, together cards determine to read 512MB.
