Sparkle GTS450 1GB DDR5 128bit?

Hi people. I'm just wondering, cause I am going to buy a PCI-E card at the end of the month. I saw this GTS450 and it requires a 6-pin connector, but when I checked my tower, I didn't see any 6-pin connector. Now my question is, is the 6-pin connector optional? If not, how am I going to use my PCI-E card without it? My motherboard is DG31PR with 500w of PSU. Thanks a lot people.







AND PLEASE, lastly.. I am still comparing these two cards:

Radeon HD5670 and Nvidia GTS450.............. please help me|||It's not a very good power supply if it has no PCI-E connector.



Usually the graphics card comes with a 2x 4-pin moles to 1 PCI-E 6-pin adaptor. I would check to make sure.



The GTS 450 is a better card than the 5670. The GTS 450 is on the same level as the 5750. If the prices are the same then get a 5770.



A voice in my head says you looked at Best Buy. That is probably the worst place on the planet to buy a graphics card. You would be 10X better off by ordering it online. You can get a 5770 or 6770 for about $110-120 at newegg.com.



Yes, you have to connect the 6-pin power connector to the card. Otherwise it won't work. Like I said, usually the card comes with a molex to PCI-E 6-pin adaptor.



Check the link below. You will see that the GTS 450 is much faster then the 5670.



I would check the pictures at newegg.com.|||GTS 450 is a crap when compared to HD 5670. Get the HD 5670 DDR5 or add a bit more and get HD 6670 1GB DDR5. Both cards have much better performance than GTS-450 and have lower power consumption too.

Also HD 5670/6670 dont require any additional power connector, just the PCIe slot is enough. So, both these will run efficiently on your PSU unlike the GTS-450.|||It's not optional. If you have a 500w PSU without a 6 pin power plug then it's a horrid piece of crap. That being said, most cards will come with a molex adapter so you can use it.



And why the 5670 and the GTS 450? The Radeon 5770 or 6770 is the same price as the 450 and soundly beats it.
