Does a NVIDIA Asus Strix GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 require a 6 pin power connector?

[thekondzi]

I'm thinking of buying a NVIDIA Asus Strix GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 and i realised i only have a 4 Pin Power Connector and i want to know if this Graphics Card requires a 6 pin power connector.

Here's my specs just in case
Motherboard - ASRock G41M-VS3
CPU - Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
GPU - AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
Ram - ADATA PC3-10700 (667 MHZ) 8x2 GB
Memory - I don't understand about memory a lot so i'll just show a picture - https://gyazo.com/3c35145c6c178b2aadad4d41248ba930

Thanks for the help.

Yes, it does.

What PSU do you have? Something with a 4pin PCIe connector sounds either extremely old, or junk units.

The one you found is not Strix edition

 

[Barty1884]

Yeah, I see that. Exact same model number though....... very strange on ASUS' part.

Even stranger the 'top end' Strix card doesn't need supplementary power, yet the step down does

Well, there is more weirdness coming. Strix has higher clocks then the other one.
