I bought a radeon 3850 512 from newegg.. for some reason half of these don't come with pci-e 6 pin adapters.. so i had to buy one from my local pc shop. Well i got it home, and had a hell of a time trying to plug it in. Its the right adapter as I have used them before on the same type card, but this brand seems to be aggrivating about wanting to allow the plug to go in. After pretty much forcing it, i finally got it to where i think its making a connection with the pins at least..
the pc boots up, the fans spin, and windows loads, and it sees the card. How can I tell if the power from the 6 pin is actually working?
