any 'power connector' that came w/ your GPU is likely an adapter...
The power comes from the power supply, which should have a 6 pin connector coming from it.

so what should i do and how am suppose to attach the power connector that came with the graphic card ???

its not a power connector, its a molex to 6 pin PCI-E power adapter, and should NOT be used for a single card, if your PSU did not come with a 6 pin PCI-E cable it likely does not have enough power. What card did you get and what power supply do you have?

The connector is not to improve the performance of the graphics card, its to prevent it from crashing because it doesnt have enough power to function at full load. Your power supply should have a 6 pin or a 6+2 pin PCI-E connector that you can plug into the card, once you do that you dont need the adapter.

In the future though, read the manual, its not just a paper weight.

most aftermarket power supplies have labels on each power lead.
just match up the connectors that come of the PSU w/ the socket on the graphics card.
