EDIT made from 4 pin to 6 pin
Hi all I have a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (015-P3-1589-AR) 1.5 GB GDDR5 SDRAM PCI Express x16
My mother board is about 5 years old (not sure what it is). I just bought the GTX580 and when I connect the 6 pin power with the PCI express power cable to my graphics card my monitor does not display anything.
I've bought an 8 pin power connector that connects from my power supply from the motherboard to the graphics card and that doesnt work (computer doesnt even turn on). I also tried combining this 8 pin power connector as mentioned along with the 6 pin PCI express and still computer does not power up.
Do I need to get an adaptor from my 6pin PCI express power supply that splits to both the 8 and 6 pin (the graphics card manual is vague about this).
edit around 13:15 of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tODufhBjhEA
the guy does both 6 and 8 pin - I have a 6 pin PCI but no 8 pin PCI - can I split the 6 pin with an addaptor since I dont have another PCI
thanks guys - cant wait to play vermintide 2
