Will the r9 270x dual x work with only one connector?

[lolhate]

I just replaced my hd 6850 with this card and it needs two connectors but in the power options it says I can also use only one, help? Thanks

If you are sure it says you only need one, and you only have one, put it in. It will start or not, but you wont damage it by trying. Just dont leave it on if it doesnt start, no point in further risks.

No, it will not work as it should be working.

What exact power supply do you have?

where did you read this? it needs 2 power connectors to provide the correct volts. if you only use 1 the card will likely not boot.
if you only have 1 pci-e 6 pin then you can always use a 6-4pin molex adapter to get the extra power needed, assuming your psu has enough to start with.
so no you will need 2 6 pin connectors if you dont already have them, the the card ships with the required adapters.

The card came with two six pin power come torso that plug not the guy into a molex connector.
On the bag it came in it says connector options: 1x4 pin 1x6 pin 1x8 pin 2x4 pin 2x6 pin 2x8 pin 1x8 pin+ 1x6 pin. I'm not too wavy with all the power stuff

Sorry, my tablet decided I wanted to type something else, I meant to write that it's a six pin connector into a molex connector

???? the top line makes no sense to me mate.

AMD recommends a minimum of a 500 Watt psu, the power supply should also have a minimum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and have at least two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors.

You are mis understanding. It doesnt mean options for the card, it is just a list of contents.You need to fill all the sockets on the card or it will refuse to run.

 

[lolhate]

Alright then what am I to do?

 

[lolhate]

Do you know of any bronze certified 500 watt psu that will fit the bill?

 

[lolhate]

Will a corsair cx500m modular 500 watt be good enough?

 

[HEXiT]

yes pretty much any 80+bronze 500w psu will have enough amps to run that card.
