Will it work to power this card with one single 8 pin cable and using the adapter for two 6-pin cables to a single 8-pin connector on the second?

Yes it'll work, but first you must check if your power supply have the necessary watts for handle the video card. Thanks

You will need to connect it to the power supply. Most psu should have the pcie connectors for it, which I believe are two 6 pins.

you have to have an 8 pin connection.If your power supply have a 4 pin only you can by a adapter,4 pin to 8 pin

I think it will work. I didn't try it with a 500w power supply. But you can check it with yourself by checking the ampearage. Check the ampearage of the +12v rail. If it have a value of more than the card requires it will good to go..

Yes, you will. It has all 4 power cables required to plug in 2 high end cards

No, only works one way as an 8pin to 6+2. The only thing the 6 pin will plug into is the hardware itself.

I would suspect that if you're replacing a prior card in your system, your power supply will be adequate. This card does not require any additional power cable to be attached, it gets all its power from the graphic's slot. I would imagine if you have over a 300W power supply you're OK.

Hi John, base on your PC specification it should be able to work. But using 2 cards on the single PC I have not try before. You might want to email Visiontek sale support to check with them.

It should yes. The one I got was a 750w and it had multiple 6+2 PCI epress connectors. Just make sure u double check ur graphics card minimum and recommended power wattage. If you don't have enough power your card will not work

It connects to one PCI-E slot. Are you planning on using more than 1 graphics card? Look up your motherboard if unsure whether it's possible to do what you are planning.Hope this helps

The card needs two 6 pin connectors. It has converters (8 pin to 6 pin) if needed.

if your power supply doesn't already have the proper connector (I think this card has a 6-pin PCI-e power) then you can use one of the following two links which are Molex to PCI-e and SATA to PCI-E adapters. http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-6-Inch-Express-Adapter-LP4PCIEXADAP/dp/B0007RXDDM/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1396353653&sr=1-2&keywords=pcie+power+cable http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-SATPCIEXADAP-6-Inch-Express-Adapter/dp/B007Y91B80/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1396353653&sr=1-6&keywords=pcie+power+cable

Depends if your motherboard has a 240 pin power connector. And yes the power supply comes with 2 six pin connectors and a 4 pin connector so it can handle virtually any graphics cards power needs or connectors. And this power supply could handle my AMD 8 core proccesor with much power to spare so you should be good!

Yes as for single cable for each (yes) Power supply for each eight! as for Ampere not so sure never checked that i never had a need to know sorry on this one.

As long as you do not have several hard drives, or anything unusual in your system that is drawing extra power, then 600W is fine for this card. I would not personally go below 600W, but it will work.

Good Day Ricardo, we run with 2 active display port only, so far haven't try 6 into with 1 card

My power supply's have an 8 pin cable that breaks into 2, 4 pin connecters, so you'd only use 4 of the 8 pins
