[QUOTE="Noels, post: 720038, member: 49942"] Cam, You need to look at the wiring in your Mac and see if there are two video card power cables available. You of course know you have the one hooked up to your current video card, but you need to see if there's a second tucked away. Perhaps the PSU has modular cabling, meaning you could perhaps add that cable to the PSU and then down to the video card... If you can't find a second video card supply cable (six by two connections), or that the PSU is modular, a call to Apple Tech Support or a visit (or call) to an Apple Store may be able to help you. They won't help with the video card, but they should at least be able to tell you about the power supply. You could also call ATI or the card maker and ask them if he card will perform with only one connector. Or if a cable with a Y connection (one from PSU - two to video card) would serve as well...
