Default Re: GTX 680 or HD7950 vid card and HDX-3 - how do i do power for the cards?
This is the question for me... Does the Sata Port Power work with the HDX Card...
Is it enough to power the Card...
I am interested in the hint to use a Sata to 6 Pin Cable. How does this work?
The Mac HDX Cable uses the proprietary Connector for the Mac Pro, which is smaller than a normal 6 pin connection...or is this wrong?
I want to do the same thing... I use the PC Cable and a 6in Sata to LP4 Adapter...
Maybe someone, who power the card from the sata port, can tell us which adapter cable is the right one...

thanks
