Hi there, I just got a new graphics card for my computer, I bought a Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 after a unindentified Zotac card. This Nvidia card has 2 6pin power connectors, but the old Zotac has only 1 6 pin power connector. Is there any way to make this work without buying an adapter? Thank you in advance.

What is your power supply and does it have two 6 pin connectors? And if it only have one but if you have an 8 pin connector you can just you an adapter. But really it depends on what psu you have. 

But after a quick search online I have found an article which might pertain to you:
