EVGA Nvidia Gefroce GTX 750 Ti FTW Question

Hello there!

I am a week or two away from getting a brand new EVGA Nvidia Gefroce GTX 750 Ti FTW card (upgrade from Gigabyte Geforce 550 Ti 1GB) and I see that there is a PCI Express 6-pin connector.

Is this a must connect connector, or leave it not connected if I'm not making a overclock.

And what if I connected the connector but not overclock? Will anything get bottlenecked or will there be any difference?

 

Thanks!

Not all 750tis have a 6 spin, the reference card does not and takes all power from the PCI-e lane

 

But some of the factory OCd ones do need the 6 pin connected, 

 

 

Why would you not want to connect it?

I'd just adapt two molexes into a 6-pin. What is there to lose?

 

It will come with a dual molex to 6-pin btw

I don't believe it'll work xD But I could be wrong...

When a graphics card has 6 or 8 pin power connectors they must be connected for the GPU to function. All of them must be connected to the correct connector (no 6 pin in a 8 pin plug). I don't know of any exceptions to this.

The 750 Ti will need the power, people really underestimate how much difference that "Ti" makes. I'm really impressed with my 650Ti, plus it's Kepler so doesn't cook like Fermi did. Also, Shadowplay.

I think the 750 Ti from MSI does not have any power connector. You can try that if you really need to go that route.
