How is this Graphics card powered?

[Josh555]

Im a little bit new around here and i was wondering how this graphics card (ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-SFF-SLIM-755-760-780-360-380-Dual-VGA-Monitor-Video-Card-PCI-e-x16-/122331834446?hash=item1c7b8ba84e:g:B1oAAOSwa~BYZbfa#viTabs_0 ) was powered. Is it powered thru the PCIe port? or is there a cable that needs to be connected to the power supply? 

 

Thanks, Josh

though the pcie port only, but don't buy it.

Jup, they're powered by the PCIe port, which can supply up to 75W.

It is powered through the motherboard, as part of the 24pin (or 20 or whatever) unless it has an external PCIe power connector, which it doesn't seem to have.

Through PCIe slot.

Just like most no externally powered (low powered) GPU's, this one receives I believe 75W through the PCI slot.

yeah, by no means am i using this for modern equipment. this is going on an older Dell Optiplex machine that i use for experimental stuff, not gaming or anything that needs good graphics.

just use the igpu on that or anouther random gpu, you don't need a optiplex gpu.

 

Please don't get that.
