Bought a new video card, and it requires adapters from the power supply, which my power supply doesn't have.?

I don't know what to do, are the adapters that I can purchase?|||"Its a 4870 HD PCI-E card, and the card came with adapters.. but there aren't any cords coming from my power supply where these adapters can fit." - Then you need to replace your power supply.|||most high end GPUS requier 2 x 6 pin connectors. DO NOT USE converters, they never work gr8.

Upgrade your PSU to anythin higher than 650Watt that has those GPU power connectors.

Oh wow youve got my card. nice choice brother.

yeah just get a PSU that has 2 x 6 pin GPU power connector. ive got 1200 Watt Antec PSU, but thermaltake 850W (black widow) has that connector too.|||Most cards come with the adapters... if not, you can get them on ebay, or at a computer store such as MicroCenter... However, make sure that your power supply can handle the new card before you plug it in. Depending on the card, some of those can draw a lot of power.
