...fastest no 6-pin PCI Express supplemental connector videocard currently available
It doesn't matter WHY it needs to meet this specification, just that it DOES meet this specification. Maybe the user doesn't have a 6 pin PCIe connector. Maybe he also doesn't have any spare molex connectors. Maybe he's running a modular power supply and lost all the extra cables.

Shouldn't the only thing that counts be how many watts it uses, now how it is wired to get those watts?quest_for_silence wrote: It makes a difference because, as dhanson865 pointed out, almost every HD5750 card do have the 6 pin power connector (which eventually is the subject of the present thread, You know).
