Power connectors, 6800gt,

This might seem like a bit of a stupid question, and not worded very well but plz bare with me.

on my MSI 6800 256 gt i just purchased, it comes with a power cable for it that has 3 ends, one end goes into the g card itself and the other end goes into the PCS power supply. But what do i do with the 3rd plug? Do i also have to plug that into the PCs PSU?

at the moment i only have it plugged from g card to pc, and the other end is hanging loose.

But do i need to plug both ends in?
thx

 

Dont worry its just in case you didnt have a spare power connector for the graphics card.

The GT only has the need for a single power connector its the Ultras that need two.

Good card though

 

thx for the fast reply

thing is though, that it is only a single power connector, its just that it splits in two...

the card came with two power connector cables, each with 3 plugs on

so i guessed one was a spare

just not sure if i have to plug two ends into my pc and one end into my card


lol
