I just purchased a mundane HD 4890 from Sapphire, and was surprised to see not only a blue PCB, but a 6+8 set of power connectors instead of the 6+6 I was expecting. The surprising part was that the package only came with two 4-pin-Molex to 6-pin-PCIE adapters. This leads me to believe that it's fine to run the GPU simply with a 6+6 arrangement, but to what extent?
Google searches have lead me to believe that it's fine to run the card in a 6+6 configuration, yet have also indicated that 6+8 is required for Sapphire's overclocked SKUs for operation. Help!
Thanks.
