Does the X800XL PCIE X16 require a power connector?

[Mindripper2000]

I know some of the AGP versions of the Radeon cards need power connectors but i'm not sure about pci express ones.

Thanks.

No it does not have a power connector, please search next time there are about one million threads on this.

Also, you can see in pictures at newegg.com that the x800XL doesn't have a power connector.

Some do, but most dont. I believe its the Vivo ones that do.

yep

the ones with the extra power tend to overclock a little better too, but i dont think its by any great margin, i havent seen more than a 10% oc on the X800XL's

pci e doesn't because teh pcie slot provides enoug hpower. the agp if there is one doe not give enough.
