Fastest GPU with Single Power Connector

[yottabit]

What is the fastest GPU with only 1 Auxiliary 6-Pin power connector?

It would seem to me to be the Radeon 6850, and behind that the 5770. Would anyone argue with that?

6850 might be it.

There's always the option of a PCI-E power splitter. Depending on how powerful the PSU is.

6850 might be it.

AFAIK, that's the one.

Can i get a 6850? Oh wait 😛

I’m pretty sure it’s the 6850. It has pretty good performance considering it only needs one connector.

Only thing i hate about the 68xx series is you can only run 2 cards.

Same thing can be said for 460 and below.

PaliT GTX 460 1GB Sonic

It has a custom PCB design, uses one PCIe x16 connector, and is actually a full inch shorter than the reference card- a huge pro for SFF users.

Ohh i know. I would be running 460's in TRI if it was possible.

Doesn't this card still use 2 6 pin connectors though? And regardless, isn't it slower than a 6850?

Does the 560 use two power connectors?

yep

2 6-pin PCI-E power cables
