[H] Power connector Sapphire Radeon X1950 PRO
I just picked up a Sapphire Radeon X1950 PRO 512MB AGP on Ebay http://www.sapphiretech.com/en/productfiles/168image5.jpg It has two power molex connectors on the tail. Unfortunately the manual doesn't mention these. I am not concerned about the power as I am running a PCPC 510. But do I need to plug both of the molex connectors in individually to the power supply, or is one is one of the molex some kind of a pass through? I assume this would use regular ATI drivers?
Re: [H] Power connector Sapphire Radeon X1950 PRO
Both need to be connected. The min specs are 450w with 30a over two rails so two molex connectors.

I have a bench AGP PC here that has a 350 watt Enermax PS. If I put this card in, and plugged it into a separate AT PS, ... it's own PS, would that be a safe thing to do. I am not ready to install it for real, but because I bought it used, I just want to make sure it is OK before I stick it in the drawer. Thanks
Re: [H] Power connector Sapphire Radeon X1950 PRO
I know there is secondary PSU's being made to supplement main PSU power to video cards but don't know if it takes specially wired PSU's to allow them to work in tandem. From a 12V rail standpoint I'd assume you'd want to be feeding it from 2 separate rails assuming 16A/rail so you don't tax one rail. Looks like the Sapphire version shipped with a molex splitter but again I'd be worried about taxing a single rail. Given the power requirements of a modern cards, vendors should be more explicit stating their power breakdown by bus number of rails. Seems hard to find, from what I seen looking around, to find the total amps needed never mind a breakdown of what's being drawn from where.

I have been multitasking and noticed that everything runs very, very well like I would expect it to. Is there a way to specify which core an app will run on or would you have to move to an OS like Unix/Linux for that? I think there is to the extent that you can specify how much CPU time to designate to a particular processes. Look in Task Manager for this. But I don't think it is worth the effort in a desktop environment.

Totally missed that little checkbox in Process Explorer :) Thanks. - Brian Weeden Technical Consultant Secure World Foundation On Sun, Mar 23, 2008 at 8:00 PM, j maccraw [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I thought Process Explorer has multi-core monitoring?

Re: [H] CPU monitoring tool for quad core?
Brian, In Process explorer, click on one of the visible graphs on the main form. This will open up another form that has the graphs with more information. At the bottom left of that form is a checkbox that says Show one graph per CPU. Make sure that is checked.
