You will need two:

Or you could buy the parts for under $10 and make your own.

they won't ship to the UK.

title says :about to buy 4870" but the card is a 4890

you do realize the difference, yes?

4890 is "njector only"......no flash, no boot screen

see my 4890 thread for cabling alternatives, applies to 4870 also

sorry I meant to post this one:

it comes with a 3 year warranty (most others come with 2y)

and based on your thread a 4pin molex to a 6 pin PCI-e is what I'm after:

would this do? Coupled with the cable that comes with the card that should be all i need?


EDIT: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-018-AK&groupid=701&catid=48&subcat=

perhaps better??

if you want both DVI ports working, it is XFX or nothing I'm afraid.

And I wouldn't jack around with the Molex thing if you don't have too.

Get the special Apple Cables, or make your own.
