question on 3870 install

[demighost]

Sup all, and merry belated christmas. I just got a palit 3870 for xmas woot. And I have it in my motherboard. But I noticed that it came with a power adapter that connects two 4 pins into the pci power connector. Am I supposed to use this? My psu has its own pci power connect that has no other connections on that line. which should I use?

if your power supply has a 6 pin pcie connector use that one.
the adapter is for if you don't have a pcie power connector on your ps

OMG this card is pretty good. I just scored a 9803 in 3dmark06. Thats from my previous best of 4553 with my x1800xt. Thats double the performance. I have one problem though. CCC doesnt work, this is a rather big problem for me as I need to send video to my tv to watch video. ANy idea on howto fix? I tried reinstalling. I no longer get a error but it just doesnt come up.
Also im running 7.12 now.
