 |  ASUS duel plug? I have an ASUS V9999GT/TD/256M/A... Can anyone tell me the reason it needs 2 12v rail plugs on the back of it when I have seen the exact same model with only 1 12v plug? |

   | Re: ASUS duel plug? Can you take a picture of it? I cannot see any reason for it, it's just a 6800GT, it's not like it should be a power hog. Asus VGA N6800 TD 512M GF6800 DDR2 TVOUT DVI 2ND VGA RETAIL (N6800/TD/512M) : ComputerHQ

| Re: ASUS duel plug? Hmm...beats the crap out me why it would be there, I can't think of any good reason..and thats the first card I've ever seen like that. You said you have the same exact card with only one connector...I take it you bought them at different times? Thats is a TV out card I think, so maybe that has something to do with it, are both cards 512MB, or is one a 256 MB version? Just out of curiuosity, can you post a few more pics of the card (Front, Back, and the other end) and maybe a few of the other card for comparison's sake? Maybe we can get a clue that way...

| Re: ASUS duel plug? I have seen one like that before on my homies Asus Nvidia 9950 AGP video card. What its used for I am not entirely too sure. Maybe to power the massive fans he had on it. One reason for his though is that it was an experimental model as very few where ever released....... |
