nvidia geforce 7900gt plugs needed?
on my old power supply, if i didn't plug 2 of the cords in the adapter which then plugged into my 7900gt then i would get a message saying that the cards not working at its full capacity because of lack of power
now i got a new 400 watt ps, and i had to unplug the adapter from the card because i need those 2 plugs for something else, but i no longer get that message! and my games all seem to be running fine without it so is like the pci-e port giving it enough power on its own? or is it some driver update the made power use efficient enough to not need it or something?!

It's best if you plug in the power cord. Check your core/mem frequency of the card, it might be lowered due to insufficient power.

it probably lowerd because bfg's are oced cards. i remember their 6600gt constantly lowered the power because i was using a crappy psu at the time.
