Why didn't you just get a power splitter? They're like $2.

Otherwise the card will not run at its full speed due to lack of pwr.

The thing that seemed to really help was installing a utility from AMD for dual core processors...that speed up the graphics by "a lot"...whatever a lot is.

Follow the link and get the first one...AMD Dual Core Optimizer if you feel like it.
