Which power cable for a sapphire AMD radeon 7950 3GB video card for Mac pro?

Can someone show me which power cable is needed for the 7950 Video Card for the Mac Pro? Also is the 7950 flashed so the Apple logo shows when you boot up?

power cables in radeon 5770 Hello, I am thinking about getting an OEM radeon 5770. It only includes 1 cable, but I can see that there are two sockets for the cable. I can't seem to find anything on google, but if anyone knows the power cable situation in these cards, please let me know.

How/where do I connect PCI-E or Molex power in a A1188 2008 Mac Pro tower? On my workbench I have a 2008 Mac Pro tower A1188. According to this document I ordered a AMD Radeon RX 560 (this one) to replace a faulty graphics card. The RX 560 fits on the board, but it has a connector to get more power from the power supply. It appears to be a 6 pin PCI-E female connector on the GPU, and in the box was a short adapter cable that plugs into that PCI-E slot on the GPU, with two Molex connectors on the other end. The problem is, I do not see any connections on the Mac Pro's motherboard or power supply for Molex or PCI-E. I am not really a Mac expert, but this seems crazy because every PC I've ever worked on has Molex cables hanging around. How do I get this GPU connected?

MAC ATI RADEON 5870 CARD DOES NOT HAVE POWER CONNECTOR PORTS Hi, I purchased a "MAC" ATI RADEON 5870 CARD but when I tried to connect it, I noticed that there were no "6 pin" power input ports. I purchased this for a 2010 Mac Pro and it's prior card had one input power input "6 pin" connector from the motherboard. Is my card missing something? Is it not a valid MAC ATI RADEON card? HELP!!

Different manufacturers cards may have different power requirements.

You look at the input plugs on the card, and feed them according to what they demand.

The 7950 is a graphics chip. Some cards based on it were manufactured with Apple firmware, some were not. Some variants of that specific card had a little switch on board. Some were deliberately modified after they were sold, and are no longer true to their original firmware.

You need the Seller to tell you, and you need to be able to trust the Seller to stand by their claims.
