If the GPU is this card, yes it requires a 6 pin power connector. Not the most elegant of methods but you could use either a SATA to 6 pin cable or a Molex to 6 pin connector (assuming you have a molex plug) if the PSU does not have a 6 pin connector. Sata to 6 pin here and molex to 6 pin here both at Amazon.
Bought a MSI gtx 7010 since multiple posts here and on reddit said it would work with just the power from pci slot. Unfortunately the Nvidia driver installer isn't finding it, I don't see it in device manager or in the bios. Fans on the 1050ti aren't spinning on bootup either. Am I doing something wrong? Does actually require the 6 pin connection? Any help would be great since this was an Xmas gift for my kid and I feel awful that it isn't working. Thank you!
