It seems like you've been ripped off, 3DGameMan. The package is meant to come with a 6-pin to 4-pin Molex adapter, which you did not seem to have in this video.....but nonetheless it's a smashing card! =D

You can buy one of these by Sapphire on Newegg right now for 75.05 open box. I want one.

Actually your the only one who "noes" that the 4870X2 supports crossfire. You're such a n00b. Get some spelling lessons.

Skaugraut, if you not using 2 of them in crossfire then with one, you will only need about 500w power supply (450 minimum)... hope that answers ur question.

I`m using the 500w power supply now, but not having crossfire yet. Works great:)

3870 does support crossfire, but there are only like 1 or 2 motherboards on the market that have 4 PCI-E x16 slots...
