    My cables connect to the bottom port of each card. Bottom of card is where the card plugs into the Motherboard.

    Btw: All those cables connect to the same monitor. My monitor has multiple video inputs so this works. Many of the newer flat screens have this feature.

    Ati recognized and Ok the Hd 5870 is installed. The Hd5450 doesnt recognize the monitor. The connector on the 5450 has no "thing" to screw That "thing' is not there. Sorry I dont know the name. The two things to "screws" on each side of the connector are not there.

    Those are actually not entirely necessary - they are just screws that help keep the monitor cable in place. Half the time, I don't use them, as I don't move the monitor or box. If you just have the connector, you can just plug it in, and it should work.

    No dont recognize.


    How can I see if the GPU is no good. Because this Gpu came from Germany maybe has some problems.

    The best way would be to removed the other GPU from the computer, and only put this GPU in the computer that you want to test. See if the monitor turns on when you run it. You do not need to screw the cable in, just plug it in, and it will work fine.

    I have SEVERAL dummy plugs available for those with ATI/AMD GPU cards that may need them.
