My System Specs

Default 9800 gtx+ cable Q
I bought a used 9800 GTX+ from a friend a couple months back. It came with everything accept the special cable (that allows tv output among other things).

I have a cable from my 7800gt that "Looks" the same.

Are they compatible? I decided I should ask instead of plugging it in and hoping I do not fry the card ;)

Does the cable have a name?

ALSO
Is there a differance between 9800GTX+ cards which use 1 and 2 power cables?

are you talking about the S-video cable to RBG?

if so they will work.

and you won't fry your card with a single plug in

The 9800GTX+s that use dual cables tend to overclock better because they have more even and constant power, thats the only difference I saw between the 2 having owned both.
