I myself have the Sapphire version of the card (1950 Pro AGP 512MB
GDDR3) which also has two 4-pin connectors and comes equipped with a
similar y-splitter. I actually had to use it myself since I did indeed
run out of 4-pin power plugs (having 3 hard drives and a DVDRW drive in
my system). I only had one 4-pin connector left, so I plugged the
y-splitter into that and BOTH ends of the y-splitter to the graphics
card; works just fine.
