Default Are Graphic Cards Which Use the 6 Pin Ps. Connectors Better, in General?

I was just curious, as I have noticed some require the use of the extra PS. 6 pin plug or, am I misinterpreting what I have read? Thank You!...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150330 I think, this is where I read about it. where it says system requirements, and also connectors. maybe I'm misunderstanding what's being said.

It says it needs a 6 pin plug, doesn't say it's a better card because of it.

Anyway, just because a card draws more power doesn't mean it's any good, many more factors come into it than that.

It would be like saying all cars with 4 exhausts are faster. It's not that simple.

Good enough! I was just curious, as to whether or not there might be better benefits because of the extra power cables or not by putting the power load directly on the PS. instead, of on the motherboard. appreciate your help!
