[jambab]

i recently bought a graphics card and it got delivered today so i fitted it into the motherboard. booted it up and all working fine. but then i found this other cable with it and i dont know where it goes.

this is what the cable looks like:

any ideas?

What card?

Could be digital sound, My 260 came with one.

Looks like the SPDIF cable to me.

well it came with my Nvidia Geforce 9500 GT and sorry about the picture.

I just want to know do i need to fit it? or not? or where to fit it if yes?

it;ll go from your gpu to thre spdif sound on your motherboard.

No you don't need it to run... its usualky used for sound out to a tv.

yes that is used for passing digital audio through a DVI to HDMI connector. unless you plan to hook it up to your TV through HDMI and want audio too then it's not needed.
