May be its for the cooling fan? Can you post a pic of your motherboard and the wire from the video card?

Are you talking about the 6 pin PCI-E connector?

the 8500gt doesn't use an additional power connector thought Rit, has to be the fan or a language barrier.

that wire is more than likely some sort of audio plug of some sort i dont think it has to be pluged in to make the card work.

You don't connect it anywhere.
There should no no cables involved with the 8500, i'm pretty sure.

Actually, those wires are used for HDMI Audio, you connect them to your Motherboards Audio Headers/Sound Card Headers, if your looking at using HDMI or something of the sorts, that's what that Cable is used for. (I don't really remember the name at this moment tho)

It's a useless Cable that you can pull out unless you're going to be using HDMI.

Also, looking at the Graphics Card, there is an HDMI Port. Question Anwsered. =)
