But when the power is disconnected from the card, then i get a message saying i should connect the power cable, and cause the power power isn't connected then the card will work at a lower power setting to maintain stabilty

The power suply is not enough,other wise you had not that problem
try to give the card a single power cable not from a shared cable[meaby from floppy drive you dont need a floppy]

try to use a seperate power cord not one used by cd or hd as it needs uniterupeted power also check if there is a power socket on Motherboard as its also needed some times. Can we have M/board spec and Graphics card spec windows ver and driver for Gfx

Just as a test turn off pc and unplug Floppy and cd and if you can 1 hd power cords. just to check your Power supply is up to it DO NOT UNPLUG WHILE PC IS RUNNING.
