That should have a cable from the power supply attached to it. Since you have some extra memory lying around might as well use it, it might not help specifically for FFXIV but it should improve the overall performance for other tasks.
I know the nvidia cards do it, but if you don't have the power plugs properly connected, it gives you a warning when you boot the PC and wont even load to bios. At least in my experience thus far with more modern gcards.
