Hello,

 

I am looking at getting 2 MSI 980ti's, but the PSU is throwing up some questions.

 

I have read that an 850W *should* be enough, but the 980ti's require 2 8pin connectors each.

 

The G2 comes with 2 6+2 pin connectors, but also with 6+8 pin connectors (From what I gather, it is 2 cables in one wire), if I am going to run these cards in SLI, does that mean that I am going to have to use just the 8 pin part of the 6+8 pin cables? - would that have any issues?

 

 

Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

 

Thanks.

You are good but you'll have cables hanging off.

There are no 6+8 pin connectors

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?
