Hi all! I remember a while ago there was all this talk about that the 3080 has a different connector for power than the last gen etc. Now does the 6800xt reference also has that? 

 

I currently have a 1080ti, can i Just take it out and plug the 6800xt in, or do I need a different cable? Now it is like a chain, not two different psu cables going to my gpu. It's a tx650m or something from corsair.

The 6800XT uses the standard 8 pin PCIe power connector design. Nvidia's 12pin cards came with included adapter cable to use with the standard PCIe power connectors.
