Help Powering 3080ti.

[Abraham Casas]

Can someone please help me, so i have an EVGA Gold 850w PSU. 
 

i recently just got the 3080Ti but my PSU only came with x2 single 8pin VGA cables and x2 8pin to dual 8pin VGA cable. 
 

Is it safe and powerful enough to use a single 8pin occupying one PCIE slot and another using an 8pin to dual 8pin occupying another PCIE slot? Hope that made sense. 
 

here is a picture of what i mean. 
 

thank you to anyone who can help.

it's probably okay, but would be more ideal with a third cable. do you have a spot on the psu for a third pci cable? iif so, you could always just order a third cable from evga if you want.

Use two singles and 1 double with 1 left hanging

I do have an extra spot, just wasnt sure on what route to take. Thank you tho! Ill just add the cable to be on the safe side.

It should run fine in your current config

But since you already have the cables, run 3 individual harness to it but only use one connector each on the GPU

No point buying a single cable unless you don't like dangling cables

I ended up plugging in 3 separate cables. Thank you!
