Cable splitter for 2 graphics cards

[Maralon]

Hey guys

so, my friend wants to sell me his gtx 660ti, which I also have and I was thinking of running them in sli, but since my psu only has 2 pci-e cables, I wanted to buy 2 splitters, one for each of the cables, so I can connect both cards. is that actually possible? or are there issues concerning watts and stuff like that?

 

Cheers!

No, you'll need a new power supply

If you don't have enough cables convert two molex connectors. 

 

although molex connectors can pop out if place. So just get a new PSU.

its better to have a proper PSU that supports multiple Graphics cards. most probably a 750w PSU with at lest four  6-pin PCI-e power connectors.

You COULD yes but it wont work anyway, You wont have the required aps on your 12v rail to supply whats required for two cards. You need a new PSU.

Yes you can use splitters, but only use splitters if you know you have a powerful enough PSU to handle the two cards in the first place.

 

550W PSU isn't going to be enough for two 660Ti.

Id recommend atleast a 600watt(Preferably 650 or higher) PSU, 550 doesnt really cut it when going SLI.
