Help installing graphics card

[kittensnouterspace]

Hello, first time installer here. 

Sorry if I sound silly, but in the 1080 box came two cables that should be connected to the graphics card. My question is if I can use the cables meant for pcie that came in my psu box?

The pcie cable from the psu, would allow me to use only one cable instead of two. 

Is this ok? Or are the cables that come in the graphics card packaging mandatory?

those cables in the gpu box are only for old psu's with out the needed connectors. Use the ones that came with your psu.

the cables with the gpu are just adaptors, ignore them

Those cables that come with the GPU are completely optional and included for compatibility with PSUs that might not have dual 8pin or whatever connectors on them

As long as you fill all the holes with working cables, it doesn't matter if they came from the PSU or your gpu box.
