How should i connect this?

[Zarlock]

I want to know how should i connect power cables to my GPU from PSU.
PSU is EVGA Supernova G3 750W 80+Gold
GPU is Asus Rog Strix 1080

My confusion is that GPU has 6 and 8 pin connectors. So should I:
1) Connect 6+2 pin into 8 pin spot from VGA1 and disconnect 2 pins from another 6+2 pins and connect into 6 pin slot in gpu from VGA2
OR
2) Connect into VGA1 cable with 2x 6+2 pins and connect 8 pins into one socket and 6 into second socket.
In other words, do i use 1 VGA output of PSU or 2 for powering this gpu?

Thanks in advance!

This depends on your PSU.

 

I personally would go with 2 cables from the PSU to the GFX Cards 2 plugs.

it doesn't really matter i have used both methods just fine

Because of how current sensing and power limit works on Pascal cards. It is better to use multiple individual cables from the PSU (one cable for each connector on the card) rather than just using one cable from PSU with multiple connectors.

There is a measurable performance difference on Pascal but it's far from anything meaningful so unless you plan on OCing as much as you can, it doesn't really matter what method you use.
