2080 Ti PCiE Setup

[rdavidson98]

Hey everyone, I’m needing some advice regarding my power delivery to my 2080 Ti, should I be using ONE PCiE cable with 2 x 6+2 pins to plug into the card or should I use TWO cables and use 1 x 6+2 PCiE adapters from each cable? 

 

I read that using one power power cable with the 2 x 6+2 pins doesn’t provide enough power compared to using two of the cables but only 1 x 6+2 connector on each of the cables?

My PSU is the RM850x

I have the RTX 2080 Ti myself, and I have 2x PCIE 6+2 cables plugged into my card, these 2x PCIE cables are plugged into separate PCIE outputs from my PSU. Is that clear enough? And yes, your PSU is good enough.....easily.

Sweet, thanks for the reply. I was just unsure as it seems 50/50 on what people say online. Sticking with the single cable for a few days while I order 2 (8 pin) PCiE cables online as the provided ones with the psu are daisy chained so looks awful with those 2 x 6+2 pin connections unplugged.

I have it the same way on my SLI setup. 4 separate cables for 4 8 pins.

Could do either.
