Hello Guys,
i am Building a Gaming PC since last Month on a Low budget of 1000$
(things are really Expensive in india so you can call it low budget because i won't get cool things at good price)

ok lets come to topic,

i postponed to buy GPU because i was out of cash after i completed my Generic PC

Now somehow i managed to get some money and Ordered "ASUS GTX 760 DCII OC"

and its on its way to my its Destination

while looking at a youtube video i noticed that it has a 8 Pin Connector port instead of 2 x 6 Pin for Powering it.

ok well there's no 8 pin Connector on my PC, 4+4 is already connected to MoBo

but there are many 6+2 Pin, so my question is would they do same task like an 8 Pin?

if yes..

Does these two 2 pin makes any difference?

Well thanks for your Quick Reply,

Now my another Question is

the 2 Pin connector in Image 2 vs 2 Ping Connector in image 3

does they make any difference in power etc?

i mean in image 3 the same wire is just attached to another port...

Does they make "any" Difference?

Hey before you plug in that one, check your PSU manual if that's for the GPU (but no other hardware uses a 6+2 but a GPU) just to be sure. And usually, there's a GPU written on it, if there's none, then read the manual. You can use that 6+2 on a 6pin GPU and just take out the extra 2 pins. It's perfectly compatible with either 6 pin GPU or 8pin GPU.
