I have this nvidia sli cable thing and I don't exactly know what it's for. I searched google and it said that it is for if you have two graphics card. I only have 1 geforce ftx 660, do I need to use this sli cable at all?

You don't need it. Motherboards that support SLI come with it in case you do choose to SLI but since you aren't doing that, you don't need the cable. Of course, it's a good idea to save it in case you ever do need it.

Yah its a SLI bridge, I completely forgot what the word was while making this topic so I just used the word cable. Do I need it at all if I only have one graphics card?
 


You don't need it, but you should hold onto it for any future needs.
