HI I just wanted to install this graphic card but having a problem:-
On the graphic card there is a 6-pin PCI-E socket & an 8-pin PCI-E socket.
In the package there is a 6-pin PCI-E to twin Molex power cable & an 8-pin PCI-E to 6-pin PCI-E power cable.
It seems to need both sockets connected.
What exactly do I connect to what?
There seems to be something missing.

Make sure that your power supply has one 8 pin and one 6 pin. Just connect them to the Gtx 760. I think that the cables you got are just extenders. But I dont know - I dont have that graphics card :<

Thanks for your prompt reply. :)
The PSU doesn't seem to have either of the cables, although according to its original spec it should have.
It had to go back for repair once so they may have replaced the PSU with a cheaper one.
I guess that means I need a new PSU...
Thanks again!

Sorry to hear that :< Make sure you get a PSU that is enough for the GTX 760. Get at least a 500 watt PSU with some extra pins :)
