Hello there; a thing I just notice as I was plugging in my second Gigabyte Windforce GTX 770 is that the older card (by about a year give or take) has 7 pins for the power via PCI-E, whereas the newer GTX 770 has 8 pins via PCI-E.
Does anyone have any idea why this change was made to the same model, later revision, of this card?
Would it affect which is my primary card (i.e. to which the HDMI cable is connected?). I had planned to leave my older card in the top PCI-E slot and have the HDMI cable connected there, but wonder whether I should switch them around if the newer card somehow has more power capacity.
Thanks.
