Bit of a dumb question here but I've been asking myself this lately since I've always had lower power draw cards up until now.


Its the MSI Twin Frozr OC GTX 770 GPU and just a EVGA 750W 80+ Bronze PSU.


The MSI 770 requires two 8 pin power connections anyways. I just want to make sure I'm not going to burn out my psu for one cable and not get decent performance (since everytime I try to overclock it fights me)







EDIT: Didn't clarify myself. Yes I'm obviously going to plug in everything making sure the GPU is powered. just most cables have daisy chain so you can power a gpu with one cable. Is using TWO seperate cables instead of a daisy chained cable better?

If you have two 8 pin connectors or what ver Configuration of connectors, they al have to be plugged in to get the necessary poweer to your card.
