So I mixed up my computer power supply cable with my monitor cable.

They both fit and look almost exactly the same, How do I know which one is which?

They're both the same mate, or should be. If it's a mains wall plug on one end straight through to a 3 socket 'plug' that goes into the back of your PC or Monitor with no transformer or other 'boxes' in the way, you're good to go. Can you post pics of each end for safety to check?

Mine look like this

If you mean the cable that looks like this, it doesn't matter, just plug them in.

I ended up finding out, I played a game that used a lot of power and noticed there was a massive FPS drop when playing games.

The cable was starving my pc of the power I needed.

Hmm there's something very much amiss there! Are your cables same as we sent you pics of?
