hi guys, bought a pny780ti pure performance but for some reason it doesn't seem to be recognised by windows, it powers up and fans and LEDs run, I've updated the bios and motherboard drivers but still nothing

could it be my power supply isn't pumping out enough power, it needs two 8 pin connectors but mine only has one, it came with splitters to convert 2 6 pin plugs to one 8 pin, but I only have 2 6 pin connectors so I bought 6 pin to 8 pin adaptors to power it up could that be the problem?

ok the prices for me are like bugged or something but i dont know you can make some exceptions or something so check this link http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1804779/power-... i would recommend you getting psu of Tier one-two and atleast 750w for good run for the card:)  and also check if its has enough pcie connectors etc..but those tier one and tier one are really good for gaming so i think they will have everything you need :)
