Its fairly simple , there's some sleeved cables and to the end of them there's a writing called PCIe . Connect two of those to the GPU ( it will be 6+2 on each one , only connect the 6 on each one ) then the card will be powered just fine.

Thanks a friggin ton me and a friend had no idea how this PSU hooked up to a GPU and were using the adapters instead of realizing the PSU came with the connections we needed! Now I can confirm my GPU is running good!
