Hello I have a question about the 980 ti G1... I have one ordered and just wondering if my current PSU will be able to handle the 980ti G1. The PSU i have is Enermax EIN720AWT.

I only see 1 x 6+2pin, but I need 2 for the GPU, is there anything I can do or do I have to buy a new PSU?

would i put the adapter in one of the red socket on the psu? sorry if this is noob question.

and is it better to just get a new psu with the proper two 8pin cable?

just got the 980ti G1. it came with a two 6pin to one 8pin adapter... i was wondering do i need to plug two 6pin into that to equal one of the 8pin? or can i just plug in one 6pin to the adapter?

the adapter cable provided is two female 6pin to one male 8pin... do i need to plug both female 6pin to power the one 8pin or is one 6pin enough with the other empty just hanging in my tower?
