So my question may get a little sidetracked but essentially I have a PSU with 2x 8-pin connectors that say (PCI Express Graphics 8P connectors) and (+12V2) and I would like to install a second EVGA 460 1GB GPU in SLI, which requires 2x 6pin PCI-e connectors.
From looking up a little it sounds like the 6-pins output up to 75w and the 8-pins up to 150w, so everything seems to make sense, but I'm not that knowledgeable.
Here is what I was going to buy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/321745526723?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82
I have relatively old gaming computer:
CPU: i5-750
GPU: GTX 460 1gb
MOBO: P7P55D-LE
I planned on getting another GTX 460 and an SLI cable to run them in SLI due to them being only <$50 now, delaying the inevitable upgrade of a new mobo, cpu and gpu.
Will this work? And what are your thoughts? Thanks.
