My problem is that I don't thing I powered my card the right way and its not getting enough power. basically I just use a single cord that comes from power supply to the video card, and it has enough pins to connect to the 6 and 8 pin ...should I use separate line for the 6 and 8 pin?
when I play star citizen , about 10 to 20 minutes in it freezes, sometimes it comes back and sometimes not .

Corsair 1000i
i7 6700k
32GB Corsair dominator DDR4
Evga GTX 980 Ti SC+
Gigabyte z170 gaming 7 motherboard
two 1tb ssds
Thermaltake RG 3.0 340mm liquid cooling cpu
Cooler Master HAF_X case plenty of ventilation
4 200mm fans
its more then enough to play star citizen

I don't think that's an issue. As long as you have the correct pins and the two cables plugged in, I don't believe them being on the same line is an issue.

I'm not quite sure if I follow what you have connected currently, but I am assuming the card takes a 6 and an 8 pin connection. I know my really old 560ti's do. I have an 8 pin and a 6 pin into each card (so four cables total for the two cards). I assume a 980ti also takes a cable to the 6 pin and a cable to the 8 pin, otherwise you have a plugin for the card with nothing going to it.

its a 6 and a 8 pin, basically I only have one power cord going to both , runs extremely well with other games. star citizen demands a lot graphic. maybe its nothing.
