Hello,
I recently bought a gigabyte gtx 1070 g1 gaming. Previously had a gigabyte gtx 670 windoforce.
When installing the 1070, it only had one 8 port power cord. The 670 had a 6 and 8. I took the 8 pin that was in the 670 and plugged it in. It turned on fine but had a few screen stutters.
Because of the slight freezing/stuttering, I decided to check out the power cord and noticed it had 6 wires going into the 8 pin adapter.
It's been a while since I built my PC and I don't remember if that was normal. I believe I read the two ports missing were just ground wires but im not sure...
The power supply is at least 700 watts from memory, but I can get the model number when I return home.
Thanks!
