Hi,
I am so dissapoint.
Just get my 1080 ti of aurus.

MY PC:
MB: P8 H77V LE
POWER: 600W seasonic SS600-et
CPU: I7 3770
GPU: 1080 ti AURUS xtereme edition

I play only 1080P and VR games.

The problem:
Very low gpu, First connections bring black screen with "connect GPU with power connectors"
The problem is that i have only 1 8 pins and 1 6 pins cable on the psu.
I just connect 1*(6+2) and 2 molex to one 8 pins.

The overall gaming is increadiblly low.
I mean low FPS, For example i get about 60-70 FPS on ultra setting 1080P on far cry primal benchmark. as i see in the youtube most much lower end gpu get there about twice.

The question is:
1. Is i made a mistake and now i should buy new processor and psu?
2. Is the problem probably comes from PSU?
3. Any bottlenecks (I mean many fps not about 10) to expect?

PLEASE HELP ME :(

Actually came across one review of this that says it has a 6-pin PCIE and a 6+2 pin PCIE.

So I'm assuming that OP including mentions of an 8-pin are just mentions now and he's using a 6+2pin and a 6-pin to two molex to connect. I'd rather like the OP to clarify this - given that the GPU is directly detecting a problem with the power connection, something on that end seems a problem that needs to solved *way* before we talk about benchmark performance.

OP: So do you have:

A. An 8-pin PCIE connector, a 6+2 pin PCIE connector, and a 6-pin PCIE connector
B. A 6+2 pin PCIE connector and a 6-pin PCIE...

I'm confused, why are you converting a 6+2 to an 8-pin when a 6+2 works just fine as an 8-pin normally?

You don't understand.
This card need 2 X 8 PINS of pci
MY PSU didn't have it.
I have one 6 pin and one 6+2 pin
So i connected 1 of the 8 pin pcies and one 8 pin with 2 molex

The games run very slow while the cpu don't cross 70% load.

One 8-pin PCIE and one 6+2 pin PCIE. This PSU comes with an 8-pin PCIE, a 6+2 pin PCIE, and a 6-pin PCIE. You use the first two and no molex.

Wait, how do you know how many PCIe cables the PSU has?

"I have one 6 pin and one 6+2 pin So i connected 1 of the 8 pin pcies and one 8 pin with 2 molex"
"The problem is that i have only 1 8 pins and 1 6 pins cable on the psu. I just connect 1*(6+2) and 2 molex to one 8 pins."

I'm assuming this is what he has from his report of what he says, which seems necessary as strangely none of the remaining places that sell this PSU or even Seasonic even list what connectors the GPU said. Only him and PCPartPicker (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WTwqqs/seasonic-power-supply-ss600et)

OP, can you *exactly* describe your PCIE cables? Your explanation is extremely difficult to parse.

Why did you buy this PSU? Even if it's Seasonic, it seems like it's not a good buy, as it is not even branded and it's $90.
Looks like it's a bad PSU, it has two revies onNewEgg and they're both negative. One says it arrived dead and the other says it doesn't allow computer to come out of sleep mode, have to hard restart everytime.
Seems like it's an OEM model they sell to someone.
PCPP says: 1x8pin, 1x6+2pin, 1x6pin

1. OK so you thing the underpreform of the graphic card i just bought can be becouse of the psu?
I get low FPS in all games when compare the results of youtubers comparations.
Or it's also a problem of CPU?
I am target 120+ FPS on ULTRA and only on 1080P

2.Any suggestions for good modular not so expensive card to handle it?

B. A 6+2 pin PCIE connector and a 6-pin PCIE connector
C. Something different

If it's A, then you shouldn't be using molex. If it's B, I'm inclined to think you should swap out the PSU given that you're getting an error message to do with the power connection.
