Hey guys.

I will receive my gtx 1080 ti FTW3 next week and I would like to know something about my psu cables.

I have Rosewill 750W Platinium psu, it has two pci-e cables with two 6+2 pin connectors on each one. Does that mean each cable can provide full power as if I used two seperate 6+2 cables.

Solution
In theory, that's how it should be. In practice, depends on PSU build and what wires were used on those cables. In case of quality PSU, both plugs on single cable can deliver full power.
