I am building my new system and i have a Point of view 8800gtx and an OCZ 850 watt power supply. It has two PCI-E power cables and my 8800GTX has two power sockets. Do I need to plug both them in or is one of the cables for running an SLi set-up? If its for SLi why are there two sockets on the card and which one do I use? The manual is a piece of shit, it looks like they print the same manual for all their cards and it doesn't mention anything about the two power sockets. Please help.
