I have evga 1000G. This PSU comes stock with 2 cables that work for 1080ti. I tdp around 70% on 1080ti already tested. They stay around 170Wx4 = ~680w plus the rest goes up to around 800w from the wall. This fits in the 80% push for the PSU which I think it's healthy.
I would have gone with evga 1600w PSU but they are ridiculously out of stock and didn't want to wait. As soon as the bigger psu comes in stock I am ordering it and I'll make another 4 or 5x 1070s rig with the 1000w PSU.
So you mean you have a couple of 8+8 pin cables?
I do have extra 8 + 8 pin cables. I do. Am I being terrible noobish right now? Is there a "trick" that is right in front of my eyes but just don't see it ? If I plug it in with a second 8 pin cable and use the 6 pin at the end, windows won't see the GPU. It's in device manager with the yellow warning sign. As soon as I put the right cable (8 pin to dual 8 pin (6+2)), it is recognized.
No, I'm just very surprised as all my cables are 8+6 (6+2 + 6) maximum and I've been buying big EVGA PSUs for years now. Even bought some extra cables from them directly but they didn't have 8+8, only 8+6.
