I currently am using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti video card in my computer. Because of an incredible amount of luck, I won in the NVIDIA E3 GameReady contest and am now the proud owner of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition video card that should arrive any day now.
I know that my power supply is strong enough, but what I am worried about is if it has the correct power connectors I will need. My 660 uses two 6-pin but the 1080 uses one 6-pin and one 8-pin.
The PSU I have in my system is: CORSAIR HX series HX650 650W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply.
Also want to check to see if it will work in this motherboard:
My Motherboard is an ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS.
Is there anything else I need to think about if I want to swap these cards?
Thanks so much for all your advice.
