GTX 770 - do I need 4 pci-e?

[fuzecx]

Hi all,

Can someone please confirm if a Silencer Mk III 600W PSU is able to power the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Classified?

The PSU has a total of 3 x pci-e cables (6 pin to 6+2 pin).
The graphics card has 2 ports (2 x 8 pin) to be powered but it also comes with 2 cables. Each cable has 2x6 pin to 8 pin.

I guess what i'm trying to ask is - do I require 4 pci-e (6 pin each) for this graphics card or is 2 sufficient provided they are both 6+2 pin.

Anyway... help lol.

2 x 6+2 is all you need

770 needs 2 8 pin? My 780 Gaming editions only need an 8 and a 6

It's the Classified version needs 2 x 8

I would not be dropping that much money on a 770... You can have a 290X for not much more an it'll batter that 770 to hell and back

He's asking the requirements for that card - not what card to get
