NVIDIA is expected to have many large design changes over previous-gen graphics cards, and not just design changes over previous-gen GeForce graphics cards -- but an entire new power connector.
Folks, I'm telling you right now... this is a 1200 watt unit.

La GeForce RTX 2080 Ti est idéale pour profiter de tous les jeux récents à plus de 60 ips en 4K UHD avec tous les réglages au maximum. I connected a second PCIE cable, instead of using one, to my 2080 and all my issues went away. That's why my mining rigs are all running multi-rail when possible, even though they all have up to six video cards.

I’ll give two seperate cables a try tomorrow and see if I see a noticable difference. I don't feel like getting into it again. In this review, we are taking the fastest graphics card from NVIDIA, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition, and test it across PCI-Express 3.0 x16 (the most common configuration for single-GPU builds), PCI-Express 3.0 x8 (bandwidth comparable to PCI-Express 2.0 x16), PCI-Express 3.0 x4 (comparable to PCI-Express 2.0 x8), and for purely academic reasons, PCI-Express 2.0 x4 (what would happen if …

So you could put a stronger CPU and computer really turned off.

FPS gaming since the pre-Quake days, where you were insulted if you used a mouse to aim, he has been addicted to gaming and hardware ever since. They have too much current capacity. You are a lifesaver. Yes 2 cables is best, and 1 cable might be dangerous as this GPU draw a lot of power and risk melting your cables/ports.
