in windows, bottom left of you screen, click search, type "system information", this will give you a list of your components, take a screen shot and paste here... should look something like this (example only):

Thanks, this thing is a beast... my last card was a GTX 980, I paid $559.99 , over 10 years ago, lol, link = here slight upgrade... I want to try some PCVR games now with my quest 3, any recommendations? Could actually be any experience, not necessarily a game... one of my fav VR experiences...

yup, my wife found the box of cables in the back of the garage... using all 3 inputs now too...

finally got it all figured out and new card (RTX 5080) is running benchmarks nicely... thanks again to everyone! V

is this mostly a Corsair PSU issue? I'm wondering if I should avoid Corsair in the future...

wholly crap, I've searched high and low for this cable (Corsair, amazon, BestBuy, Newegg ...etc)... and no one has it. Damn I waited 7 months for the card to finally come down in price where I got it fairly close to MSRP and now I can't find the damn cable!! grrrr ... yeah, yeah, I know first...

good point, makes sense... thanks again...

hmm, interesting, I would think they would design the 2 cable setup to suit the cards per your above, One 8-pin input = 150W (These really don't exist, cards will just use a single 8-pin) Two 8-pin input = 300W (5070/5070Ti) These are probably a lot higher sales too, so I would think they...

what about in terms of smoking my card as mentioned above, do some suppliers switch around the pin configs, or are all/most of the cables held to the same standard and pin configuration?

great, out of stock... :(

nice summary Eximo, thank you very much... so, I'm assuming if it runs through 2 cables its pulling more current per cable, so a 2 cable setup running at 450W or 600W would need to have a higher gauge wire to handle the extra current, is this correct?

Hey COLGeek or anyone, Quick question, did you find something that specifically shows what Corsair or NVidia recommends for cables(s) for the RTX 5080? Looked through your above link and could not see any reference to the RTX 5080. also, google searching I could not find anywhere that had...

Noted, thanks... Will go your route... I owe you a beer... :cool:

I posted this same link above _D_D, anything specific you are pointing to? I couldn't find a 3x Type5 to 12VHPWR Cable...

just out of curiosity COLGeek, what are your thoughts on this cable? Link = here
