First time installing a GPU, will this be an easy install / plug and play? (Pictures inside)

Hello everyone and thank you for your time.

I am upgrading from a 980 Ti Hybrid (1x6 pin / 1x8 pin) to a 2080 Ti Hybrid (two 8 slot pins). Will I be able to simply remove the 980 Ti and put the 2080 Ti in without any problems? I figure I am just using the 6+2 pin into the left slot of the 2080 Ti while the 8 pin that is currently in the right slot of the 980 Ti goes to the right slot of the 2080 Ti.

I took pictures of the wiring from the GPU/PSU (1000W Seasonic Platinum).

Here is an IMGUR thread with pictures of the current GPU/PSU/Wiring. Let me know if you need any additional photos.

Download and install ddu

Boot in safe mode,

Run ddu to remove GPU drivers,

Shut down computer

Swap gpus

Boot back up and install GPU drivers

Enjoy

Yes that's correct. If I'm not mistaken, the Platinum PSU has four 6+2pin connectors, so assuming you've got those free, then yes it will be a simple plug and play whilst plugging in the additional PCIe power connector from the PSU.

Just as Supahos stated, use DDU to ensure that all previous GPU drivers are cleared.
