Hello! I was wondering, is there any fps difference between gtx 960 with 6-pin connector and gtx 960 with 8-pin connector. Gtx 960 requires 120-130w but 6-pin can only transfer 75w. Is that 6-pin can transfer only 75w even true. But i have gtx 960 with 6-pin connector and getting lower fps than my friends gtx 960 what is connected with 8-pin.

Thank you for advice!

The PCIe slot on the motherboard also is rated for 75W. No the GPU won't be any faster with an 8-pin, clock rate is all that matters. And usually you can draw more current than these cables are rated for anyway.
