gtx 760 ti connector help

[schau314]

This is a prety nooby question but my graphics card has two slots for the power supply. One has 6 pins and the other 8. I have installed one six pin connector but wonder if i should plug in the 2 dangling pins on the other piece.

Yes. Also, it's just GTX 760, there is no Ti variant, unless you meant a 660Ti.

No it is the 760 ti. It is a real thing. It is a copy of the 670 with a rebranded name. It has one 6 pin slot and another 8 pin slot. I have connected one slot with just 6 and the other has 6 and 2 dangling. Should i plug in the two dangling pieces, under specifications it has 2 six pins.

Do you think it would be different than the 670.

Where did you get it from? It is only supposed to have two six pins but it may be overclocked and need more power like some of the regular 760's from asus, EVGA etc which have a six and an eight pin.

There are two OEM 760's this time, One is the 760Ti and the other is a 192 bit memory bus 760.

I'm starting to think its a normal 760. Im going to check the specs. It says 760 but the guy told me it was a 760 ti but to be honest at 160 it is a fair deal for either.

Ya if you can figure out exactly which card that will tell you a lot about it. A 760 and 760Ti are nearly identical. Just make sure it isn't the 192 bit version if it is OEM that one is slower. $160 is a steal though.

It is the 256 bit version. I checked nvidias web site and it has the same cuda core as the 760 so im not too sure. I checked under geforce experience and it says 760 so im pretty sure i got a better deal than expected.

Sounds like you did good then. The 760 is a solid card. Happy gaming!

I forgot they still made these just like the OEM 660 Ti I once helped a friend install. The 760 Ti is just a 670 (1344 cores and 256-bit bus), the 760 OEM is the same as the 660 Ti OEM (same 1152 cores and cut-down 192-bit bus).

The guy misspoke. He had a 660 ti and sold it then posted a gtx 760 for sale. He said ti because he got both confused, but still 160 for an evga gtx 760 with acx cooling is pretty nice.
