I bought EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2, 80+ GOLD 650W, Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode It has VGA1 and VGA2 on the PSU

And I bought two evga 1070 FTW, but only now I figured out that 1070 ftws need two 8pins for each.

Do I need to:
Option A: VGA1 8pin (from psu ONE CABLE) to 8pin+8pin (Y-Splitter) cable to First GPU. VGA2 split to 8+8 to second GPU - Will this be able to power the cards?
Option B: VGA1+VGA2 = two 8pin cables going to each 8pin slot on ONE card. But I can't power the second gpu then 🙁

''Two available 8-pin or 6+2pin PCI-E power dongles''

Ahh I see the question now. I believe it would be the vga 1 and it’s split cables for just one card and vga 2 and it’s cables for the other. Although in reality, power is power and you can choose, but I find it a tad more efficient.




That doesn't really answer my question. EVGA 1070 FTW has 8pin + 8pin on it.
