pcie cable problems

[yaymanplaysgames]

I have a gtx 1080 ti which requires 2 8 pin pcie cables. The problem is I have a 1500 watt psu with only 6 pin connectors. What kind of cable do I get for this situation? Or do I need a new psu?

Something like https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Express-Power-Adapter-PCIEX68ADAP/dp/B001TK3TJY

No you see that is a converter I need a base cable like that that connects to the psu directly because I don't have ANY Cables.

What are you using all your PCI cables for? Any decent PSU will have a few 6 pin.

What is model of PSU?

May be not set up to power two 8-pin adequately.

Well i sold all my old graphics cards and i just happened to give away my old cables with em like an idiot. so i dont have any cables which is the long and short of it. (btw the card has 8 pin connectors so yeah)

1,500 watts, yes. Yes, but are you sure it is set up to send proper amount to the PCIe connectors.
