What cables do I use to connect a gtx 1070ti to the PSU?

Hi, I bought a gtx 1070ti but I am not sure which cables to plug it in with, my power supply came with a bunch of cables but I dont know which one, if someone could provide a picture or a explanation it would be greatly appreaciated 😀

You'll need a 6 pin and and an 8 pin power cord. But your PSU is the most important end to get right.

What PSU do you have? The cords will be marked PCI and will only fit in the right holes. You'll need to use 2 for that card unless the cord end is split into 2 plugs

I have a EVGA supernova 550 g2.
My PSU didn't come with any cables marked PCI. Uh oh

Then just try plugging in all the ones you have. If it's the wrong plug, it won't fit the socket.

I have cables that are labeled (VGA) but are too short to get from the gpu to the PSU. Some have a 6 pin at one end and a 8 pin at the other, but that won't work since it cant be connected to the PSU. There are a lot of different ones but none of which that seem to fit the GPU.

Unless you lost the cables, it has two labeled vga for the gpu. End with the vga marking plugs into psu, other end with 6+2 goes to gpu.

Ok, thanks, that helped.
I think I found the cable, it's labeled VGA at one end and it's a 6 pin connector, then at the other end it has a 6 pin connector then a split cable of a 2 pin connector and a 6 pin connnector. I put those 2 together and made the 8 pin.

However, now the cables just look really stupid, with all the branches and stuff and the cables going over each other. Well, whatever. As long as it works.
