I'm trying to install 3 1080 ti's into a Dell Poweredge  T630. The PSU has 8 6 pin connectors 4 of which have the additional 2 pins. I can put the adapters on that came with the cards, 2x6pin -> 8pin, but that only allows me to install 2 cards. Is there a configuration that is possible with this PSU? Say, one 8pin and 1 6pin in each card? Like the attached image.
 
 
 
Thank you for any help you can provide.

    So you have two 1100 watt psu's? If yes, you'll just need to purchase some more dual 6-pin to 8-pin adapters.

    Well, no, they are for redundancy, hot swap, so they don't have cables themselves. Just forget I said dual :-)

    You'll need a bigger psu than a 1100w if you're going to be powering all the cards and the system.

    250+250+250=750 watts. 350 watts remaining?

    The FTW3 can use anywhere from 285 watts to 330 watts.

    If you're using them for mining you probably want to reduce the power limit anyway. There are also 6 to 8 pin adaptors that you can buy but don't use both on a single card.
