I am looking at purchasing an EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Classified ACX 2.0+ Graphics Card (06G-P4-4998-KR). I see on the website it shows that this GPU requires (2) 8-Pin connectors. I currently have an EVGA SuperNOVA (220-P2-0850-X1) 850W which is more than enough power for this card. Looking through the cables that I have, I believe the ones that are labeled "VGA" are as follows:
 
PSU Side: 8-Pin plug modular
GPU Side: dual connectors (1) 6 Pin & (1) 6+2 Pin
 
What is the best suggested method to hooking this card up with a combination of what is available? Do I have to run (2) separate cables from my PSU to this card? Or does EVGA make a cable that does the following:
 
PSU Side: 8-Pin plug modular
GPU Side: dual connectors (2) 6+2 Pin
 
I really appreciate the help on this one. Thanks!

I'd recommend 2 of the single 6+2 cables; you should have 2 with just one connector and 2 cables with a 6+2 and a 6.

Just to clarify, I would be running (2) separate cables from the PSU correct? Thanks :)

That's correct; you'll have to run 2 cables.
