Hi there, I am currently using EVGA supernova 650 g+ and I am wondering if using 2 cables on gtx1080ti will cost me additional power consumption? I am currently using a split single cable right now

Thanks!

    Thank you for the reply, what I am concern about is: Does having 2 cables on my gtx1080 ti will add bills on my electricity?  Sorry I know this is a newbie question but yeah, thanks again!

    For most all PSUs power is on a single rail so it wont matter how you provide power. Consumption is the same.
