PCI Express power splitter cable (8-pin to dual 8-pin or 6-pin) lets you connect a single (standard) 8-pin PCI Express power connection provided by the computer power supply to two nVidia SLI or ATI CrossfireX video cards that require a 6-pin power connection.
A cost-saving solution, this PCIe 8-pin to dual 8-pin or 6-pin power cable eliminates the expense of upgrading a computer power supply for the sake of compatibility with dual video card systems.
