If I decided to go with two GTX 980s in SLI in my PC would I need to hook up power cables to the second one?

You probably shouldn't be messing around inside your alienware.

Yes.

It's not going to power itself.

There's a reason those power cables are 100x as thick as the SLI cable.

Of course. Power is not passed on through the SLI bridge if that's what you're thinking. Source: That is my exact setup

You don't need to plug in any power cables.

Nowadays motherboards power the GPU through the PCI e slot.

this.

OP do not listen to the trolls.
You don't need to add the power cable on the other 980 or you risk to melt the board.

Is a 750w PSU enough to run 2 980s?

Probably, but it will not work unless the power supply has the cables for the cards you choose. (How many 6 / 8 pins, etc)

Wow OP don't listen to these posers. That's why nvidia gives you a SLI cable. AMD cards you need to power individually but nvidia you just power one.

Nvidia is notorious for using more power than specified. 980s are meant to use 250W but they actually use closer to 400, so you would need at least a 1000W PSU.

What the actual fuck are you talking about? As much as I hate NVIDIA even I know that you'll a little full of shit. 980's use around 200-220W roughly over their specified 165W. You can run SLI on a 750W easily.

Hey nigger, those video card videos you've seen on your twink gayboy Linux's videos entail the whole system power consumption, not only the GPU.

Why would you want to SLI 980 on 1080p it's an overkill and unnecessary. a single 980 is more than enough.
