The problem being that the power supply might need to be changed depending on the power connectors required. I found that out the hard way when I upgraded to my 960.

Correct, many generic PSU's now a days don't have native plugs for a 4x2 * 2 for a single GPU - let alone the umph to really push the wattage if ever required. Best to get PSU's above the 125$USD mark at minimum.

Luckily, on my GTX980 card, my PSU was already good to go for it. 850watts works out nicely, and making sure the machines PSU still has the wiggle room for good power flow allocation.

Derrrr, just saw this reply!

GTX1060 is a great card. Very very powerful. At times, i wish i didn't buy the 980GTX and waited for the 1000 series. [cry]

What is the cable used between the gpu and monitor? HDMI, DVI, VGA cable?

Looks like a similar situation to what I get half of the time when I update my GFX drivers (although with Radeon drivers in my case). It can end up changing the default device from Speakers to Digital Output for some reason, drives me nuts. [wacky]

In my case I have to load up the Realtek HD Audio Manager (Software provided with motherboard) to change the default audio device back and maybe even reset the speaker cable order in some cases. I wouldn't be surprised if you're facing something along these lines.

Could you explain more detailed where to go in Windows?

In my case it can be accessed via the Control Panel:

As I said previously this is software provided by my motherboard provider. It's not installed on Windows by default.

Updating my GFX driver occasionally flicks it to one of the Digital options despite this layout being set as default. This tends to break the sound meaning I have to change it back and occasionally tell it which speakers are plugged into which port. It's a foible I've grown to love when updating my GFX drivers, I believe it's something to do with the 3D Audio effects in the Crimson drivers. [weird]

Not sure if it's similar in the case of Nvidia drivers but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
