Thank you although the actual review is on the way.
As to why the card needs 8+8+6 PCIe power plugs is the 6-pin is like a PEG connector allowing the card to draw more power when heavy overclocking such as Ln2. AFAIK, the card at stock draws a bit more power due to its boost and factory overclock compared to a ref 980ti. This could be why such cards as the Lightning require a third connector and is required for the card to operate. I hope to cover this more in the actual review so keep an eye out.
