Current setup:
I ran a 980 GTX for months and the breaker didn't trip once. Upgraded to the 980Ti a few nights ago and the breaker has tripped several times. It's never with desktop/normal use but does trip when gaming. I've got a 20A breaker at the breaker box.
I only have a single PCI-e cable with two 6+2 connections that power the 980Ti. Could the single cable be overloaded? I've got a second PCI-e cable I could use, so that each connector on the 980Ti would each have a cable.
I don't think I'm pulling too much current, as other than the PC there is really nothing heavy on this circuit. Could be wrong, though.
Any ideas?

- Zotac 980Ti Extreme (high factory overclock)
- Corsiar CX750 750W PSU (62A on the 12v rail)
