Solution
Multiple rails only related to amps that are divided among them, the amount of cable you'll get depends upon the particular PSU,wattage.
You don't have to buy a GPU that has any specific number of pci slot, it depends on PSU,weather the PSU has all the cables required for the GPU or not.

If your GPU has 6+2 pci slots, you'll need one 6 pin and one 2 pin cable and connect it, just as you have done it before. All PSU has same method.

THANK YO MY bro !

That mean it ie is clear that , if the 12v rail is divided by 10.20 or 100 there wont be no effect on wire ! All happen inside psu itself ! Nothin is related with wires ,thx alot !
