Hiya.
I currently have a rog strix 3070ti and it has 3 PCI-e ports on the top of the card (three 8Pin). However I have noticed my PSU only has 2 slots for PCI-e cables on the actual PSU, as in two 8 pin. It is an NZXT 750 C series that I bought around 6 months ago.
For the moment, my card is hooked up with a cable that's daisy chained and it looks quite ugly to be honest. Do I need to aquire another PSU so I can run 3 seperate PCI-e cables from the PSU to the card? Is there any kind of performance or power hit or advantage to doing this?
Many thanks for your help!

As a side not while typing this, could this have something to do with the constant VGA LED that's constantly illuminated on my z390 motherboard? ...seems coincidental that I've only noticed this light after installing the 3070.
Anyway, thanks again!
