you need a new power supply with a 6-pin

What if we use 4 to 6 pin to use gfx .. will it run for atleast 2-3 month because i am on tight budget ..

you are asking to blow up everything using adapter cables with low tier power supplies


play russian roulette if you want to /shrug

I am on tight budget my psu says 30 amp max output on 12 volt rail is there any chance to run this gfx on this psu or i hardly need a psu .

Well your 4 pin cpu power header idea to a 6 pin is a terrible idea and I would not recommend it. Using adapters is always a bad idea and should never be used if it can be avoided.

Your psu is garbage and will most likely not be able to handle the extra power draw of the 260x anyways so you can either upgrade to a new good psu for around 40$ or spend 10$ in adapters that might not even work and fry your system.

Can i use connector and play for only 20-30 days ??

I will buy new one asap in 2-3 weeks

It only needs ~40w from the 6-pin, so a dual-molex to 6-pin should work fine. I've used 110w GPUs on 250w PSUs before and had them work. Another time I tried the same GPU on a 270w PSU and it blew up.

In fact every time I have damaged something with an underpowered PSU it has only been the GPU that died. So you are probably only risking the GPU to be able to use it for 2-3 weeks. But if it dies, how long will it take you to save up for another one and a PSU?
