Question Can i use 2x 6pins for Rx 570 8 GB 256 bit Sapphire Nitro+ Premium?

[fidzxy]

Hi, i'm on my way to buy RX 570 8GB sapphire nitro+ and since i have a pretty old PC, i only got 2x 6 pins for GPU. Problem i see is that the GPU has 1x 6pin plug in, and 1x 8pin plug in. Reason im asking is, is it possible and OR okay to use 2x 6 pins for GPU to work properly? There’d still be 2 pins left for the GPU. Will that worsen the performance of GPU? Id need a fast response, thanks.

It won't turn on unless you plug in the required connectors.

If your PSU doesn't have enough plugs for it, then it isn't really good enough to run the card.

If all you have on your PSU is 2x 6-pin cables then your only safe configurations are 1x or 2x 6-pin or 1x 8-pin with an adapter connecting your two 6-pin into a single 8-pin.

No.
Plan on also buying a quality proper psu while you are at the store.
Adapters are dangerous.
If a psu were capable of powering 8 pin devices, it would have those leads.

Similarly, if a graphics card will run properly with lesser power connections, it would have been built that way.
