Can my PSU be compatible with GPU

[Songhoul]

hi i bought a MSI GTX 1060 6gb gaming it uses a 8pin power connector, but my psu does not have it. am i able to use a 6pin to 8pin adapter?

here is my old PSU: Ultra LSP Series V2 550-Watt Power Supply - ATX, 6x SATA, 2x PCI-E, 20/24 PIN,Thermal Controlled 135mm fan, Single +12V Rail, Short Circuit, Over-Voltage and Thermal Protection,

If you have a 6-pin cable it should have an extra 2 pins attached with it that will make it an 8-pin cable. If not the 6-pin to 8-pin adapter will work though it isn't ideal.

The Ultra is a low quality power supply , I would upgrade , adapters are a bad idea.

hey dude i was doing some research it says as long as you have a 2x 6pin the adapter to 8pin should be fine. my old gpu was a PNY NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 OC 2GB i had to use 2x 6pin so i hope this work what do you think

2 - 6 pins to eight pin will work , but not ideal to run the card.
