I'm still deciding between some graphics cards and I'm mostly comparing them with the Asus one. Unfortunately this card only has one 8-pin connector and I don't know if this should be a problem to performance while gaming.
My question is, should this be a problem for the graphics card's power consumption? And would it affect performance, like I already explained?

Also, another question if you would like to answer, could this single 8-pin power connector affect cable management and include cable connection incompatibilities (requiring and adapter of some kind)
 


But what about power consumption? Will it have enough power to run the graphics card?
