Gigabytes normal rx 580 model power consumption

[grchris18]

Hello, Im about to buy an rx 580 and i was wondering if 1 6pin connector is able to power the card, or 1 4 pin

Most RX 580s require a single 6pin or single 8pin. I don't know what gigabytes "normal" RX580 is, just post the model.

No GPU takes a 4pin for power. A 4pin or 4+4pin on a PSU is usually for CPU power, it plugs into the motherboard.

So if i connected a 6 pin to that card i could run games like battlefield 1 , rainbow six siege, far cry 5 without the PC restarting because the Card doesnt have enough power?

No that card requires an 8pin or a 6+2pin pcie power connector. The card wont work at all without it, the system wont even boot.
