gpu power cables problem

[Giannisgt]

hello. I want to upgrade my graphics card but there is a problem...
my psu has 2x 4pins and 1x 6 pins cables. the 1x 4 pin cable is used from the motherboard, so i have only the 6 and the 4 pin cables. The new gpu i am looking for requires the classic 6 & 8 pin to be powered. My current old gpu doesnt require power.
So.. will it work if use an 4 to 8 pin adapter and the 6 pin that i already have?

thanks in advance

Which Power Supply you have? If your new GPU requires one 6-pin and one 8-pin connector then i fear your Power Supply wont be able to power it.

Your PSU is of poor quality and may cause your GPU to get damaged. I recommend buying a new power supply of good quality like Seasonic S12II 750W.
Also can you tell which GPU you are getting?

gtx 760

Yes you will require a newer PSU then if you have already bought it.
If you are just planning to buy and haven't already bought it then you should rather go for a GTX 960 which will work in your PC with your current PSU also.
