I’ve tried looking for the answer for a while but to no avail. As the title says, how do 6+2 cables work? Do they output less power than a dedicated 8 pin cable?
Yes. That is what they are intended to do.My PSU is the 850W EPA Bronze PSU Air Cooled Chassis.
I am trying to power a EVGA 2060 Super SC Black.
Would using all 8 pins on the 6+2 work fine?
It depends. If you use 6 pins then they are lower power. If you use all 8 then they are the same.I’ve tried looking for the answer for a while but to no avail. As the title says, how do 6+2 cables work? Do they output less power than a dedicated 8 pin cable?

My PSU is the 850W EPA Bronze PSU Air Cooled Chassis.Need context.
What PSU? What graphics card?
On a high level: There's two additional grounds. One of them tells the graphics card that an 8-pin is installed instead of just a 6-pin. Theoretically, 6-pin can deliver 75W while 8-pin can deliver 150W.
