[SOLVED] How many 8 pins for 4070 Ti

[test_123]

As I understand it, the 4090 needs 4 8 pins and the 4080 needs 3 8 pins to connect to the 12 pin adapter. Is it reasonable to assume the 4070 Ti will only need two 8 pins? It is expected to be 285W. Thank you.

Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti draws power from 1x 12-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 285 W maximum.

I think the max per cable is 150 so its likely it is 2 8 pins

Is the whole adapter thing that big of an issue? How on Earth do use a cable adapter wrong? I'm referring to Nvidia response to early fires with the adapter

I don't know, I chose the easy option and bought an AMD gpu this time around, I figure give them time to actually make a cable that is idiot proof enough to not cause fires if put in the wrong way.
