I've bought a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 570 4GB graphics card, but I'm wondering what is the best way to connect my power supply to it.
I have a 500W power supply (which is enough) with two 6pin connectors and I also have some molex connectors to spare.
The card has a 8pin connector and a 6pin connector and consumes 195W at the absolute max (according to the manufacturer).
I know the motherboard delivers 75W and a 6pin connector also delivers 75W. But my two 6pin connectors are on the same cable. Do those connectors each supply 75W or 75W in total?
Is a 6-to-8 pin adapter enough so I can connect a 6pin and an 8pin(through the connector)?
Or do I need a dual connector from two 6pins to one 8pin)? And is that enough then or do I also need to connect the 6pin through a dual molex connector?
What's my best configuration here?
