Hello!
I have gone team red and got myself the rx 9700 xt OC version. I have a SeaSonic GX 750W Gold PSU, which included 2x8 PCIe cables, both have daisy chains/pigtails on them. I have used these cables on my RTX 3080 with no issues. Rx 9700 xt has 3 x 8 PCIe connectors, what do I do? Can I daisy chain/pigtail one of the cables or do I need new cables or one additional cable as my 3rd cable? The issue here is that I cannot get them in my country for several weeks...
As far as I understand, both the 3080 and 9700xt have similar power draws, no? 9700xt even drawing little bit less than 3080
Edit: I have been reading left and right on forums, but everyone is divided between saying YES to daisy chaining and NO. However, technically if each cable gives 150w and rx 9700 xt needs 300w~ shouldnt I be ok with daisy chaining it?
