Hey all,

my old graphics card (Asus Duel Evo RTX 2080 Super OC) used a 6+8 pin design, however the new one I am purchasing (Zotac Twin Edge RTX 3070) uses an 8+8 pin design and my power supply comes with 4x 6+2 pcie power cables and I am just wondering how I would power the new graphics card.

regards,
michele.

Just confirming, do I use two of my 6 + 2 cables plugged in to the card, and have them both plugged into the PSU separately?
