So I've got round to upgrading my graphics card from a 2060 Super to a 4070 super.

Unfortunately when I've gone to install the new card I've realised that the 4070 needs a 12 pin power cable. It comes with an adaptor that splits from the 12 pin into two 8 pin cables. Problem is I only have one free 8 pin cable in my computer.

As far as I'm aware my PSU is powerful enough to run the card (EVGA 750 G2) so would I be good just buying another 8 pin cable and plug that in along with the other one? If that's the case would this cable be compatible?

Thank you in advance!

i would recommend always getting spare cables directly from the original manufacturer.

there's a chance that contacting them may even result in them sending you a spare free of charge, or possibly just shipping charge.
