Adapters are a bad idea when it comes to running nice cards.

It is highly advised against using adapter for PCIe as there almost never is a story where it ends happily. You need the 8 pin. I would suggest looking into a new PSU if your wanting to use that PSU however looking up that model it looks like it is a very specific PSU so that might be hard to even find a compatible PSU.

If your PSU has only 2 6-pin cables, then you cannot use this with your existing power supply.

If you have MORE than 2 of them, then a 2-6pin-to-single-8-pin adapter would be fine for the 8-pin connection, and then a third 6-pin for the 6-pin connection.

Otherwise, no. Also, kind of strange that such a powerful PSU has such minimal PCIe connectors.

what should I do I cant upgrade dont have the money to do so please can you offer a better solution?

I thought that Dell had an 875w PSU with these specs:

Connections: 1x 24 Pin
2x 8 Pin
2x 6 Pin
1x Floppy
1x Molex
5x Sata Power

this graphic card only needs a single 8 pin which means two dual 6 pins to a 8 pin will be fine?

Yes. The Graphics card MAY come with the adapter for it, but may not.

But dual-6-pin into a single 8 pin is fine.

Though, recheck the available connectors carefully, given what SR-71 has said about the connectors that SHOULD be available.

no it has 2 six pins

875w with only 2 - 6 pins .not very good quality.

What model is it?

Is a Dell Precision T5500. The PSU is designed for multiple CPUs and Quadro grade cards, not really gaming grade cards. Most Quadros it came with only needed the 6 pin PCIe connections so Dell being Dell they designed the PSU to only have what was needed with no thoughts of future upgrades beyond it.

I know that , but at one point the PSU that was included had the above specs that I posted. Wasn't sure if he missed it or had the the older or newer model.
