Will a 6 pin to 2x8 pin adapter work for the gpu

[theshadowverses]

My psu has only one 6 pin pcie port and my gpu requires 2 8 pins so if i get a 6 pin to 2x8pin adapter will that affect the gpu or make it run slower than if it were connected to the psu natively

No, don't even think about it.

You need to get a new quality PSU.

Will it really end badly?

Could range from burning up your computer to burning down your house.

Look at it this way: using an adapter on a PSU is like using the donut spare tire on your car. Yes, it will work, but not for long. It is meant to just get you to a place where you can fix the tire.

Plus the GPU needs 2X 8 Pin...

The PSU only has 1X 6 Pin.... It takes 2X 6 pin to make 1X 8 pin.

So it wouldn't work no matter what anyway.

Strong possibility of releasing the magic smoke, in various quantities.

Sure... it will work great.

.....if you are looking to burn your house down.
