Would it be best to use three separate pcie cables or use a 3 way splitter? Does it even matter? Would there still be equal power delivery with either option?
 
Would there still be equal power delivery with either option?
7900 XTX is 355W GPU. PCI-E 8-pin power cable is rated for 150W. You WILL melt the PCI-E 8-pin power cable if you split it 3-way at the end, just to populate all 3x 8-pin PCI-E connectors on GPU. That, and no PSU is able to deliver all 355W through single PCI-E 8-pin cable.

Use three dedicated power cables to power the GPU.
