So, I just purchased a GIGABYTE Radeon 9070XT GPU, and I thought the PSU I had was fine (be quiet! Pure Power 12M 750w) since it covered the power demands of the system with room to spare. Now I find out that there is only 2 PCI-E 8 pin connections on the PSU, and the GPU requires 3. The store I bought the PSU from isn't letting me return it even though it's still sealed, so I'm short on cash. Is there a way to make this PSU work with the GPU or do I need to wait until I can buy the 850w upgrade?

the psu doesnt have 2 cables with 2 connectors on each?

I'm not sure, I haven't opened the package yet, pcpartpicker picked up the compatibility issue

That’s very uncommon for a 750w. I don’t know why they would do that

It may be that they removed one of the PCIE 8 pin slots for the 12v high power connector

Maybe. Should just have both

Would it work if there are the split cables spendingplum mentioned?
