Hello, I recently ordered a 5070TI and idk which of these cables I need to use for it.

Atm I have a 1080 FE, and I noticed that the new one has a different connector. I still didn't plug out the 1080 so idk which PSU cable is used atm, is this the correct one?

I believe rm850x is Corsair type 4, in which case you will need to purchase this cable
