I went from a single power connector card (GTX1660) on my old system to a custom system with a 3070 card. - The new system was prebuilt, but with the graphics card left out, during postage, for obvious reasons. Even though it only drew a max of 225 watts, the instructions from the builder (Palicomp) insisted I must connect both power connectors.BaronVerde wrote: ↑Wed, 20.

my new graphics card has 2 pcie power connectors. The power supply comes with cables that have two serial plugs on the appliance end. Should I use one cable to the power supply or two (distribute load ?) ?
My old gtx 970 drained about the same power as the new 6700xt (a bit more than 300W max) but only had one connector.
Cheers
Far less than your 300 watts, but it does suggest both should be connected.
