EVGA 850 GQ gpu pin help?

[psydox]

So I'm having trouble understanding how many gpu pins there are available on this PSU, I am going to be using it with a gtx 2070 that requires both a 8 pin and a 6 pin, is this psu compatible?

[Adorable Cat]

Yeah it'll be compatible. the 6+2 means the connectors will be 6 pins with a little 2 pin one that clips on the side to make it an 8 pin

14 pins total.

 

You just need an 8 pin and a 6 pin connector.

6+2 PCIe means it has a PCIe connector that can either be used as a 6 pin or an 8 pin (6+2=8).

It actually has that four times over. You could theoretically plug four RTX 2070s into your PSU.

 

That's not a good idea though, but a single 2070 will work very well.
