Hi, I was looking for a new GPU and some rx 580s have two power connectors (6+8). My PSU (thermaltake Berlin 630W) has 2x(2+6) pin connectors on the same cable. Is that ok for the GPU or two connectors means that It needs two different cables from the PSU?

no its ok

i am using 2 8 pins for my gpu from the same cable

I believe that it will need both connectors to turn on, both of them to even get the full power out of the card, unsure if it turns on or not without them.

The Thermaltake Berlin isn't very good and I would highly recommend you upgrade it.
