Is it worth buying a new PCIe 5 PSU or just buy an adaptor cable?

[Hi P]

Let's say that wattage wasn't an issue and I were to buy one of those RTX 4000

 

1. Would an adaptor cable do the trick to power it up?
2. Are there any real advantages of native PCIe 5 PSUs?

Yeah Cable clutter, Knowing not having to tighten 4 adapter connectors or 3 if you have the low power ones. Cable management becomes real easy with just one cable. Plus you know it is guaranteed to work as its been tested, at least with the first few psus since they are 850w-1000W anyways. 

 

Adapters Obviously work, you really do need a good quality PSU though, dont put your expensive GPU on a crappy PSU, there is little point in doing so to save a buck when you just spent 1000$+ on it.

I wouldn't. It would just reduce GPU budget, which you probably gonna need buying 4000 series.
