Nope. 1 8 Pin is 150W max, and A770 is a rated 225W card.

@SorryClaireyes but my pcie cable had 2 8pin connectors on it and it says that by default card is set to 190w with OC up 300w i wont be overclocking

You can always undervolt it to lower the power consumption, but do it properly because many tutorials show how to underclock it instead of an undervolt

Oh its those daisy chained ones huh? Whats the PSU? Its more doable that way but still suboptimal if its a modular PSU.

Good luck doing it before Arc UI rework.

@SorryClaire it's a thermaltake 600w smart series unfortunately it's not modular on the positive I found another 8pin pcie cable tucked in where the previous owner did cable management so I'll just use 2 pcie to be safe thank you for the help
