Hey everybody, 

I am building a new computer in a few days and I purchased a zotac 3070ti on ebay. I curentley have a 3060 which just requires a 8 pin power connector. I believe the Zotac 3070ti requires a 12 pin connector and I was just wondering what cables I need to use from the power supply. I got cable extensions and so can I just run 2 cables from the power supply to my extensions and then use like 1 and a half of the extensions to power the card. 

thankyou

The 12pin connector is a 40 series specific connector, the 3070ti will likely require either 2x 8pin pcie cables or 3x 8pin pcie cables. Can you link the listing for the one you purchased so we can let you know for sure?
