gpu power requirement

[Sam11088]

can some one help me with this, can i use the 16 pin psu to 2 x 6+2 pin gpu connector to power a 2x8 pin gpu or is it used to power a 16 pin gpu like rtx 4080 from 2 x 8 pin from the psu,or should i use 2 x 8 pin to 8 pin psu to gpu connectors

The 16pin adapter is only for Nvidia 4000 series with 12VHPWR 

For all other cards use the 8pin or 6+2 directly

Yes, you can use it.

The rtx 4080 uses the 16 pin on the gpu side (top right picture). 

As I read it the left hand plugs on the pictures goes into the PSU. If it has the 6+2 pin PCIe plug on the GPU end you can use it. it doesn't matter what the plug on the PSU side looks like

so i can safely use a single 16 pin from psu to 2 x 6+2 pin gpu pin bottom pic highlighted wire for my rx 7800xt, i want to reduce the wire clutter as this wire is sleeved and looks neat

Yes. The extra 4-pin is basically there only for extreme overclocking of high-end cpu's
