Hello! My r9 280 has just arrived, so i put it on my MB and now i want to power it, the card requires a 8pin and a 6pin......i hane an xfx 850W single rail psu which has a 6/8pin+6/8pin cable (bridged) and i wonder if i have to use a second 6/8pin cable coming straight from the psu to connect my gpu instead of using just one cable.....

Does anyone have an idea?

What should i do?

 

Thanks.

You can just use the one 8+6 pin cable, that's why it is made the way it is. To only have to use one cable.
