Im looking to by this product but I can't figure out if i need 6 or 8 pins to power it up. Here is the link to the GPU on Newegg https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126172&cm_re=gtx_1050_ti-_-14-126-172-_-Product any help would be much appreciated.

It Gets its power through the card slot, No external power connection needed.

My Build: Water Cooling NZXT Phantom 530

PCIe slot is rated to provide up to 75W which is enough for some low end GPUs

Are their any advantages or disadvantages for only using the PCIe slot for power?
