If you have the same number of pins on the graphic card and it fits, yes you can use it. Also check if you have enough wattage and efficiency on your psu.

I know i have enough wattage because i have a 650 watt and my graphics card only has 6 pins on it so its okay to hook up the 8 pin split into 6 and 2 pin

If your wire/cable has the ability to split from 8 to 6, yes.
