Single 4 pin pci express to dual 6 pin, is it possible?

I've gotten a new graphics card of late that requires it to be plugged into the battery pack via the use of an 8 pin to dual 6 pins. My battery pack how ever only has a single 4 pin connecter left, i was wondering if there was some kind of adaptor that could allow me to use this graphics card.

Thanks for reading.

I believe you are referring to the power supply. There is no such thing as a 4-pin PCIe connector, that is likely supplemental power for your CPU. CPUs require a 4pin or 8pin connector.

Sounds like you need a new power supply.

What is the model of the power supply and the model of the video card you are trying to install?

The model of power supply is ATX 500 500W and the card i am trying to install is the asus directcu II OC geforce gtx 760.

Thanks for the quick response in the matter and for understanding what I meant despite my lack of information provided.

No name 500W supply will probably fail or catch on fire trying to run a GTX760. If you don't want to spend a lot, get something like a Corsair CX500m or CX600m.

Ideally you would get something like an XFX550W.
