Is it safe to use this cable on a GPU?

Hi

If the psu does not have correct PCI-e. Cables then it is probably not a good idea to bodge the job using the adapter
The 8 pin PCI-e can draw 150 watts of 12 volts at about 13 amps

What graphics card ?
What make & model psu?

Note 6 pin PCI a-e supports 12 volts 75 watts which is half power supplied by 8 pin plug
