I just bought a PowerColor Radeo RX470 4GB card and noticed that it has an 8-pin power connector. I have two 6-pin power connectors so I was wondering if I could use a dual 6-pin to 8-pin connector to power the card? I've search around here and saw that you can't use a single 6-pin but was hoping that two would do that job.

btw, I have a Dell D160AM-02 power supply. Max power 460W

Some people might tell you to try it, it might work. I disagree. I don't see how someone can spend the money on a good videocard then cheap out and use the incorrect power supply.

You could buy a videocard that works with the power supply you have, or buy a power supply that works with the card.
