I'm thinking of upgrading my graphics card. I currently have a VTX3D Radeon R9 390, which is powered buy 1x 8-pin PCIe and 1x 6-pin PCIe power cables from my Corsair 750W CS Series PSU. I am considering buying a Radeon 5700 XT but I notice the cards have different power connectors depending on the manufacturer and model. Some have the same as my current card, and some require 2x 8-pin PCIe power connectors. Would I simply need to buy a 2x 8-pin PCIe power connector or is there anything else more subtle I'd need to consider?
Also, am I right in thinking these 8 pin connectors are sometimes referred to as 6+2 pin?
Many thanks.
