Now both cards are XFX 6800 XT AND RTX 2080 TI, both faulty cards, trying to fix that I got from eBay. The eBay listing said they were returned due to no picture.

Both cards are beeping and does not boot at the start of the PC.

I think I need to buy a power supply as I don't have that very power full.

Also the MSI RTX 2080 TI the head sing is all rusted, which infactese mebe water damage when I ped up this card the main motherboard is still ok does not look like any damage.

Now XFX 6800 XT I have still to open this card up.

The MSI RTX 2080 TI uses 3 power ports on the card so what adapiter can buy for this card and what pcu should I buy would 1000 be ok?

Both cards are just beeping on startup on the BIOS cycle.

If I try this with new power supply what would be?

Any idea how I connect 3 power connections to MSI RTX 2080 TI?
 
Stick em in the oven and bake them :) The Youtube favourite. Not recommened and and at best maybe work for a bit.

Really though you may want to try to read the BIOS on each GPU or try to write a fresh BIOS.

Next would be checking for damaged or shorted traces. Start with power in and then the VRMs. Plenty of tutorials on YT I'm sure.

PSU power not so important but one with 2 x PCI-E cables so you can connect the three connectors on the 2080 Ti to at least attempt some diagnostics.
 
I think you bought a couple of turkeys. Doubtful you will get these fixed unless you have a high level of electronic skills and probably need components replacing. 2080TI sounds dead and not repairable.
 
Video cards can be fixed but you need to be electronics wizard whose handy with a multimeter and a soldering iron to find the faulty capacitor, broken traces, dead ram modules etc.
