“I currently have an RTX 3050 that I’m pretty sure uses an 8 pin power cord. This uses an 8 pin cord, so Im I able to just use the same 8 pin thats currently plugged into the 3050? Or do I need to swap out cords. Am I overthinking this? lol”

• Yes, you are overthinking it. You probably solved it by now, but you can use any dedicated 8-pin connector for your GPU.

• You should be able to use the same one, as it only matters how much power the PSU (power supply) is able to give out. :)

• Your way overthinking it. They use the same exact eight pin, all cards use the same exact eight pins connectors some use two some use one and now they have cards that use 16 pins and when you buy those cards they come with an adapter in the box and you usually plug two eight pins connectors into the adapter and then you plug that 16 pin adapter into the card. But as for your situation yes you would just plug the eight pin connector that you're using on your card now into your new card You're definitely overthinking it.

• You can use the same 8 pin cord just needs at least 650w psu.

• Overthinking it. Uses the same cable. The 4070 is rated at 200 watts compared to the 3050’s 130 watts. 75W is available from the PCIe slot, and another 150W from the 8-pin cable. Works out just fine.

• Hi User, Yes you can use the same cable. Note the RTC 4070 recommends a 600watt power supply. Hope this helps! -John
