“My 570 graphics card requires an 8-pin power plug. I see the picture that looks like two 4 pins can be inserted together to create an 8. Is this correct?”

no this is incorrect, two 4 pins are used for the motherboard cpu power connector, NOT for graphics cards, the power supply does have two six pin connectors that have an extra 2 pins on each, meaning cards with two 8 pin connectors can be supported too; do not try to use the cpu power connectors on the gpu, they wont fit and if they do, that would be bad.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sort of. I have a 580 with the same 8 pin and this power supply works fine. It actually has a 6+2 for graphics card and 4+4 for some motherboards
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The 2 4 pin connectors are for the cpu plug on the motherboard the one you need has a 6 pin with a 2 pin to make it 8 pin if you need it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Those are to power the CPU on the motherboard. You use the 6 pin with the 2 pin cable together to make 8 pins for the video card.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is correct. Any combination of power pins can be used for a GPU, as long as the GPU doesn't exceed what the supply can provide. That said, I would recommend having at least 100 watts more in a power supply than you actually need as it's always a good idea to have some headroom.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I know this is forever later, but the 4+4 pin power connector you're looking at is an EPS power cable for your CPU, and it plugs into the motherboard- not the GPU. This PSU does have a PCIe 6+2 power connector, however, and it *can* push that- though I wouldn't try to overclock it or ask much more of it than driving an RX 570.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, my 580 worked with it fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Can be put together they slide and snap
