So it seems the RTX 3080 takes 2x8 pin connectors, but for some reason(?) the evga FTW3 powers it with 3 8-pin connectors?
I am wondering if my 2012 Corsair AX850 PSU can handle that. I know it handles it in terms of pure wattage, but I am not sure if the modular connections offer enough inputs. I also think I'd have to purchase another 8-pin connector if that's even possible?
Does anyone know if I can do this, or will I either need to go with an alternative RTX 3080 or upgrade my PSU to a newer Corsair with more modular connectors?
