GFX card install.

Last week I got my hands on a EVGA 3070. My question is this and I don't want to mess anything up.

That card has (2) 8 pin connections. My EVG cable coming off the 850 watt PSU has (1) 8pin connections along
with an 6pin with a detached 2pin.
Like I said , I don't want to screw this up. So, do I populate all 16 connections on the back of my 3070?

Thank you.

You must have both connected. Be careful though. it sounds like that 8 pin connection is for the cpu power connection. Most video card connections are the 6+2 connector.

You'd probably be better off flipping it and buying a laptop with the proceeds, assuming it's going in your sig rig.
