Old PSU compatibility with 4070 super ti

    I am looking to upgrade my GPU from a 2070 super to a ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. What is troubling me (besides the cost) is powering the unit. Up until now i have gotten away with supplied adapters. I am a little worried about these newer cards and compatibility with my current PSU.

    My build is currently https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/pm6J6D with the exception of the GPU (2070 super), the PSU is quite old but has been rock solid, it is a Super-Flower SF800P14XE Golden Green 80 plus gold Modular from more than 10 years ago, all the new PSU's seem to have an 8 x 2 pin but mine is a 3 x 3, will I be able to use that at all? or am I looking at upgrading PSU first?

    Thanks

    Not sure what cables you are thinking of, but from looking at your model it would require you to use the fixed PCIe 6+2 and two additional modular 6+2 cables in order to connect to the GPU's 3x 8-pin PCIe to 1x 12+4 VHPWR adapter.

    If you can't find both of the 6+2 cables you'll need to buy a new PSU.
