Cannot get my new RTX 4070 TI to work

Problem Solved.

It turned out that I had to pair the correct set of my GPU connectors to match the splitter that was provided with the card. I have the 8 pin connector which was direct to my 3060 but the 4070 has a 16 pin connector so i had to untie some PCIe cable from my PSU to match up another 8 pin and it worked.

My PC was purpose built by one of the Gaming vendors and the wiring was neatly tied and tucked away in a PSU compartment (like they all are) so I had to dive in and pair the correct connectors.

Thanks again all for all of your help and support; I really appreciate it.

Cheers

If it is truly a 800W PSU then this should be plenty of power for an 4070 Ti.
A friend runs his 4080 from a bequiet darkpower 750W PSU without any issues.

80W Power supply? I think my XT was bigger than that… :wink:

Just a note, a BeQuiet DarkPower is going to be scads better than some random unit.

The world of power supplies is quite lawless and buying quality over some digits on the side is very important.

I know, hence it works for my friend with the 4080 and the 750W.

I form myself also use a BeQuiet DarkPower although in the 1000W version.

@meh1951 What power supply do you use?
