Same rail works, but the issue is excessive current through the connector on the PSU side. Seasonic suggests their PCIe cables are rated for up to 225W, even though they have two connectors each rated for 150W. If your GPU draws more than 300W, you might run into this problem. It's rare but possible. For safety, consider using two separate cables for the graphics card if you replace it under warranty.
