Do you require a different power supply unit for the RTX 50 series?

It consumes a bit less energy, making it suitable for that setup. If the new GPU features a 12-pin connector, it should come with adapters. Otherwise, it will operate with the standard 8-pin PCIe, probably just a single pin.
The website specifies 16 pins, and the included adapter seems suitable. However, there are reports about its quality being poor. You might be mistaken.
12 pins designed for power delivery, specifying 4 GPIO pins to indicate GPU power limits (150/300/450/600). The power connector and design present challenges, especially on high-end cards. A 600W requirement is demanding for a cable rated at 675W, and any flaw becomes more critical. Most premium cards don’t include current sensing on these pins, treating all six 12V wires as one bus. Higher resistance in any wire increases load sharing issues, leading to overheating and potential failure. The provided adapter should work adequately. There are likely 5060Ti models that avoid the 12VHPWR cable if you prefer a simpler setup. Alternatively, using an ATX 3.0/3.1 PSU with the same cable and connecting directly may be a better option.
If it's the adapter included in the graphics card box it's fine. Nothing to worry about. And I can assure you that there won't be any melted 12-pin power connectors on 5060 ti cards. Its TDP is far from the "problematic" wattage.
