Question about pcie splitter connectors on 7900xtx
My friend is sharing his 7900xtx with me, and I should have a suitable PC to run it. However, I only have a 750 watt power supply with just two PCI connectors. Here is the PSU link:

I’m a computer science major, but I didn’t really focus on voltage and power rails when my professor discussed them. Can someone with experience advise me on whether it’s safe to use these connectors? I’m unsure about proprietary connectors and what the proper setup should be. Should I risk stressing the rails? I definitely don’t want to damage this card, and if I need a better PSU in the future, I won’t have the money. My friend is giving it to me for free, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. 😀
My friend is generously providing me with his 7900xtx. Kindly provide a link to the card since AIB partners may have SKUs that are factory overclocked, needing additional power initially. Regarding your PSU, could you tell me how old it is and what its previous capacity was?
Here is the information you provided.
The GPU in question is available at the given link.
The PSU is around two years old and has powered a 5700X and an RX6800 (stock AMD model).
No overclocking has been attempted.
I have realized I have another PCIe connector slot, so a splitter isn't necessary.
I would appreciate your thoughts on the current setup and recommendations for the appropriate PCIe connector to purchase.
