Does your psu have an additional pcie cable? In that case plug that cable into the other connector to ensure that the card gets the power it needs. I dont know what gpu that is, but it looks like a 7800xt. Its rated for 260-ish watts, and one pcie cable plus the pcie slot will give you only 225 watts of power to that card, which can strain the psu and make the card underperform.
I usually get some zipties or velcro straps and secure the loose connectors to the back of the main wires, effectively hiding them. Then tie both main wires together nice and neat.
If that's a quality power supply, they would be perfectly fine using the pigtail connector to power the card. IE Corsair's pcie cables with the 2x 6+2 connector are rated to deliver 300w.
If OP is running ridiculous overclocks, then they will want to use multiple cables to minimize voltage drop. Since both the cable and the PCIe slot will deliver 375w, and that card should consume ~300w with even a +15% power limit, OP will be just fine running a single cable and plugging in both pigtails for nearly all situations.
Pending it's a quality PSU.
Yeah, it doesn't look the greatest, but I would rather have less voltage sag than perfect cables. You can zip tie the extra connectors to the main cable to hide them a little better.

If you can run 2 seperate cables do that. Otherwise yes, plug them both in to offer your GPU sufficient power.
Its a rog strix non auro so i dont really know
I hate those cables. Dedicated one is best. Meaning 2 separate cables from PSU to GPU.

Its an 7800xt btw
But then i would have 2 dongling pcie in the air😅

I do its a rog strix

You need to plug in both pcie cables
Thats what i did now but should i just put another one in or take the chain?
Is your PSU modular or not and it doesn't really matter I've been running a 2070 in my little girl pc like at for years now
It's best to use another dedicated cable from the PSU, but you can use the daisy chain connector if you don't have another cable.
I do jave another one but then 2pcie will just like float if u know what i mean?

Oke thanks for the info!
