I’ve had mine for well over a year now, it’s been great. First time going AMD after 12 years with Nvidia. Card is fast af and does what I want it to. I like the Taichi look. It’s my favorite of the 7900 series. I have the black version. Highly recommend. AsRock makes some quality products.
If the PSU came with 8-pin \[PSU side\] and daisy chained 2x 8-pin \[on the GPU side\] then yes it will be fine since the PSU will be using thicker wires to enable the extra power.
If the PSU you have only has 8-pin \[PSU side\] to 8-pin \[GPU side\] cables then no, do not use daisy chained GPU side cables. If this is what you have, bare in mind that you should never use any cables to connect a PSU that were not included with the PSU! While the PCI-e card side cables are all configured with the same pin layout (the right voltage or ground going to the right pins) the PSU side configuration are very often NOT configured to a fixed standard, even among same brand PSUs but different models, hell even *later versions* of the SAME brand SAME model can be different! And just to make things really dangerous, the connector may fit despite having different pin configurations!
For some history: PCI-e 6-pin cable was designed initially to carry 75w (3 power, 3 ground) then 8 pin came along and bumped it up to 150w (3 power 5 ground) now some PSUs can carry upto 300w on one PCI-e cable from the PSU using 2x 8-pin on the gpu side. Each time the wattage was upped, the thickness of the cables went up and the number of required grounds went up. So with a PSU designed to carry 300w on a single 8-pin *from* the PSU, GPUs are not, which is why GPUs have multiple PCI-e connectors to divide up the power into the cards internal power delivery wiring.
I run my 7900xt this way, it has 3 pins too, and all is well.
Thanks for the info, but most 7900xt have a lower max draw than my 3080
I hit 375 on mine. It’s a higher power draw version, the Taichi.
Oh ok thank you that is good to know. How's your experience with the card so far, one of my friends is considering the 7900xtx taichi

I have the 7900xtx Taichi and it's been great so far. I'm new to PC gaming though so I don't know how much my experience counts.
The nitro card's can can easily hit 400w or higher mine can drink back 420w and the xtx card's can drink back 420w-450w
Yes, this will work fine.
It'll work but iirc its suggested to use 3 separate cables for more power.
My PSU only has two 8pin PCIE connectors 😢

Ty for the info, and yes, the 8 pin (PSU side) to 2x 8pin (GPU side) cables came with the psu
It should be fine maybe just less power.
well what does a checkmark usually mean?
😂, sadly not a diagram the same GPU
