The 6-pin to 8-pin PCIe Power Adapter Cable from Startech lets you connect a standard 6-pin PCIe power connection provided by your computer power supply to newer ATI and nVIDIA video cards that require an 8-pin power connection.
The PCIe 6-pin to 8-pin power adapter cable is a cost-effective solution and eliminates the expense of upgrading a computer power supply for the sake of compatibility with a newer video card.

As a power engineer at NVIDIA, I can tell you that GPUs are allowed to use every last watt of 150 watt 8-pin power connectors, including the occasional overshoot (more than 150W). This will melt the pins in the power connector, or possibly fry a power supply with imperfect thermal or power safety system. This is why we certify power supplies. With the right cables. Some fail with the right cables.
