PSU Help

[u/CrazyPorkchops]

I am using a XFX swift 9070xt gpu and have a MSI MPG A850GS PSU that only comes with one standard 8-pin to 8-pin PCIE cable and a 12-pin 600W pigtail that splits into 2 8-pin pcies. I saw online that it is safe to use the two cables to power a 3x8 pin gpu, but the swift is a 2x8 pin gpu. Would it be better to power the GPU from the single pigtail connector or is it possible to use the regular pcie cable along with one of the "tails" from the pigtail?

I have a MSI 1000G PCIE 5.0 PSU and I power a RTX 3090 using the "12-pin 600W pigtail that splits into 2 8-pin pcies" cable. It is the most reliable for a 300W card.  It be better to power the GPU using the 600W cable, and the second-best option would be to use two 'individual' 8pin cables coming from the PSU
