Question What is (2023) the most powerful card using a single 8pin connector?

[spaceman]

See title, looking to upgrade from an rx 6600, PSU is buried in one of these newfangled cases.Vision isnt so good anymore so just want to drop something in. (im pretty sure the PSU in 600-650w).
AMD/Intel(!)/Nvidia..

Most likely the upcoming 4060/4060Ti

RTX 4070.

If you go with the 4070, make sure the model you intend to purchase is using a single 8 pin connector. The 4070 cards are split between those using single 8 pin and those using the new 16 pin connector.

Without knowing what psu you have... like what grade.... bronze, silver, gold, platinum, titanium, or if its even 80 plus.
And without knowing what cpu you have, along with other peripheals, you may need to change your psu or you may risk transient load spikes on that gpu, which can make your gaming experience really bad.

Came here to say the above and why is the only option a single 8 pin?

The 4070 has transients under control, any decent 600W PSU should handle it.
