I want to update my cMP 5,1 to Mojave so I got a Visiontek rx480 off of eBay. Thought it was an 8 pin since it's an 'overclocked edition', but it turns out it's a 6 pin. to be safe I still plan on powering it with both mini 6 pins.
It doesn't look like the 6 pin to dual mini 6 pin splitter cable is readily available. I found one on eBay, but it might take two months to get here from China. Figure they're effectively extinct now
I'm assuming I can just get the common 8 pin splitter and Dremel off the two extra ground pins and effectively have a 6 pin cable. Failing that, I guess there's probably some combo of 6 pin M - F splitters/adapters to get an equivalent, but somehow a chain of multiple cables seems worse? I'm not very knowledgeable about the intricacies of GPUs so I wanted to ask here first.
