I recently ordered a PNY 5070 12GB GPU and it's supposed to arrive tomorrow. I have no idea what adapter I need for it, and I'm reaching out for help. My current setup includes a 650W PSU that has an 8-pin connector from my old RTX 4060. What do I need to buy to get my new GPU up and running?

I totally get the confusion! Just look up the package info on the PNY website. The 5070 usually comes with an auxiliary power cable, and if your PSU has 2x 8-pin connectors, you can use the adapter that comes with the GPU. If not, you might need to upgrade your PSU.
Just a heads up—if your PSU is a refurbished model, it might not come with the right adapter, so double-check that. If you see two 8-pin connectors, you can connect them to the GPU's adapter. If you’re still unsure, maybe check some unboxing videos on YouTube to see how it’s set up!
You’ll likely need a 12VHPWR adapter for the 5070. Make sure to check if it has a 16-pin adapter based on the model. If your power supply unit (PSU) doesn't have one, the GPU might include it in the box. So, take a look at the specs first!
