I just got a Gigabyte OC 9070XT, but I realized that my power supply unit (PSU) only has one 8-pin PCIe output and one 12vhpwr connector. Is it safe to split the 12vhpwr into two 8-pin connectors? Can I use those along with the single 8-pin to power my graphics card?

If your PSU comes with the right cables, you should be good to go! The 12vhpwr typically provides around 600W, which is plenty for what you need. Just double-check to ensure that the PSU has the necessary cables for three 8-pins. That might be a bit uncommon, though.
It's a 750W PSU, but it only has one PCIe cable that splits into two connectors, plus the 600W cable for the newer GPUs. So I might need to look for alternatives.
