I'm in a bit of a bind with my power supply. It only has one PCIe 16 pin connection available, and I need to power up a second GPU that requires one 8 pin connection. I tried using a 16 pin to 3x 8 pin cable, but it looks like that cable is designed for the opposite direction (3x 8 pin to 16 pin). I've searched for other cables but they all seem to be similarly configured, and I really don't want to waste more money on this. Can anyone help me figure out what my options are?

What model is your power supply? You might be able to find a cable that lets you connect from your power supply to two 8 pin connectors instead of trying to convert backwards. Just make sure whatever you choose is compatible!
It's a Seasonic Focus GX 1000W Gold. All five of its PCIe 8 pin slots are already taken.
