I'm currently using an RX 580 2048SP but I'm looking to upgrade to an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. My PSU has enough wattage, but I'm stuck without a 12vhpwr connector. Can I use an adapter for this? If so, should I go for a 6+2 to 12vhpwr or maybe two 6+2 to 12vhpwr connectors? I know the RX 6800 XT offers better price-to-performance, but I'm particularly interested in the upscaling and ray tracing features of the Nvidia card.

A solid option is to get a direct PSU double 8-pin to 12vhpwr connector from your PSU manufacturer. This would ensure compatibility and reliability for your GPU upgrade.
So you're saying a double 6+2 to 12vhpwr from Gigabyte would work?
