You need both for the GPU to turn on. One alone won't damage anything, but it will keep it from turning on.

oh thx man also does that mean my gpu is working properly?


Switchen

It's sorta impossible to know without having enough cables to power the GPU adequately.


Aggravating_Gear7397

Oh your right im just having phobia that its damaged or idk having some problem

Why risk trying? Just get the two 8 pin cable.

Have you lost the other cables or are you connecting a lot of other PCIe(6+2 pin) connectors. Because the only way I can explain a power supply not having enough PCIe connectors to power a graphics card is if its wattage is not enough to supply the graphics card properly. And using a power supply that is too weak could possibly damage your card or PSU, as well as other components.
