Asus Strix 3070 Ti 2x8pin connection?

[Timber_Wolf84]

I just bought an Strix 3070 Ti recently... would it be possible to use just 2x8pin (since i only got 2 connectors) to boot the card? Or does it really need the full coverage of all 3 connectors?

Thanks in advance

In short you need it. It for better power distribution input to the card to optimize the the card itself. That will save you problems.
