Tower Plus EBT2250, not working with RTX 5070 Ti
I have a Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 that I purchased new in March with a 1000W power supply and a RTX 4060 Ti graphics card. I would like to upgrade to a new RTX 5070 Ti graphics card that I just bought. It fits fine and I used the 2X 8 pin power connectors to the 3x 8 pin to 12+4 connector for the card, but with 2 power connectors it does not supply a video signal and just shows a red light by the 12+4 connector. According to the web, it means it does not have enough power to function. Is there any workaround to use my new graphics card in this machine, or is it a lost cause?

Update: I got it working now. The Dell Tower Plus EBT2250 with a 1000W PSU has an 8 pin connector with a 6 pin connector on each of two cables. I ordered a 2X 6 pin to 1X 8 pin adapter cable from Amazon and connected it to the 2X empty 6 pin connectors. This gave me the 3rd 8 pin connector it was looking for. Once I hooked up the cables again, it fired right up and has been working trouble free for a week now. I ran a few tests to make sure with no issues. My computer is noticeably quieter and the performance is noticeably faster on graphic intensive tasks. Hope that helps others.
