Hello,
My 1070 FTW has 2 8pin power connectors. I would like to know if I can connect only 1 of them without damaging the card. I'm ok if it doesn't get the full power/performance.

At least he asked before he went and destroyed something. Sometimes education can be a lot better than roasting the poor kid.

I'm not a kid :)
For a card which can be under/over volted through software, it just as easily could've have capped at 150w if only one pci-e connector is present.
 

Maybe try only plugging in half your Mobo connector.  That will help

With only one connected, you will see this when you boot..Both need connected.
 
 

Hey, that's better than when they would screech at you that ear piercing tone!

Will it run off of one power connector if undervolted?

Have you read the posts, especially #6?  No, it will not run without the required power plugs plugged in.  You will get an error message telling you to turn off your computer and to plug in the required power adapters.  
 
And you people wonder why I made the snarky comment above.  It's like the victims of zombies are invading these here forums.  They have no brains! /s

Why do people have to be so rude when answering a question.
 
For the record it is possible (even though I would not recommend it) to power some graphics cards without the power connectors attached but you need a very heavy duty overclocking motherboard drawing a lot of power to do it.

Because I for one am sick and tired of sugar coating things, especially when it comes to things that are common sense.  And if you thought I was being rude, well you'll have your eyes opened up once you reach the real world and start asking these exact same questions in a corporate environment. You won't be getting my type of responses, you'll be getting security to empty your desk and escort you off the premises.  If you need the truth sugar coated and covered in pillows, I'm sorry you were raised in such a shallow environment.  The real world doesn't work that way, especially when it comes to repeating the same ignorant question, when it's already been answered.

I have worked in a very brutal environment for the last 40 years and I can really dish it out if I want to as well.  I am grateful to my old boss who was an absolute animal to work for (he would make Donald Trump look very limp wristed) as he showed the very worst and also the very best in people.  One thing my old boss showed me is it was not necessary it be rude when it was not needed, on the other hand if you are going to dish it out make sure they know you mean it.
 
You get far more done by being nice than you do by being an "£$%

Refer to reply number 1. The answer was no before, and stays no now. Use a dual 8 pin connector, as I suggested the first time. It is a single cable with two 8 pin plugs on the gpu side.

Yes, I read the original post and it said nothing about undervolting; that's why I asked about it. Instead of of just saying yes you still need both power cables connected, you have to be rude. Congratulations!

please don't brick your card by trying to hook it up any other way than the directions say.. I am sure your upset that you have a double 8 pin card and single 8 pin wire from your PSU.  Buy a new modular PSU and enjoy the awesome card you have.

I though most evga cards with double 8 pin slots came with a splitter.
