Like the title says, can one or both of the CPU 1 or CPU 2 labeled 8pin slots on the back of the PSU be used for a video card instead of a CPU? Thanks.

    Yes, but you'll need to buy an eps to pci-e cable adapter.

    Does EVGA sell something like this or do I have to go third party and get an eps to pci-e cable adapter?

    You'll need to buy it from a 3rd party.

    Is it true for other models as well? ...EVGA 850W GQ for instance?

    Yes, the same principles apply here. Really the main issues happen using adapters.

    Got a used >=8gb GPU that you'd like to sell? PM me

    Can and Should are 2 different things.  Don't fry an $800 card for lack of buying a $70 PSU
