Hello: I have a supernova 850 PQ 80+ Platinum PSU, I'm looking to get a new graphics card; I now have RX-560-b which is powered by the mother board, looking at RTX 2060/ RTX 2070 video card which needs VGA cable; can anyone advise what VGA cable for my PQ PSU. Also: I see a lot of P2 8 pin cables, would a P2 VGA cable work on the PQ? And to answer what happened to all the other cables that came with the PSU; somehow they got discarded...Thank You

P2 cables will not work with PQ’s. Contact evga support, and buy some compatible cables from them for your psu.

Thank You... I'm confused...this is what evga says: The following models are all compatible with each other except the 650/750/850 GT 24 pin cable however all other models are compatible : B2/B3/B5/BQ/GA/GP/GM/G2/G3/G5/G6/G7/GT/P2/P3/P5/P6/PQ/PP/T2/M1...PCI E cables are compatible across all models...I'm trying to find a single cable, because of space in the computer cabinet, W001-00-000147 is supposed to work but isn't available anywhere; yes I called evga and they gave only two: 147 & 154, as workable cables, but in their faq they say all pci-e work, but when I try to find alternative model cables then I don't see pq in the supportive list...just trying to hunt down a vga cable before dropping $$$ on a graphics card and maybe trashing something just because of the wrong cable; could you please tell me why pci-e cables for p2 psu won't work on a pq psu, they all seem to be 8 pins on vga end and 8 (6+2) on the gpu side? thank you

This is incorrect. P2 works fine on PQ.

All of the vga cables in question will work. Where are you located, if you don’t mind. I know a guy that has a plethora of extra VGA cables

You got it :-) there is 3 different sets (2 cables for each set) in the box. 4 of them are black, 2 are red. 2 of the black are individually sleeved and 2 are stock cables.
