Is this a thing with new GPUs? I've always connected my GPUs with 1 cable there was no option for 2. I currently have a RX5700 XT.

I changed it when it kept crashing on me. Then I bought a new power supply and the crashing stopped. That's what I get for ordering the 7/7/7nm/'700xt from XFX...

Edit: they should be on separate rails, so it's not a bad idea, especially if you're having stability issues.
